Gears of War minimum specs Exposed!

You only need 400... xD!!! My pc has 2.4 ghz but its not a core xD! 1 gig of ram=50 dollars. Nvidia 7300=73 dollars... LOL!!!! CAKES. you really on need 400.

a Dell 530 is 349 with 1 gig of ram put 70 dollars in it for a 7300. you have spent like 425 dollars? OMFG!!! xD Learn some PC specs before thinking a pc cost 3000. only a xps with 4 gig of ram,Nvidia 8800,and Quad Core(Clocked at 3.2 ghz) takes that much xD.

Looks like it will require a $3000 PC to play the game.

l-_-l

Last time i check a Nvidia 6600 cost around 34-49 dollars xD! but a 7300 is 70 dollars. 0.o Why does everyone think pc gaming is like upgrading every month. new GPUs dont even be released every year. a 88000 with 1 gig of ram will last you till ...2010. yeah xD

... Really? Um go to Dell.com thne go to 530-531 models. They have a 6150 GPU,1 gig of ram,and AMD Simtac Processor. Go to the Nvidia site buy a 7300 GPU for 73 dollars. Bada bing,cant put links cause im using Mozilla

I think i will need a better graphic card. will 8500GT do ok?ff7isnumbaone

It might, but 8500GT is worthless, don't go anything lower than 8600GTS and even then I would encourage you to step up to an 8800GTS.

Is this a joke topic? How many times does this stuff need to be debunked?

Where does "a single core 2.4ghz Intel chip with an nVidia 6600 graphics card and 1GB of RAM" = $3000??

I paid ~1000 for my rig (Core 2 Duo 2.4 E6600, 2 GB Kingston DDR2 800 mhz, NVidia 7600 GT etc), it's a year old, and all I would need to play the new crop of games on High settings is a DX10 GPU, which can cost anywhere from 200-800, and possibly a bit more RAM to be on the safe side. If I really went all out I guess I could spend another thousand to fully tune it up, but 2000 is still a far cry from 3000.

They say that the minimum specs won't play as well as the 360.. well no kidding. The maximum specs, if you were so inclined to spend thousands of dollars on a rig, will look far, far better than the 360, so at least the option is there.

Please total up all of these components and make them equal $3000 because I'd love to see it. Love to see it.

TC's got mad jokes, that's all. Mad jokes.

My computer coundnt handle it. I have a 6200. But I have 2 gigs of ram so if I update it I will be fine with just about an game.

Why do hermits feel that a build at home system counts for being cheap? Whats the cheapest computer I can go into a store and buy that will play this game maxed out.

Why in God's name would you buy a Dell/Acer etc POS package deal? For convenience's sake?

Of course a "build at home" system counts for being cheap. It counts a lot more for being cheap than a silly factory-produced PC counts for being expensive. No PC gamer is foolish enough to buy a mass-market factory PC. The reason those Dells and stuff cost more is because they know you are intimidated by specs and components and acronyms.

You don't need to know anything about computers to build your own rig. Go to a store, pick out all your parts, buy them, have them assembled by some geek in the store for a nominal fee. You don't even have to know what RAM is. There will be a warranty on all of the individual parts.

Simply put, "going to the store and buying" and "cheap" should not be in the same sentence. DIY is both cheaper and better.

There are some companies, like Alienware, that make gaming rigs that you can just go to a store and pick up, but they are absurdly expensive. Its always in your best interests to buy the components and have them assembled/DIY.

I wasn't sure. It's either insanity embodied in a forum post, or the driest wit these parts have ever seen.

I have to say that the minimum specs aren't that high.

On the other hand I've never ever seen a game that has been remotely playable (and looked anywhere near how it is presented on the net) on a PC that follows 'minimum specs'.

So you will no doubt need quite a powerhouse of a PC to play GoW at high res with max detail.

Still, these load hiccups are a small price to pay for the improved visuals. Gears looks absolutely fantastic in the high resolution of a widescreen monitor. The textures have been improved a good deal from the Xbox 360 version, and at the highest settings with DirectX 10 enabled, every pock-marked face and stony wall looks better than ever. If you're worried about your Quake 3 machine not being up to par, a single core 2.4ghz Intel chip with an nVidia 6600 graphics card and 1GB of RAM was given as a minimum spec. You will surely want more under the hood to have the game at all resembling its former self.

Stop saying the $3k thing... my PC I got two years ago for $500 lives up to those specs. :?

Oh, it's a joke... well, it was too convincing. :P

Running the game on minimum specs will not look as good as the 360 version, making the whole "runs on a 400 dollar machine!!" argument pointless.

However if you just spend a few hunred dollars more it will definently be better then the 360 version.

Well then get a DX9 card or get an 8600GTS this actually isn't such a bad deal, but I'll repeat..anything lower REALLY isn't worth it.

No but it costs around 279USD apparently.

If i have to play any PC games on minimum setting, i rather not play them. $400? yeah right.... tonyleo01

Yeah if you dont have a pc with atleast a better gpu than the given minimum settings just don't try to play it. Everytime companies give a minimum req for their game but if you play it with that hardware the game will just look like crap and it will lag and ruin your whole experiance. Still thoose req. aren't that high im sure that pc gamers will enjoy gears alot.

Yep. Minimum requirements just plain suck lol.

Wish technology would just slow down and let us absorb what's around us.

I dont know why people complain about computer prices... if you cant afford one its your fault, plus it does cost more than the 360 to get it to look better (like know one knew that...) but damn it doesn't cost no where near the thousands you console dependant gamers think it does.

MyPC (sig) cost around £600 which is around $800, Just 200 more than what people pay for PS3's and well it can do much more than "game"... I say this everytime but "YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR SUPERIORITY AND QUALITY".

I really dont understand these arguements?!... What do you expect (to console gamers) to come to these topics and suddenly realise that a PC somewhere on the internet is cheaper than your console but performs better? dont be silly its obvious that this is the PC's only down side and well you come here to releave your self because its "overpriced" for you and you want to feel that you got one over on "hermits".

I dont complain about Ferrari's I know they are better and that they cost more than my Punto!

So hermits should realize their reputation.

Some are cool, but there are a lot who completly ruin your guys' image.

Speaking of Ferraris, I'm no fan of them, but damn, a Porsche 911 can certainly steal the show parked next to something as pricey as an Enzo Ferrari (dunno what it was doing on the streets, as it makes the owner look a little irresponsible).

Puntos aren't exactly AAA material though.

And only technically could you call Halo 3 a Punto. Most other aspects are still up in there air.
