Just posted this in the GW 2 forum
Since I and others have wondered whether or not our desktops/laptops would be able to run it. I figured why not make a topic where users can post their specs and inquires and others can tell if the game is playable, on what setting, or what they need in ORDER to be able to run it
We don;t really need to know the model. As long as we have CPU, RAM, and V-card. we can make a somewhat accurate dedcision. all the extra info is very helpful as well.
Blizzard, has always been a spec friendly company. Always. I would even say some 400$ laptops would be able to run D3 on lowest settings with low-avg fps. on the lowest of low

Mostly looking for a video card upgrade perhaps just a little over $100. Wondering what else I can do with this machine before I build from scratch.
Mainboard : eMachines EMCP73VT-PM
Processor : Intel Pentium E5300 @ 2600MHz
Physical Memory : 4096MB (2 x 2048 DDR2-SDRAM )
Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 210
Operating System : Windows 7 Home Premium Home Edition Media Center 6.01.7600 (64-bit)
450W Power Supply.
As well as if I'll be okay to run the game come release..

Just wondering what made you go with the MSI MB. I just got a kit from new egg for this game that came with MSI and so far I have not had any problems with it but I had never heard of MSI before. I don't keep up with computer parts, my last build was at least 4 years ago and MSI was not really an option, just abit and asus. Is MSI a decent company?
I went AMD for the first time ever with my recent build. Stats are: A4-3400 (2.7ghz), 4gb DDR3, MSI board, 1 TB HDD, and radeon sapphire 6570 2gb.
I went super cheap this time and got pretty much just a little above what was needed to run this game. Went with an MSI board and wasn't sure about it. I spent under $400 and could not be happier with how it is running right now, and how it ran the beta. I don't play a lot of PC games so I didn't need to worry about the future if something comes out that interests me I'll upgrade my GPU.
TC:
Great thinking on the topic. This topic has been around before and people didn't keep it bumped and mods were too lazy to sticky it. I'll request a sticky for this one and hope others do as well. It would be nice to have had this thread up a week ago, it makes sense to have until release.
To request a sticky: message detail/ request sticky/ comment box " answer to most frequently asked question".

First all, I will say this to anyone who asks me. I feel that if you bought ANY computer in the past 1,5 years. even 2. I feel You will be able to atleast RUN D3.
With your specs. I feel you can run it on low settings. I am actually the most unfamiliar with 200 series but should be as good as integratd HD3000.
If youare looking to up, I think vid card would be the best bet. and for the price range of 100-150, you can find a good neough upgrade

All you really need to worry about with your video card is if it supports DX11. If it doesn't, it wont run.

The thing is, I know my motherboard and CPU can support any card I wanted really at my price range, the thing is I'm worried my PSU cannot handle something higher up compared to this 210. I don't know much about GPUs at all but the 7750 looks nice.. I'd honestly rather stay with Nvidia though.

I don't know anything about GPU's either but don't let a PSU hold you back. They are fairly inexpensive to upgrade.

. I'm not looking for a top of the line card just.. something to actually enjoy this game. I get about 20-30 fps in the beta on lower settings but it still feels.. choppy..

Yeah, I know I can run the game on my laptop, but I'm hoping for more than using a 800x600 resolution.

Played the beta on my laptop: Dell XPS M1530
Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 / 2.2 GHz
RAM : 4.0 GB
128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS - 128.0 MB at 1280 x 800
With the default setting (detected by the game) the gameplay was smooth. I have no complaint. I will buy the game and install it on that machine.

for all.
even for the min, I feel a good portion of those should be able to reach min reqsMy card is the 2nd highest on low performance and it was running extremely slow on low settiings. Talking 10-14 fps in town, 3-6 fps against SK. Even dropped to zero once. I just laughed at exited D3. Maybe its not my card though and my computer just sucks.
Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz
