System Requirements?

February 21, 2012 12:18:31 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Just wanted to know how the chances are that I'll be able to play the game in full graphics mode on an Intel Core i5 560M Dual-Core, 2.66 GHz notebook with an onboard Intel GMA HD Shared Memory GPU and 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM - PC3-8500 - 1066 MHz under Win7x64.

I think the phrase "do I need a ferrari to get to work" comes to mind...

 

I can run it on full mode on a 4 year old laptop with half those specs.

There are no guarantees with a shared memory gpu.

I have Pentium 4 2.8 GHz (single core), 1.5 1 GB RAM (0.5 GB was defective), GeForce 8600 GTS (256 MB) and Windows XP. Will FE work?

Single core might be a problem, I'm no expert though.  Thought I saw a dev say that the game required more.

Gandhialf, yes it will work, since it can run on my Athlon64, but performance won't be great.

Do you have single core processor as well?

Yeah, Frogboy said that single core processors will not be "officially supported". And I don't know how to deal with it...

edit: "We don’t officially support single core CPU’s because they’re so old but their terrible performance helps us find bugs" (source). So I guess I must forget about playing FE. Maybe there will be a demo so I could find out if my computer handles the game.
