System Spec now? Pweese....

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 2:08 pm

Q: What are the system requirements for pc?
A: The minimum and recommended system requirements haven't been finalized yet.

I understand that this wasnt going to be breached until the game got closer to release.

But with the release date now being pushed up - to a week earlier than usual.

Is there any chance of actually getting the Specs for this game now?

I feel that less than a month away is a more than suitable time for us to know what exactly were going to be needing Spec wise.

I cant speak for everyone - But i dont exactly have a "high top" gaming console, I do know how ever, That any game ive throwing at it - Ive never struggled with.

But my friends and myself have been pondering on this for a long time now.

So any chance we can get some knowledge shed on this :D Pretty please.

Its been suggested it will have roughly the same spec requirements as Call of Duty. But this is only speculations/estimations. Hope this helps. As for official specs, it hasnt been released yet

Yeah - I figured it would be around the typical....But it just seems "weird" - That they havent released the specs themselfs.

I find it a little unusual for a company not to release there own system specs on there title - It states to me that, This could be a marketing strategy.

The game looks intense - The graphics are superb, But why no specs yet :S.

Makes me wonder if there maybe asking for specs that only "top gamers will have".

I only run 2.7GHZ CPU - 3GB RAM - and a typical 4750 HD Radeon 1gb Card...And although this sounds pretty nice....its very typical.

The GHZ is the big let down for me, But because i dont know the actual system specs of the game - It makes it harder for me to know/decide whether it would be better to upgrade certain parts of my PC - In order to know that when i do get the game, I know i can run it- Rather than the "Wait and see" approach that seems to be going on.

I think it's a safe bet that the system specs will be released soon.

I'd like to think if you're able to run games like L4D2 very well Brink should be no problem... but who knows... only splash damage.

Thats what worrys me lol.... Its never about a games "Graphics" etc....

Its about there Coding.

And if Brink is a heavily coded game - Then theres 2 possibilities.

The coding is terrible to the extent where it wants you to have High end specs E.g - 3ghz + 4gb RAM and a GTX 560 GFX card.

Or the coding is fine thus like L4D + COD - On which i get minimum 30FPS - on high gfx....

Like you says, Noone knows - Thats how im hoping we get some info asap, Just so people can prepare.

What CPU model is it? That will make more of a difference than the clock speed itself.

My Specs : - Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
System Model: M68SM-S2L
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5400+ (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory: 3072MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11


Card name: ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series


I reckon these specs are more than suitable for the game tbh - At least on "Medium" settings...

I just more or less want the specs for a "safety" feeling.

So my friends can judge for themselves.

I'd guess you'll be just about ok, certainly to play it at low/medium settings at a reasonable resolution.

Again though - It really all depends on the coding.

Again - If the game is coded well, (Which i know it will be, SD rock that way - They actually take time on there titles) Then we should be all good.

IF the coding has been difficult - Then we might have a problem.

Ive been like most - waiting on this game for a very long time, Since the first Broadcast of it....

I dont want to be able to "Barely" run low/Med gfx on a good resolution.

I want to know what i need to upgrade to make this game run tremendous, Thus making my experience with it- Everything that i imagine it to be.

My main problem is my CPU - Im jolting a Duel core which is a good thing - but only at 2.7 - I could probably Clock it too 3.1 - But thats being risky.

GFX card should be fine if the games again "Coded well" - my 1gb HD Radeon should blast through it ( SO im hoping )...

& I run 3GB RAM - More than enough i imagine.

Again who knows - This is why i need specs! lol /sadface

Ive never tried to run crysis 2 - Not cause i dont think my pc couldnt handle it ( Which tbh i dont think it would )....But i was never a fan of Crysis tbh.

Hopefully we will get some update over the next couple of days about the specs.

Are there any downloadable/web-based testers for these games that someone like myself could use to see how our system holds up? Haven't done a whole lot of SP gaming lately (Oblivion was the last and it ran smoothly on max) but obviously that was a while ago.....

This game uses a (heavily) modified version of the id Tech 4 engine. I think it's pretty safe to say the specs won't be ridiculously high.

The only point of reference for this engine I can think of recently has been the 2009 iteration of Wolfenstein, though I know Prey 2 is using it for it's upcoming release in 2012 (or, possibly id Tech 5).

Nah in all honesty - I cant see there being a big "Spec" jump on the game either - Looks perfectly coded aswell.

Regardless though, Still feel safer to know the specs asap - Just so i know what to start ordering, IF i even have too that is.

But i hope there is some kinda "Stress Test" release just to try it out.

Indeed, it would be great to get the actual specs.

With the moving of the release date and the ramp up of publicity, I can only hope we will see them forthcoming in the next few days, or week.

Click http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ bro, it's a free thing online. Completely safe. But they only have specs released usually when the game is released.

The first game I can't use max settings (8x AA is considered max for me) for is Bulletstorm's demo (though when I tried it, I had about 6 programs open and my computer was left on for 2 days). According to Kotaku's Brian Crecente, it rocked his high quality PC. Seeing how close Bulletstorm is to Epic as opposed to Brink is to ID, and that Unreal 3 newer than ID 4, I'm lead to conclude that Brink will be less graphically taxing.

How I feel, graphics and art design all matter towards immersion and gameplay; particle effects could be used to make a giant monster salivate or could show someone is being healed, a shadow or reverse silhouette (light in formation, say the shape of a doorway) can indicate something around the corner. Don't doubt and say it doesn't matter!

Canyourunit is complete bs anyways - Its been stated that it really is in-accurate in so many ways....

Its told me countless times "Failed" - for certain games, And ive been able to run them with flying colors, so dont trust it.

Great example - Bulletstorm, Great graphics, Great gameplay, Great storyline, Terrible coding.

It was actually confirmed that Bulletstorm Coding was failed so bad that the game had a fault with "NVidia" Cards etc... There for FPS drops..

Best anyone was getting was 15-20fps - Even on some of the best Gaming specs out there.

But this is a good example to "bad coding" on a great game. I still enjoyed playing it, Even though the fps was terrible.

Doom 3 is also a id tech 4 game one of the very first to use the engine. A couple years ago I did a moderate upgrade on my computer, I do not have wolfenstien as a test game but I do have doom 3 and recently played it to see if it ran fine, I did have the no nose, pale skin and zombie eyes bug on the people in d3 till my drivers were upgraded then everything look the way it was supposed to. Now to the point, my current pc specs are:

Core 2 Duo 2.93 CPU 775 Socket
2 GB of Ram
Evga nvidia 8600 gt video card
Window 7

Im really interested in playing brink and was wondering if I can play this game with my current setup. Only games I really have to test this was doom 3 (settings maxxed with anti-aliasing off) and cod mw 1 and they both run on this fine. Also I really do not wanna upgrade till 2012 or when doom 4 nears, so kinda hoping I can get by with this build till then.
