I hope theres a way to hack DX10 on XP or somthing if not oh well. Im not going back vista, ever.
anyways as i see it the thing says xp, vista (only) i would say that whatever is in the () is referring to vista... and if so i think the memory requirements of 3gigs is for vista and not xp.
some one correct me if i am wrong.
Looks pretty normal to me.
The point I'm making is if devs are too damn lazy to optimise the game engine properly, the least they can do is downsize textures to a level that doesnt adversly effect visual quality, but offers FPS gains.
I've thought I was doing a good thing standing by PC gaming but now totally pointless. they are porting games from consoles to Pc and they dont care any optimization.
Assassins Creed sold 3 million xbox and 2 million ps3 version.
I bet PC version would have 5 million warez copy. why would they care??
No offence, but most people do have a dual core these days - its around $50USD for intels cheapest ones and dual core celerons just came out.
look at my rig it isn't top of line, and i've been gaming on it for well over 2+ years.
The only changes I've made to prolong gaming on my machine has been Switching from AGP to PCI E and going from a X1950Pro to HD3870. Which will probably give me another year of solid gaming. When you build a system and plan it out properly it is very easy to extend the life of it. And that little upgrade cost me like $350 max. And I still haven't sold my old parts yet so cost to me will continue to drop.
But then again i'm an adult and not some kid so even if I had to drop a $500 videocard in there every 2 years that ain't a big deal. You will spends more money in gas for your car in 6 months. So YMMV.
Asides, I can reason more with the cost of PC games and hardware. Why dump $300-$500 every couple of years for a new console when I get more than my fair use out of a PC game. See . . . on a console, you can only play it the way it's meant to be played - PC games are more open to modifications which can keep one's interest months after successfully completing them - multiplayer is more fun on a PC, too (and typically more fast paced). Plus the price of our games slowly drops after release, and usually within 6-8 months, the price is half of what it was released for. Console games hold their $50+ tag much longer than that . . .
. . . before I get on a rant - I'll sum up what has been argued and proven time and time again: gaming on a PC is far superior to that of a console. Until a console literally resembles a PC (and look at how quickly they're starting to take that route), that statement will hold true.
i dnt exactly know if my pc will run creed on minimum or recommended so could some one please tell me:
dell
XPS M1530
intel core 2 duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00 ghz 2.00 ghz
