Is a AMD Radeon HD 6570 good enough to enjoy this game?

[jztemple]

I know that it's above the minimum spec, but the recommended is AMD Radeon HD 7750 or faster. Which according to PassMark is rated about twice as "good" as my card. Anyone using a 6570 or less card?

I have run Carrier Command with a HD4890 just fine, when it came out. And the games share the same engine, except Take On Mars has more optimizations.
You should have a Quadcore though.

I don't actually have an answer for the OP, but a 4890 is well above a 6570.

[Drettlevt]

I think it would run pretty well, without post-processing, DoF and AA.

This is probably the Arma engine and therefore you will need a decent CPU and a semi decent Graphics card

As I said, it is the Carrier Command Engine, called Enforce. NOT the Arma Engine.

Thanks, I didn't know about the game engine. I have an Intel i7 2600s 2.8GHz, which should be enough processor, and 8GB of RAM as well.

And it turns out that according to Pass Mark (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/) that HD 4890 of yours is about twice as powerful as my HD 6570. In fact it's about the equivalent of the recommended HD 7750.

And according to Pass Mark, my HD 6570 is about the equivalent of the minimum recommended Radeon HD 3870. I'll have to think about it.

Is the 65XX Series that weak? Oh my.
I have a 7850 now and I can strongly recommend it.
And it is not that expensive.

The limitation is my store bought computer. The power supply is weak and there's not any extra room in there for a bigger card. It was bought as an office computer, I've just commandered it for gaming ;-)

[Scorcher24]

Buy a new power supply, but a good one. I recommend a Corsair, which are rebranded Seasonic and have a 5 year warranty. They have seperate 12V lanes, which is good for gaming and also 80+ Bronze/Silver/Gold, depending on the model.

Then buy a bigger casing and just put your hardware in there. I mean, a new casing costs like 50 bucks max.

Then you can upgrade and never buy stock computers again :P. I always build my own.

just ran it with an AMD 6770 1Gb i5 2500K and 8 Gig of ram and it runs nice. This is the Arma engine

[Scorcher24]

Again, it is the Enforce Engine which was used for Carrier Command. NOT the Arma Engine. Stop spreading this false information....

[Niall]

So Bohemia just made a new engine for Carrier Command? No they modified the Alpha Prime engine with Arma features.

[Scorcher24]

Yes they did. Surprise.
