Will my PC play SpinTires?

[OttosTheName]

I see this question pop up every now and then.
There's a list of system requirements posted on the store page, but lower specs can sometimes also run the game.
So if you don't know if you can run it, post some specs here and there might be somebody out there with similar specs who can tell you if it runs or not.

I'll go first.
AMD Athlon 64 x2 3600+
4 GB Ram
Geforce 210

CPU and Ram seem to hold up fine, however Graphics Card is having a very hard time.
VRAM amount is okay, but Memory Bandwith is very poor. Memory bus is only 64 bit and Texture rate is very slow too.

So no I don't advise this setup. I can play , but I think it regularly drops under 10 fps @ lowest settings. Anything better then this should in theory play the game.

LoL, that computer is from stone age. :)

But yes you can run the game barely.

Hehe yeah kinda. Gonna replace it tomorrow with an i7, 8 gb ram and a GTX750. Finally good graphics
*drools*

lol
You should buy better graphic card. at least gtx 760 4gb

Don't see any reason to do so. I only play Indie games. ST is the most graphically challenging game I play probably.

Also... Money :P

Well then.

I'm happy with the MSI GTX 750 Ti that I bought, low watt requirements, runs fairly cool, quiet, and it takes all its power from the PCIe bus. A bit greedy but some manufacturers designed their GTX 750 cards that "needed" the extra power lead when nvidia's reference design did not.

[OttosTheName]

Didn't know that. Will keep that in mind if I decide to build this PC myself.

That system with only 8gb of ram is a waste. 16gb or gtfo. (May as well get a 64bit OS while you are upgrading. Lots of games coming out that will only support 64bit.)

A10-7850K at 4.3ghz with GPU portion at 961mhz, ram at 2133mhz, and northbridge at 2000mhz works great at 1920x1080 maxed out.

As to the 750Ti's, I have two (not in SLI) and they will run the game at 2560x1440 well. The cards with external power plugs dont actually need them, the manufacturers just put them on for the people who want to aim for extreme overclocks.

[jules.stmp537]

"The card requires a single 6-pin PCI-Express power connector. This power configuration can provide up to 150W of power. You can not use the card without the power connector (I tried). "

The review was in Feb 20th, 2014, so it is possible that ASUS have made a revision to the hardware for this card but as always buyer beware.

''16gb or gtfo''

8 GB is enough.

[Pressure Line]

AMD A4-3400 @ 2.7GHz
4GB DDR3 1333 RAM (6GB installed, but 32bit)
ATi Radeon HD 4850

Resolution - 1440x900
SSAO - On
FXAA - On
Motion Blur - On
Shadows - On
LOD - High
Grass - High
Particles - Highest
Shaders - Highest
Geom Deform - On
Anistropic - 4x

Runs at ~50fps

The 4850 is broadly equivalent to a 9600GT (minspec GPU) but has much better shader throughput.

I don't see when I would need 16 gb. I can always upgrade.
And yes I've been using 64 bit for a long time now. Will also install a 64 bit OS on that pc.

The slowest PC I ran this game on so far is an AMD A10 5800k APU. Runs pretty good even on high settings, kinda surprised me and my brother because that same APU build can barely run Borderlands 2 on medium-low settings.
