System Requirements

[SaltyDragon]

Hello. I really want to buy Eco ASAP however my current specs only just barely fall short of the minimum, will my computer be able to run it? I will be building my own PC in the future as soon as life can make it happen but until then this is what I have to rely on, for its day it was pretty good but I definitly need an upgrade

OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(t) i5 CPU M460 @2.53GHz Quad Core
Memory: 8GB RAM
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 (integrated)
DirectX: Version 11

Thanks for any assitance

my pc

AMD FX 6300 (6core) @ 3.50 GHz
Geforce 960 GTX
16GB DDR3 Ram

LAN conneciton (full graphic settings) @ 25-30fps average
joining other servers (full graphical settings) @ 15-20fps average

as you go and build more and more that 15-20fps becomes standard not average if im honest i would say i need rig upgrade now for this game. but im playing it non the less. but yea just lately last few months i have been thinking its time for a upgrade of sorts now. my tech is getting borderline useless now.

oh yeh, yours seems quite a bit more powerful than mine, was that with full or medium graphics? i can live with crap graphics and atleast 20fps (25 at least preferably is). either way my tech is way out dated, got this thing in Nov 2010 for like over $1k AUD, aged pretty well tbh with only 2 re-images. definetly due for an upgrade to a desktop but life just wont let me atm.

Also how do you think a game with just myself and a friend (over internet) perform? Better than other servers?

sry had to go out its all max graphics possible, i did try turning some stuff down, but have to be honest i dont think the improvement at say half everything vs full everything = much fps gain to make it more than worth while.

i dont drop below 20fps to badly, (built up areas etc) and it is playable just that odd time when things get a tad choppy, i get twice as much performance hosing my own lan server than when i join a public one because theres to many people building to much everywhere.

Alrighty cool, i guess i can always get a refund but tbh if i wait for a good sale and it doesnt work out i can keep it and just wait til i upgrade, i can be a very patient guy as this thing is wayyyy past its best before date haha

agree i use to buy new hottest GPU and PC tech the moment it hit the shelf, selling a GPU with more than 6mnths of warrenty on it for half the price, not anymore!!

i too can cope with 20fps, but this i admit is sometimes a tad choppy for even me.
good idea with the refund thing.
