UT2007 Hardware Requirements Revisited

[EggBoy]

By all means upgrade to PCI-E. They hardly make any motherboards or graphic cards with AGP nowadays. Besides that, it's better to have a PCI-E board and card, because then you can upgrade bits and pieces over the years. If you're stuck with AGP, you will be forced to switch the entire machine, so better switch to PCI-E sooner than later.

Yeah PCIe is the future, though its interesting to note that most AGP cards today actually run slightly faster in benchmarks than their equivalent PCIe version (and cost slightly more). I think its due to some extra overheads in the PCIe bus compared to a single dedicated AGP slot or something, correct me if I am wrong...

I wonder how this will do?

Athlon64 3700 SD
DFI nF4 Ultra-D
1GB OCZ Gold VX
256MB 7800GT
(PhysX maybe)

the more info about this game the better. as i said in the other thread EPIC can always release info to keep us news whores happy

I think it's a friend of Lauren's, I think they have their own secret language code.

you seem to know what I'm thinking before I post it.


Beer guts rejoice!!

This is kinda weird. First you got that specs post on atariF, that gets the "can not me more official" and gets deleted. Then you got the "when we get new ut2007 info" post on atariF that gets deleted. And now this stuff.

A little info would be appreciated, last stuff dates from 3months ago.

UT2007 will not be published by Atari, the UT2007 forums will not be hosted at Atari. They don't want people discussing non-Atari games in the forums. Easy enough.

I'd supposed it was more that benchmarks & such, up till recently, have been more AGP-centric & optimized as such, could be first/early gen mobos coping with the fact that PCIe can throw around a lot more data as well.

Please accept my apologies for any misunderstandings and for any trouble you had with this issue. PC Games Hardware has no interest to damage the sales of UT 2007. We all hope that this title will rock!

Looks like the specs themselves are going to damage the sales. No one is going to buy 500+ dollars of hardware to play it. (I wont atleast. PS, f*ck you Mark Rein)

I guess I'm nobody then, because I'm going over the 1000 dollar mark.

I'm over that point as well. I guess I should cry about new technology instead like NegativeTrend though, that seems way more effective.

Im not too sure... I think it's actually pretty hard for most games to max out even an AGP 4x, it probably happens occasionally in short burst when the screen gets full of stuff. But then my knowledge is based on some pretty old benchmarks which I can remember from a while ago, so the latest games might actually benefit noticably from having something faster than AGP 4x. So its anybodys guess whether UT2007 will be capable of maxing out AGP 8x long enough for there to be any benefit of using PCIe 16x.

Is it really "easy enough"????
We are on the intarweb... ...and you expect people to gather the difference between two rivaling companies and the simple logical consequence that they don't want products from the other company discussed on their board??

I think you expect too much Angel...

BEST SPECS FOR PC

BEST SPECS PC TO RUN UT2K4??????????

Keep a look out at tomshardware.com......

Don't buy FIC motherboards..... trust me... I learned my lesson many years ago...

Even though I'm a huge N'Vida fan, ATI makes great VID boards too.

Plextor may be ahead of the game, but they aren't really that relibable.... (personl exp)

More ram is good, make sure you buy the right kind... and don't exceed WIN specs.

Most Important... Ignore me.... I don't get out that much... lol
