I played Crysis with a P4 3ghz, 1GB of RAM and a Radeon 9800xt card. *That* was not a good experience. Though I'll admit, the 9800xt was one hell of a card for its time. Think I maxed pretty much everything the following two years after I got it, and that was at a time where graphics weren't standing still.

Oh, and I was a bit masochistic back then. I think I did more than 80% of the games quests on that machine Smile


I was hating Oblivion so much that I wouldn't call it masochistic to play it on that machine of yours. I would say that playing Oblivion was enough masochistic itself.

tried crysis 1 on a Pentium M 1.6GHz / 512MiB RAM / radeon mobility x700... :]
loading time about 6-10 minutes / level... would run at 40fps average with lowest settings after some initial stutter though... Very Happy

Raising settings will likely raise CPU usage and Video memory.


Requiring more then 3GB of ram is bad because of all the 32bit gamers...

Considering this is a console port with some special PC distance sliders etc it doesn't surprise me.

Are You Serious

You're a winner here.

Oblivion had to be like for your machine.

I had a similar experience on my Laptop with 9700 mobility Radeon back then. My proc was a AMD64 3400+ though.

Let's not forget the fact that you also have the OS running in the background, along with so and so software. Your game EXE may be 32-bit, but if the OS is 64-bit, the apps will benefit from a 6GB or 8GB.

They still should make a 64-bit executable, it should be the industry standard now. No one who's serious about PC gaming uses a 32-bit OS anymore.

Well, with LARGEADDRESSAWARE, you can have the application use as much as almost 4gb on 64-bit OS.

32-bit executable (if compiled with "large address space aware" switch in Visual C++) can use up to 4 GB of RAM on 64-bit Windows. Most of new games are, so it is not useless to have 6 or 8 GB of RAM even if the games are still 32-bit.

Have to agree with that article. I love Oblivion, but Morrowind was so much better.

I hate how they handled dungeons and rewards in Oblivion. All the dungeons were just filled up with generic stuff, not worth looking for. Almost no treasure at all. Made me want to skip a lot of caves, mines and castles.

In Morrowind you newer knew what you could find (at least in the first playtrough Very Happy). Like the daedric ruin, where you could find a bunch of daedric weapons and a great shield hung up the wall. Or when you found a rusty old dagger, wich later turned out to be Mehrunes Razor etc. etc.

At least Fallout 3 and New Vegas had some of that, so I hope they carry it over to Skyrim. Otherwise i'm gonna be sad

Okay

High five I use this PC only for 'gaming' and since I don't keep any additional program running in the background I've never had memory-related issues in games (except for some intensive mods such as the Stalker Complete or some Oblivion's texture mods).

I'm quite confident that Skyrim will run decently as long as you don't exaggerate with the distant trees/buildings settings (which eat a lot of resources).

There's no reason it shouldn't run properly with 2GB ram unless they didn't bother doing anything beside a 3 minute port with modding tools(very likely).

I don't think you guys have much to worry about. It will probably run just as good/bad (depending on your config) as Oblivion, Shivering Isles and the Fallouts ran.
