Thread: What are spec's for the computer you are running Victoria 2 on?

    Default What are spec's for the computer you are running Victoria 2 on?

    I was thinking of buying Vicky 2 but the system requirements for the graphics card have me bit bummed out. My laptop has a GeForce 7900 GS and the sys req's call for an 8800.

    This is what I have. I was just hoping for some feedback if someone with similar specs is running the game and how it does. This will obviously depend on the graphical settings you use but I was just hoping for a rough idea.

    2 gigs Ram
    Dual Core 2.16 GHz processor
    GeForce 7900 GS
    Running XP

    Thanks a bunch

    I belive the 8800 is in the recommended specs, not the minimum one. Technically with a laptop card they're almost never generally made clear as "supported". Think as long as it has pixel shader 2 it'll work.

    I'm fairly certain that'd run the game. The graphics isn't too much of an issue, just tone down the res and turn advanced water off and you're fine. What is an issue is the CPU, but that's an issue for everyone. The game only takes advantage of one core, so even people with mighty machines struggle endgame or when big wars happen. I'd try the demo if I were you, you'll know if you've got any graphics issues there, but the CPU issue is inescapable and gets worse the longer the game goes on. I've got a 3.4Ghz Quad (the Quad part being irrelevant as it only uses one) and I get noticeable lag when it reaches 1900 or so.

    Yeah, my processor is a 2.4Ghz Quad and, though not exactly a beast of a processor (now 2 years old), I would expect it to cope with a game like Vicky2 no problem. However, by about 1890 I start to see some serious game lag...The game time you get before then though is great value - and of course if you play MP with a friend you can keep GB in check which gets rid of most of the late game lag issues.

    2,61 Ghz, 2GB Ram, GeForce 9400GT

    Heavy lag around 1900, mainly the fault of several thousand brigades, ships and factories that are around at that time.

    Still better then HoI 3, it was crappy enough from the start that I never could bare playing it.
    Has signatures turned off.
