    Default How does your computer grade?

    On the Can You Run It website you can get a grade on how well your computer can run Shogun II. Just pick Shogun 2 from the list then click 'Can You Run It?'. After you do it, post the .gif with your progress! Lets see how everyone stacks up.

    Same here. It failed my vid card for recommended, even though it passed the 4 tests underneath of it.

    My PC is over twelve months old and I probably spent 3x what you did (good for you) - and that was without the Dell 30" screen that I use (over £1k alone).....

    The advantages of being an IT contractor and having a PC as a valid business expense. Also PC games are allowed as a valid business expense - or as I jokingly call them 'business software of a graphical nature'...

    P.S. My PC was good when it was released but as it's old now there are better and faster machines out there. I should last me a few more years though.....

    I don;t think that counts as being allowed, just easily fraudible.


    Anyway.

    These tests are crap anyway. It rates my pc as just a sliver above minimum. And similar tests from other sites give wildly different results as well.

    I spent around 700 Euro on the PC and 160 Euro for the screen. How much did you spend?

    I got the minimum. I am outdated in all reqs. This is going to suck....

    I get the same score with my i7@ 3.4 and 6970.

    It's all bollocks. I'm sure you will do fine.

    Think the cpu info is a bit whacked, everything is recommended here as well, beside my CPU.
