    Default Hardware Best Prices and Deals for MTW2

    Goodmorning gents. (and ladies)

    With MTW2 comming up, and all of us in need of investing in hardware to run the game, I was thinking that I would make a thread in which people can post links to online shops that sell graphic cards and stuff at good prices.

    It might be a bit premature, since the game isn´t out yet, but I think that a lot of noobs, such as myself, would appreciate it if the more tech knowledgeable members could post prices and links to cards that will be able to run the game as a minimum on medium.

    Please post only link and price.

    Have a great weekend.

    Not a bad idea, although you may tempt folks into beggering themselves!

    Seen as prices change almost daily at some sites(where they have offers partic)it is always a good idea to try a price checker/comparison site, although not all decent surpliers appear on them, so always have a good last minute look around.

    With some of the UK's cheapest sites I have signed up for their weekly email offers.
    Although a moderater my say that this sticky in the BasementC Hardware Buyers Guide, covers it?

    I just picked up an ATI Radeon x1600 512 for only 200 bucks at ATI's website, seemed like a good deal to me.

    I think that a computer where RTW run well (with huge unit dimension in battles) could run well MTW 2 too, because his graphic engine is the same of RTW.

    An example is a 3.o Ghz, 1024 mb of ram and a graphic card at least of 128 mb.

    Athlon 3700 for medium? Hmm... Depends on unit size.. But AMD 3000 should perform just as well as P4 3,0 GHz in games, maybe even better. So, do you mean minimum requirements by "low"? I think it was Intel 1,8 Ghz for minimum.

    I think a 128mb video card can still do the job, like a r9600xt (mine hehehehe)

    I will kick some english ass in braveheart style ;D

    It sucks when the required specs are informed like: "3 Ghz cpu and 256mb graphics card" That doesen't tell very much...
    Try comparing: a) Intel Celeron 3 Ghz and ATi Xpress 200 256mb and b) Athlon 64 @ 3 Ghz and X1900XT 256mb. With that first one, you will have trouble getting game working on low-settings. With that second one, It easily runs on high. So much for processor speed and graphics memory.

    So I ran RTW well with this setup (huge units, mid-high graphics) so will it run M2TW do you think? And IF I were to upgrade, how would I best go about it, like what is the weak link, or would I be best off building a whole new system.

    AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (1.84 GHZ)
    1 GB of Ram
    ATI 9800 Pro (128 MB DDR memory)
    Asus A7N8X-X Motherboard (not dual channel capable i believe)
    Maxtor 6E040L0 150GB HD (not sure of cache)

    Perphaps this thread needs renaming, as it seems misleading and is steering away from it's intended purpose, as we already have the stickied 'System requirements thread'.

    For all your computer hardware needs just go to www.newegg.com best site on the net. I dont think a 3700+ Sandy would be medium, you could oc that to almost 3.0 on air.

    True, and works well for sure even without overclocking. Is there any english site that lists hardware prizes and places where to buy them? There's that kind of finnish site, but it's no use for you others...
    Pretty handy, just pick the cheapest and order it. Really depressing if you buy a uber graphics card and then you notice you've paid 100€ too much...

    Alright, the System Requirements? thread is and will be the only techy thread in the M2TW forum. All other tech stuff belongs in The Basement.
