Reccomended specs for FS2k2?

Postby Liam » Mon Jul 21, 2003 9:53 am

Hi.

I was just wondering wht the reccomended specs are for this game, to get good graphics, and a good FPS rate?

My PC is only just better than the Minimum so i'd like to know what sort of PC you'd need to run the game well, also if people know the Reccomended specs for 2k4 that'd be helpful aswell. ;D

Hopefully soon with RAID 0! :D

Hi Liam-

Most people here say to have a minimum of about 512mb of RAM, I can say that much.

My system specs are  right there
<--------

and I've got absolutely no problems with F$ running.  I generally get an average of 30 fps or so.

That tells me you could cut back on the system I've got and have few (if any) problems.  (Unfortunately, I absolutely have to have the specs I've got or higher for other stuff the computer is used for.  lol)
Great edit, Bob.


Google it.

You can see my specs at the bottom of this post.

I would say you need at least 256-320mb of ram, and 800mhz+ processor, and at least a Geforce2 class video card for smooth operation. If you are upgrading, check out the hardware forum, especially http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ ... 1058561049
There, I've compaired some various Nvidia video cards along with their prices. You also have the choice of going for ATI's Radeon too.
