i probablly wont get aod

[David 070]

reason being is, computer requirement is :500 mghz

i only have 450, and im not upgrading my pc just to play it (at least not for a while.)

oh well, and i really want to try it also

Maybe this can help you... When I got the TRLR, I have a 200 Mghz, but the requirement are 250... I bought the game and its worked. If the other component of your computer are Ok, I think you should play it.

That's too bad David, but I think you should have posted this in the AOD forum, you might get some suggestions for how you can improve your PC to aod's standards.

Long time ago I played TR4 with a 133mhz pc while it needed almost the double. I just turned off some graphic effects. Maybe that works on aod too.

as i bought C&Crenegade,everyone said it won't work with my PIII 500 ,coz it needed 550mhz,but i didn't even got to know a bad latency or something,it went fast all the time,so you may buy it without upgrading your PC

Being able to run TRLR on a lower spec than the required came about through the specs being set to the FMV requirements (bink compression is a lot more resource hungry) and not the actual ingame action. The game itself was no different to the earlier TR's (and thus sharing their min specs really) excepting the bolt-on additions like bump mapping and volumetric effects.

This won't be the case with TRAOD at all. It's a new engine that will require the grunt demanded of it in the specs suggested so far (I'm still expecting them to climb a bit more myself --"100 MB" for the install is just a joke really).

simple get it on playstation my computer wouldn't run Lara's hair let alone the game so get a playstation that will do the trick.

I have never seen a game that had a 'minimum' CPU speed that would not run on CPU's lower than that minimum. The minimum is simply a guideline to ensure that you get playable framerates. A 450Mhz is really not that far below a 500Mhz, and hence you should be able to play the game. Your framerates would be no less than 10% better if your processor was 500. However if you have a GeForce Level and above video card, David 070, this is more important. If you don't, then your framerates would be horrible, and hence unplayable.

i think after aod comes out im going to read reviews and ask people in posts if they have run the game in something less than what is required, and if they have with good gameplay, i think then i will get it!


thanks everyone for all the tips!!


happy tombing!
