Running OFF @ 2560x1600 resolution - what hardware is needed?

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

I am looking forward to run the game on a 30" screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixel. In order to have a smooth game experience what kind of hardware equipment is needed?

 

Many thanks in advance for any hints.

 

Best regards,

I'm running OFF on a pretty mainstream gaming computer. It's a year old Gateway FX 7024 gaming PC with an overclocked GeForce 8800 GT. I run in 1200x800. So, doing some comparison, I would argue that you would want a very high end system. Newest nVidia card, a lot of ram, a high processor speed (though multi-core doesn't really help in OFF), etc. It's a high end sim in terms of the visuals it's cranking out - even though it is using CFS3 (though I would argue that it's been modded to the point that only the base skeleton of that graphics engine is left so comparion system specs on stock CFS3 is pretty useless).

 

In short, you want a lot of horsepower. If you have one of Google's servers lying about with one of those suitcase nuke sized nVidia portable graphics processors, you're off to a good start! :biggrin:

 

Hope that gives you a basic idea. Cheers mate!

I'm running my 30" at that res off a GTX8800, max FSAA and AF and getting very good frames (sliders on 54451). :good:

Thanks for the answers mates!

 

I though about a GTX 295 graphics card and some kind of Phenom from AMD, but not sure yet. Most important to me is to be able to run the fabulous game on that resolution.

 

Cheers!

go to google, and do a search on "gtx295 micro stutters". seems like the dual gpu cards may have some problems. (ati 4870x2 is even worse) But as always, do the research for yourself, and make your own decision.

25 x 16 is demanding and two GPU's are the best solution. The 295 appears to be a good solution, but 2 x 285 really work well.
