Red October HQ Min. Hardware Requirements

<< < (4/4)

Scolex:
I get by just fine with:
C2D e6600@3GHz
8800GT (DVI to HDMI)
4GB of DDR2 800
Appears to be just as smooth as when using standard. I have checked for dropped frames and there are a few but I have never noticed and they may be induced by other things that are going on in the background that is unrelated to MC or RO.

Does anyone know if something like an Intel Atom or AMD Zacate if paired with an nVidia GT450/550 -ish card will play 1080i / 1080p RO HQ successfully?

Does anyone know if one of the faster Sandy Bridge or AMD Llano without an added video card will play 1080i / 1080p RO HQ successfully?

I have an AMD Llano A8-3850 APU and it struggles with RO HQ - lots of dropped and delayed frames (particularly with 1080i). RO Std is smoother (0 dropped frames) and I really cannot tell any difference with video quality. CPU utilisation is also much lower.

With a bit of tweaking - allocating dedicated ram for video in the BIOS (1gb), disabing the de-interlace function in MadVR and use the display drivers de-interlace function, I am able to get 0 dropped frames for 1080i 29.97fps & 1080p 23.976
