<div class="IPBDescription">Can I run NS2?</div>I really want to pre-order as soon as possible but can run NS2?

My specs are-

AMD fx-6100 six-core processor

10GB DDR3 system memory

Radeon HD 7450 graphics card w/ 1GB DDR3 dedicated memory

1.5 terabytes hard drive


Is this good or will it not work?

    Is this a laptop? I would say could run it but not very good. You should really think about gaming on a desktop they are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

    I think you will be able to run it decent, however, if you upgrade your graphics card to something better. You will be able to play it VERY GOOD. You rprocessor is very fast, just go out and buy a decent graphics card...installation is pretty easy.... I say around 100 dollars.

    That Radeon HD 7450 graphics card is really weak. Its like putting a lawn mower engine inside a Nascar

    AMD's numbering system is quite misleading and confusing... a Radeon 5850 blows a Radeon 7450 out of the water.

    The game is rather CPU limited at this point, so the GPU doesn't have that much impact on overall performance (unless you are using something really outdated)
    I run it on a 2600k+ATI 5870 (1920x1200) and changing graphics options does barely anything to increase my FPS. On the other hand overclocking the CPU can yield some pretty big performance increase.

    With luck you might be able to find somebody else with an fx-6100 running the game, who could give you some insight on how the game runs with that CPU.
    But going by my gut-feeling and the overall performance of the fx-6100: Don't expect wonders, it will probably be playable but not really fluid.

    Just keep in mind that the game is far away from being optimized right now (at least judging by what UWE has said about this), so performance <b>could</b> increase by a huge chunk with the final release. But i've heard stuff like that plenty of times by developers in my gaming time, in the end nobody can really say how much better the final release will run.

    Well compared to Nvidia, AMD at least has a consistent numbering system that says somewhat meaningful about performance/generation. I still remember the release of the 9xxx series by Nvidia which had just been a huge rip-off. A 8800 GTX having better performance then an 9800 GTX? (Even by Nvidia promotion charts, until they removed them from their site). Only Nvidia can come up with crap like that.
