Performance demand: Aion vs AOC

[Iven]

So I have just bought an issue of AOC and have been despretly trying to do as many things as I can to cleanse/update my PC to have it run at a decent performance.
Currently I have it running at .... well basically nothing, lowest everything. My max FPS with fighting is 5-6 and while in a city/landscape with low view range 8-10 FPS. My pc meets all the recomended system requirements, however I don't have vista, DX10, Dual graphic cards.

My real question is, will Aion end up playing at the same performance on my computer? If so i think i have been waiting 3 years for.. well nothing.
Any feedback is appreciated.

NVIDIA GeForce 7500 LE, 512 MB PCI-E

That's you're problem right there. The 7500 is an underpowered PoS. Doesn't matter that it had 512MB GDDR. It's a cruddy card.

Get an 8 or 9-series card. If you want to be cheap, a 8800GT or a 9600GT will do very well for you at around $100 to $120, I believe.

Again, the 7500LE is junk. The rest of your system seems fine.

Thank you so far for the feed back, If you could be more specific as to which 8 or 9 series i should get, that would help out tremendously. I'm not a genius when it comes to components. I just know the basics.

8800GT or 9600GT, unless you can find something better on sale (sometimes you can).

To be honest though, yeah, Aion probably won't really need a ton of power to run at low or medium settings. High is a different story, but normal settings for normal people with a normal amount of cash on hand/spent on PC parts will run fine on probably even a 7800GT, though I wouldn't recommend using something that old.

Or, heck, wait until the end of June for the new nVidia cards and watch the old ones fall in price!

Without commenting on the aforementioned game, I can assure you that Aion is being developed with a constant consideration of performance. That being said, as I hope you can make out from screenshots and videos, visuals definitely aren't being neglected.

There's of course still plenty of optimization to be done on the client being used in the Korean beta phases, but requirements are already very reasonable.

Good job guys.

You all handled that one like well-civilized adults. A round of applause for all of you!


Yeah, right.
