Stop sounding like such a fanboi, and stop spreading misinformation.

tl;dr but read my other posts fool, I'm not spreading misinformation.
I just said I could play Crysis with 2gb but my memory usage was always at the cap.

Memory is cheaper than dirt, literally, these days, there's no excuse to have under 3gb (4gb is better obviously - dual channel).
Also calling me a fanboy is pretty lol, I loathe MS, will never pay for their products regardless of what it is, and was one of the last to adopt Vista. And I really want MS to be forced to make game-relevant things open source so that linux can be a viable competitor for windows.


as for my cpu use in foobar it's 0% with typical settings, but as I said, I'm using some dsps with FLAC causing it to go up to 3% (would show as 6% to a 2.9ghz duo or 12% to a similar single-cpu). If I was using APE it would be more.
I wouldn't even have to use the most cpu-intensive dsp if my card would support asio/wasapi's automatic samplerate switching like every other sound card on earth, not to mention the Win 7 drivers screw up asio and wasapi completely.

My computer exceeds all the minimum requirements to run the game, but my processor is only running 1.73 Ghz. Will i be ok?

You should, a person had the Closed Beta running fine at 1.6ghz on a dual core. Do you know how many cores your CPU has?

[Jony]

Yea i got a Duel core luckily

[GianRios]

Processor: 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo T9300
Memory: 2GB DDR2
Storage: 250GB hard drive
Optical Drives: Double-layer DVD?RW
Display: 15.4-inch TFT
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 (256MB)
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium

how well will this laptop run Aion? its a dell

[Tamer]

So I'm back from Blizzcon. I must say, though, I am a little disappointed that blizzard would not answer my question of why Aion was better than WoW in front of their fan-base.

Anyways, I just skimmed through the posts since I was last here about a week ago.

-Windows 7 is a good OS. Vista was the worst OS to ever exist ever imo (this includes earlier Linux OS's). I would rather use Windows XP or even 2k any day. At least they don't take up 1243427512125 Petabytes of memory.

-Aion will run fine on the newer dual core Intel processors clocked under 2.0Ghz. And by "fine" I mean it will at least run. Maybe not too well.

-Gian: I'd say between medium and low if you want your frame rate higher than 40fps. The closest to that I have used was a laptop with a 3430 (which is lower end) but I can't imagine 3450 being terribly higher in performance.

how about me..?

xp pro sp3
2gb ram, dual channel, ddr2 at 667
19" widescreen, 5ms response, pretty standard, 1440x900
geforce 8100 onboard video (ASRock K10N78M motherboard)

yeah, yeah, i know.. onboard video. i built this machine on the cheap.. about 240 usd total, 109 for the monitor.

runs warcraft nice and smooth, even standing around in a crowded dalaran it never went lower than 20fps. out in the field it was 60+ as usual.

perhaps some more ram..

[Vear Heart]

$349 is damn cheap but thats not a bad set up for the price haha!

IF you can run WoW fine then you can run Aion with at elast the low settings.

You never posted your CPU, but as long as your CPU doesn't bottleneck your GPU then you should be fine.

Oh and Adding more RAM really doesn't help that much. In rendering your GPU's VRAM is more important if you are on a larger screen, but with your screen I wouldn't worry about it.

[Tamer]

I think the only processor capable of bottlenecking a 8100 is an Intel Atom processor. The 8100 is a really low-end card.

hey i just got a laptop. its decent and kills the recommened settings of WoWWLK and i went to a site called can you run it and i passed everything, even on the recommened, but the video card.

this is what comes up
Video Card
Minimum: NVIDIA GeForce 5900 Ultra with 128MB RAM / ATI Radeon X700 with 128MB RAM or higher
You Have: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Upgrade Suggested: Unfortunately, your computer does not meet this requirement. Click here to see some recommendations.
Features: Minimum attributes of your Video Card
Required You Have
Video RAM 128 MB 1.7 GB
Hardware T&L Yes Yes
Pixel Shader version 2.0 4.0
Vertex Shader version 2.0 4.0

see it says i have enough to run it but i'm new to pc. i've had a mac for the last like 4 years. i'm lost

Those are integrated graphics and won't work well even on low settings.

[Phalse]

yeah, im worried about my onboard video leaving me at 8fps or something.

yet, time and again ppl report getting good framerates in this game, yet they also specifically say they lag their *** off in cities in wow. my machine runs perfectly fine in wow.

geforce 8100 onboard northbridge, nForce 720a southbridge, 512mb of my 2gb ram being used for the video.

chip is amd athlon 64 5200+ dual core, running at 2.7.. anyone think i can run aion on medium? or maybe tweaked a bit, saving myself some juice by turning some of the fufu stuff off like shadows?

it wont be easy to drop wow (trying to sell my account) especially with all the long hours i put in.. gear for mage, rare pets for hunter, this and that. same story as everyone else's. but i WANT this game to pull me away from warcraft. =] if i have to put an actual card in my machine to play a more sophisticated game, ill do so but wont be able to for a while. what im afraid of is the wow expac coming around before im done with the upgrades that i know id choose, such as SLI, water cooling, and so on. if cataclysm comes around anytime soon i know id be sucked back in. wtb worgen =)

Meaning you can get away with a lower end CPU if your GPU is very good, but the problem is that you will be capped at a certain point. It will hold you GPU back if it is to low end, but you should always buy a GPU that is better then your CPU, cause you will get a more stable system rather then a low end graphics card that cant handle the heat when its put on.

-------------------------



First off, no 16.4" screen is running at 1080p, sorry if it is then your pixels are tiny, and you wouldn't be able to see near anything, that plus they won't even have a native resolution for that. 1080p is 16:9 they will have widescreen resolutions for 16:10, which is the standard format for widescreen computer monitors.

Second, you also have to take into account viruses, spyware, malware in general. That includes corrupted files in your registry and even broken hardware. But if your complaining about 30-80FPS, then you need to take into account that the human's can only comprehend 60-70 FPS, anything higher and the eye will just cap it at the most it can see and call it a day.

That plus The vertical Sync, or V-Sync of an LCD is usually 60hrz meaning anything after 60FPS and you will be seeing 2 frames on a screen. That's bad cause it will split your monitor and that's just aesthetically displeasing.

And honestly if you have that nice of a system I think you can put $10 to get at least an HD3870, but thats okay if you have had it along time which I suspect. It just seems you over shot with that CPU and Harddrive. But still the 36xx and the 38xx's should be able to handle this game on max, which lead me to believe their are more forces bogging your computer down then just your hardware.

-------------------------

So how's this for a First post ??
xD

Sorry I haven't been able to reply earlier been busy at work. And it is an FullHD screen and it's a laptop screen to top it off(Which generation were you born in?). It's an Sony upgrade if you buy it from SonyStyle.com check it out only like $100 for an 1080p laptop how sweet is that. And I'm pretty sure it's an 16:9 ratio cause it's kind of aimed towards the Blu-Ray section cause I'm using it to type this reply hence no black bars on the top or bottom since it's full screen. But hey maybe your right it's not like I used a measuring tape I just guessed it.

FYI this is exactly what it says on the website:
Optional 16.4" widescreen XBRITE-FullHD™ display (1920x1080 resolution)


As for you second Anti Virus basically all you need is an low resource hog structure. I use ESET heard of it? I'm sure you have. You mention corrupted registry's common now if you were experienced enough you would be able to manually fix minor problems and if major ones occur a little research wouldn't hurt would it?

You mentioned the human eye can't detect frames over 60-70 you are dead wrong in this fact, regardless you will still notice slight changes through frame rate changes. The frames if you have a trained eye you would notice the jumps in frames from say 80-40 all of a sudden you would definitely notice that, it's call a spike of somewhat. With the GTX 275 it's more geared towards if you go into a populated zone and your frame rates just crashes down to the low 30s - 50s with a decent card, it would not drop but keep an constant fixed frame rate. Understand? I'm not going to insult your knowledge by going even more in depth since you seem like you know somewhat what the hell your talking bout.

You seem to advertise ATi cards are you an ATi fanboy? (Just Curious), Cause I'm an Nvidia fanboy had bad experience with ATi.

As for the CPU/HDD this computer was meant for more then just Aion if you haven't already figured it out.

Oh and one last thing when I custom built this VGN-FW390 CTO series it only had one GPU option so the 3650 was the only thing I could have with it. At the time I had my eyes set for this laptop so I didn't think it really mattered. But hey here it is biting me in the rear. I didn't know 3870 was only $10?

This computer I'm building was something I planned a long time ago using Aion is just one of my excuses for me to build this.

I'm sorry but was this aimed towards me? "So how's this for a First post ??" I sense a little hostility LOL

Again sorry for the late reply you must think I ran and cried in my room heh?

Edited:

My bad I had to add this in yes it's true that most games depend on the GPU but with for Aion par say it's designs are based off of the Muti-Core theory. What does this mean most of you would say? It means the game will run smoother if say, you have 2 computers with the same spec, BUT one has a Muti-Core CPU one is definitely going to run smoother then the other. Meaning the more cores you have "FOR" Aion is better but yeah what ever don't take my word for it I'm not an noisy guy, but I'm willing to help. Programmers around trying to switch over to the new Muti-Cores but progressing slowly, hence you won't notice any big difference in performance between an Quad-Core from an Duo-Core in some programs. I say just give it a few years since most developers are already adapting to the new faster and more efficient way.

Edited Edit:

If I don't answer to this right away it means I'm at work, sorry I don't troll around the forums all day. >.O
