Ya 64 bit has some problems but I'm seeing less of them now with the windows updates.

think my pc would be faster just because of the version as well. normally dont have problems with the x32 versions, but the extra speed would be nice.

Now those of you thinking of running the game on a processor slower than 2.8 GHZ regardless of whether its Dual, Tri, or Quad core, you need to understand that you will not be able to push the smoothest frames possible for this release, ESPECIALLY with full graphics settings. 9600's aren't going to perform as well either. You will most likely be looking at a degraded setting to get a playable framerate. If you're concerned about quality, upgrade, or play it on the PS3 or XBOX 360.

Remember this, Minimum and Recommended Requirements are setup to give you the BARE MINIMUM of playability in both Low and Medium quality settings! They are not real world requirements tested by gamers. The folks who set these specs up are using high quality parts on high quality machines. Remember the demo PC's? One of the guys said it was running on a 3.2 GHZ Core 2 Duo with an Nvidia GTX 280. Those are top of the line parts. Vendors don't advertise games for PC on non-enthusiast rigs.

If you want high graphics quality with high FPS i'd recommend the following, using either AMD or Intel favored motherboards:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Phenom X3 X4 / Phenom II X3 X4 2.8 GHZ Processor or Better
ATI RADEON 3800 Series / ATI RADEON 4800 Series Graphics Cards with at least 512 MB DDR5
4 GB DDR2/DDR3 RAM
———————————————————————–
Intel Core 2 Duo / Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Quad 2.8 GHZ Processor or Better
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTS 250/ 8800 GT (G92 Chip Revision) 9800 GT/ GTX 260, 260 Core 216, GTX 275, GTX 280, GTX 285, GTX 295 Graphics Card with no less than a 512 MB of GDDR2/GDDR3
4 GB DDR2/DDR3 RAM

While most of this is common sense I know there are alot of questions rolling around about it. I started building my newest rig with Ghostbusters The Video game in mind and it's gone through two iterations.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.6 GHZ Processor OC'd to 3.12 GHZ
ASROCK K10N780SLIX3-WIFI Motherboard
Kingston HyperZ 4 GB DDR2 800 RAM OC'd to 840 MHZ
Western Digital 180 GB 16MB Cache HD @ 7200 RPM w/ SATA 3.0Gbps
BFG Nvidia Geforce GTX 260

—————————————————————–

My newest build-

AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8 GHZ Black Edition Tri Core OC'd to 3.5 GHZ
GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P Motherboard
Kingston HyperZ 8 GB DDR2 1066 RAM
Western Digital Caviar Black 640 GB HD @ 7200 RPM w/ 32 MB Cache SATA 3.0 Gbps hookup
GIGABYTE ATI RADEON 4890 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Card x2 With CrossfireX Enabled


Now I realize not everyone is going to be that concerned about it, but given the pretext of this thread I thought it would be at least neighborly to put out my own experiments in preperation for the big event.

I know i will be able to run this i have ran crysis and others on high and my pc is in great shape right now and i recently upgraded it so i have no doubt mine will work just fine on high.

my rig should run it pretty smoothly.

-ci7 920 cpu
-ATi Sapphire Radeon 4870 1gb hd gpu
-Antec 850watt psu
-6gb DDR3 corsair dominators
-WD 300gb Raptor 10,000rpm
-25.5" Samsung Syncmaster 1920x1200 with hdmi connection
-LG Blu-ray player
-mATX DFi motherboard

only problem i have is the cpu is still stock cooled. go figure. want to water cool the sucker eventually, but other then it maybe getting hot after several hrs of gameplay should have no problems running it.

As long as your base frequency is around 2.8 GHZ or higher with that nice rig you should have no problem running at maximum settings with an above average frame rate. That's a pretty impressive build. Expensive too.

thanks. i enjoy building pcs. hate fixing them:-), but love building them.

edit: also wish i wouldve done more research on 3D gaming before buying this monitor, and going with ATi. oh well.

one question, will it run on Windows 7?

Verdic is right though, the minimum or recommended specs are only gonna get it to be playable. To have it look amazing will need higher end spec parts.

maybe if you use compatible mode it will.

It will most definitely run on Windows 7. Windows 7 is a fantastic MS OS and I was very impressed with it on my time using the Beta. Compatibility mode shouldn't even come into play here. So try it without using the mode first.

I recently put together a brand new rig just for this game.

GTX 280 1GB
AMD x4 phenom 2.8ghz
8gb ddr2 ram
hitatchi 1tb 7200rpm hard drive.

And i bought a brand new 19" widescreen monitor.

Id be happier if i wasnt so sick right now.
