PlanetSide 2 ran on an GTX 670 at E3

[TheDrone]

I have a GTX 460, so I'm probably screwed.

Although if I am also a huge portion of the gaming populus is. I would say it's in SOE's best interest to make sure I can run the game at 60fps.

I think another large consideration is going to be hard drive read speed. The original PS front loaded all assets. This version, with its customization options, looks to use disk streaming.

That through put is going to impact frame rate. Not to mention, on players and such, batching is going to be very hard to manage, unless all customization is post.

So it should run pretty good for most.

Ooooh...

In high resolution and not completly optimized, it's quite a performance to have such great graphics and performances (I think I heard it was at 60fps?).

Pretty awesome !

And I have a GTX670, so I'm happy

The Devs have been reminding us that the game is being optimized to run on older systems, and reviewers are already talking about how smooth the gameplay is. Even if you are two, three, or four rungs down the "GTX 670" ladder, I think that the game will look beautiful on whatever your rigs are.

Thats amazing looks like my two 460's will max it out at 1080p.

[Lorgarn]

Interesting.

My good ol' 560Ti should be close enough to run on mid/high. If not, I'll buy a second one and go SLI. (Have been planning to someday anyways)

i use that resolution, dont see the need to go any higher than that

i am gonna upgrade my pc soon ( yes for ps2 ofcourse ^^ ) and i was thinking about getting a asus HD7850 2GB direct CUII
i'm geussing this should also be enough to run ps2 on the highest settings at a steady 30 fps, once the game is optimized a little more.
demo booths usually tend to have overkill hardware anyway.
not so worried about my cpu since most games run gpu heavy not cpu heavy

[Shade Millith]

Got myself a GTX 590, so should be set.

[Hmr85]

hmm, I hope my GTX 550ti 1gb works. Otherwise I am gonna be upgrading to that 670.

Just remember that the game still isn't fully optimized, and they were also running it with the settings turned up and the resolution cranked higher than most peoples tv's/monitors support.

Once they got the optimization finished, a lower end system will presumably be able to run it at somewhat lower resolutions with some of the graphical bells and whistles toned down. Not talking about weather or vegetation, that shit should always be on, but stuff like texture and shadow quality can be lowered somewhat without affecting game balance.

whats up with all the Nvidia love in here? last time i checked, if you wanted the most bang for your buck you went to ATI.

*runs for cover*

running the same card as Basti, no over clocking. Never had any probs with any game at 1920x1080... with an i7 2600k, 8gb memory. Only problem for me is... the SSD-drive I used to install and store things broke down, so I'm running all games from a external USB drive atm xD

Also, I do believe your system memory will be more important than gpu if you have problems with performance... so be sure to check that out before you go spend hundreds of dollars on a new card, when all you really only might need is an extra 2gb memory.

[Nasher]

I can remember PS1 being quite hard on the disk. Even today it's textures are quite high resolution and on PCs back then few had enough memory to handle them.

But now we have SSDs, so slowness/stuttering due to the disk are a thing of the past. Also now that most graphics cards come with a lot of ram, they are able to handle all the work that used to be dumped on system memory/disk.

I'm fiddling with my Windforce 670 at the moment
