They said they were aiming for it to run on 4 - 5 year PCs. Nothing more specific than that other than a 560 would be "bitching".

I just looked up the GTX 550 ti

Jeez, you'll do just fine with that. No need to upgrade.

And since it is a shooter, you're going to want to turn off anti-aliasing anyway(Which is the biggest hog in my experience) so you'll be completely fine.

That actually makes a lot of sense. The first thing I thought when looking at that picture wasn't even about the balance but rather "he's going to break his back like that". I think my age is starting to show?

What do you mean by fine? 60 fps @ 1080p?

VioletZero · 2012-03-05, 03:19 PM

Well, the reason why you turn it off is because it makes it incredibly hard to see enemies at a distance.

So even if you were running like two 580's you'd want to turn off anti-aliasing.

460 will be fine. 550ti will be fine.

Pretty sure that's not something to worry about yet.

To come anywhere near saturating PCI-E 2, Kepler would need to be insane, as in, "pretty-much-definitely-not-going-to-be-that-insane", insane.

I always play with VSYNC. You know how I got around the problem? I bought a 120hz refresh rate 1920x1050 monitor. Acer makes it. Damn, damn good item.

Maybe HA can opt to wear light armor? To drive vehicles but still keep his heavy weapons?

edit eh beaten to it

looking good!

CrystalViolet · 2012-03-05, 03:37 PM

Do we know if they will be showing anything today, and if so, who's covering it?

I cant find ANYTHING being streamed on GDC... literally nothing.

Hamma · 2012-03-05, 03:40 PM

There is no point for PlanetSide 2.. you won't see anything

BlazingSun · 2012-03-05, 03:43 PM

Looking great!

The MCG needs to be altered though, but they figured that out themself already I bet

. The top handle and the trigger handle are too close together ... even the animator couldn't fit the arms/hands onto the handles properly
