Will it Run on....

AMD Sempron

May 3, 2009 2:59:40 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Hello,

I purchased one copy of this game for myself and love it so much that I want to buy my stepson a copy so that we can play together when I get my 50% off coupon. My only concern is whether this game will run on his system or not. Specs below:

 

AMD Sempron 3000 single core (1.8ghz)

2 Gigs DDR 667

Nvidia 7900GS running @ 1440 x 900

Windows XP SP3

 

Do you guys think his system can handle this game at low settings?

I understand the min system requirements listed on the box, however, a 3.0ghz Pentium 4 is NOT the same as a 3.0ghz C2D. The sempron is listed with a rating of 3000 but it's really only a 1.8ghz processor. With that said, I just wanted to know if anyone is running this game with similar specs that I listed or even less?

any single-core CPU will choke on this game; upgrade to a dual-core and then you'll be much better off.

 

in simpler terms; no.

Tested it on a second system with a P4 3GHz w/2G RAM, Audigy 2, 7900GS @ 1280 x 1024 and XP SP3.  Had to turn everything down to Low for it to play decently.  It looked really ugly and don't know how they can claim those specs.  I would consider this system the minimum if you really had to play this buggy game.

Thank you for your constructive and informative response.

Seems like I will need to upgrade his PC in order to play. Well, guess he's not going to play Demigod.
