Computer Specs?

Post by undeadlizard »

What are the Specs required for OpenMW going to be? Are they similar to morrowind's required, or totally different? The reason I ask is, because I'm building a new computer, so I need to know what parts I need to run OpenMW efficiently. :?:

This isn't Crysis 3 or anything. If you are putting together a new system that is at all spec'd out for gaming, you'll be fine.

I believe the only firm requirement is a graphics card that supports Shader Model 3 or higher. You will not be able to buy a new card these days that does not pass this requirement. As for running OpenMW with a high FPS, it's hard to say. We have not optimized the engine yet and it runs a bit slowly for some people. I am unsure of how much performance gain we will see after some optimization.

This should be the opposite of crysis in fact it should run on lower specked hardware by today; standards and if all goes well the same requirements for Morrow Wind expect for yuo will need a newer video card.
