Am I mean to you!? o.o

It wasn't you

It wasn't you

Thanks!

It's really silly for SE to think about it because there many people out there who don't understand the technologies of computers. We are just here to help them out and be sure they all are ready before BETA comes out. I can tell you, if this thread made us breaking NDA, mods would lock this thread instantly.

Man, that cooler looks nice. Wish my card had bigger fans so it didn't sound like a freaking jet engine whenever I start playing. .-.

Those are some BIG fans for a 550 Ti card, not to mention the copper heatpipes. For what it is, it's nice considering other 550s. This card runs very cool and I bet the fans are pretty quiet too, right?

I dont think you will have a problem with running the game with reasonably high settings. Although I doubt you'll max the game out, you should be able to do higher than middle settings.

Also, like the person who posted above me said... This game, atleast in the initial alpha graphically did not look nearly as good as 1.0, at least in the gameplay videos I saw.

Hopefully this will improve before the release of the game, otherwise, theres going to be a bunch of disappointed players, myself included.

I don't give a shit. A 6970 ran the Alpha fine with everything cranked except Ambient Occlusion and Bloom which I always turn off because I personally dislike them. Frame-rates were stable and in the high 60's and may have dipped to 50ish in town as I recall. Regardless, they were much smoother than 1.0. Alpha was an early build so I expect everything to tighten up and become better optimized as time rolls on. Regardless, compared to 1.0 it was like night and day. The 7970 recommended requirement is certainly a typo.

TLDR: Alpha ran great on my system. If you have a 5850 or above with any decent quad processor, you should be able to comfortably play 2.0.

I was dipping into the high 20s when Yoshi showed up in Gridania on Bahamut.
I think it's fairly safe to talk about the alpha since it's over. Mods, please correct this assumption if it's wrong.
