Will my system play FF yet :X?

Genuine question, I've recently decided I need to upgrade, I brought this wank because I'm special, I know it could be better but most of it was salvaged from an old computer :P

I haaaave

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+
2GB of RAM (800Mhz)
nVidia 8600 GT

seeing as this is a major upgrade from my previous, I canney wait to see if it'll play FF nicely !

I have 1GB of RAM and a RADEON 9250 - I can still play FF. I can't play TF2 for more than like 5 minutes, though.

So yeah, you can at least play FF. Highest quality? Iunno, but you can play.

Source games use a lot of PROCESSOR.

You have a dual core CPU for Christ's sake. You'll be fine. I used to play it on a P4.

My system is a lot worse than yours and plays FF. Performance is a lot worse than HL2, but i get around 30 - 40 FPS nonetheless (using a high-fps config).

Athlon XP 2400+
1 GB Ram
Geforce 6200 (yup!)


I play at 1024x768, high textures, low shadows, low shaders, medium models and no antialiasing. anistropic filtering is set to 2x. Oh, and i 'downgrade' FF to directx level 8.1.

I have 512 ram and an ATI Radeon 9800 Atlantis. And it runs smooth.

Guys, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a serious question, as much as it was a: "LOOK AT MY SPECS LEWLZ" thread.

Where's the dual 8800GTXs? But yes, that should run it. I would have gotten something better than the 8600, as it's mostly just a mid-level card with DX10, but hey, power is power.

I'm still using the geforce4ti and athlon xp 2000+ I got 5 years ago with 786 ram.
I'm running at 1440 x 900, with no major tweaks, no AA and it's playable except on a spammy dustbowl match or something.
