Let's not start that sort of thing here. There is "room" within Dx9.0c for further enhancement without leaving the consoles totally behind. The only one I know much about is Microsoft's Xbox 360, and its graphics had the capabilities of a high end Radeon five years ago that really have only recently been fully utilized. The X1950 Pro was an excellent card then.

It's an Xbox game. If your PC is less than a thousand years old it'll run it.

Wrong.   The average PC today has a worse video component compared to what games require than back almost six years ago when the current console generation was all new, and desktops were dominant.  These days, the average PC is a laptop with only an onboard chipset video chip in it.

The average PC today isn't made for gaming...

But anyone who knows what they are doing when building a PC or purchasing one in terms of gfx card specs should be able to run ME 1,2, and 3 with relatively easy (I mean the first two run fine (not "great") on ATI 4650's/5650's...I doubt just based on the general specifications it will be much different for ME3

It has to run on consoles, man. Below average PC will be more than good enough to run it.

BioWare don't make their PC games console ports. The PC spec will be higher than the console spec.

Let's keep all this type discussion here in this one thread, and not start new ones or dig up different old dupes of the subject matter, shall we?

I think its supposed to have similar system reqs as ME2

We'll have to wait and see, I think.

There's a current thread running comparing console predictions for PC predictions that has begun to cross over into PC Hardware recommendations, which rightly belongs here in this older thread.

That worries me.Will I be able to play ME3 on that resolution,or will I have to turn it down,and how much?

You're looking at going down to 640x400 with about as much clarity as a blind man.

Someones trying for mod 

[Gorath Alpha]

AFAIK, on the Bioware forums, all of the moderators from outside the company volunteered for the positions before being considered. I have previously suffered the slings and arrows of wearing the moderator hat and weilding the modstick, elsewhere. It's like work, but unpaid.

[Soul Cool]

Well, I can play ME 2 on a Radeon HD 3670 (On my laptop which is definitely not designed for gaming [can provide further specs if needed, but you get the idea I hope], desktop is much better.), which, all things considered, is a pretty (Make that very.) terrible graphics card by today's standard.

I can't imagine ME 3 will be any sort of astronomical jump in graphics requirements. In fact, I'm pretty sure I could run it on the laptop with little to no problem if I really wanted to.

[Finefinchfailer]

I really do hope that my old geforce 6800 could run it.

[Gorath Alpha]

IMO, if it's any 6800 other than a GS / GT, I most certainly hope not, since that will mean that the graphics will have become degraded from what they are now, unless your definition of "run" is extremely lenient.

[Almostfaceman]

Unless Bioware decides to provide high rez textures for the PC version, I don't see the requirements being any different than for ME2.

[javeron1]

I would think with how it looked on the gameplay demo videos, and the fact we are going to be able to load our previous saves, that a far assumption is that if your computer can handle ME2 it should be able to handle ME3. I would wager though that if you max out ME2 it won't be as good as maxed ME3 by far. my computer can handle ME2 maxed no problem but I have a computer meant to handle 3-D engineering programs, which is also great for gaming ^.^ my computer stats are:

quad core 2.2 GHz processor
8 GB of RAM
1 GB of graphics with a 738 MHz processor
and lots of Hard Drive space

Windows 7 gives my computer a performance rating of 5.9. the hard drive data transfer speed takes the rating down a bit

[DiebytheSword]

I was amazed at the difference from my old rig to my new rig. I ran Mass Effect 1&2 on an ATi 1900XT card, 939 AMD Mobo. Now I have a Phenom II x6 1100t with 8GB of RAM and an HD 5870, and it was a huge performance leap. I expect I'll be able to run ME3 maxed out and be awestruck at either DX9 or DX11 (if they decide to do what they did with DA2). DA2 was also a game that straddled the upgrade, and I was able to run it just fine on the older hardware (had the 5870 at that time though).

I have
been going though defferent desktops trying to find one that can play
this game on max settings and i finally found one in my price range, so
will this desktop run the game on max settings????? 

Yes, its more than enough...

We already have one ME 3 System Requirements thread, this one.  Another isn't needed.

At the resolution i play at and dont plan to upgrade to a higher one unless im working and can afford a new pc, im...sort of confident of running me3. But opinions on it are always welcome.

So i use my older monitor now after playing on a 32" lcd, which is 15" 1024x768 which is fine for me and the limitedness of my pc, i use a E6500 with 4gb and a 5670 512mb, which runs everything high atleast in the present time which will hold me out until i can upgrade, how would this run me3 you think ? (Considering the 1024x768 resolution, and the witcher 2 running at 20-40fps on ultra, no ubersampling)

It seems that there are constant DUPES because no one wants to believe that they weren't the first person in the world to think of a particular question.

People keep creating duplicates of this same message thread.  This erronneous comment was in one of those:

My guess would be the minumum requirements are:

Pentium Core 2 duo (or equivalent)
1gb of Ram DDR2 or DDR3
at least 500mb graphics card.
- hard drive space obviously.

My pc specifications are:

Pentium i5 3.1hgz
8gb DDR3 RAM
1.5gb nvidia graphics card with 800mb nvidia dual graphics card performing PhysX.
-hard drve obviously.

On this spec I can achieve max graphics with flawless performance. I forsee ME3 being the same.

The amount of VRAM attached to a video graphics card is totally meaningless with regard to gaming performance.  The single, ONLY relationship it carries forward is final screen resolution choice. 

GPU Core Speed, GPU RAM Speed, GPU Memory System Bandwidth, and Count of Shader Processor are the aspects of graphics card specifications that have meaning when comparing performance.  

As anyone can see from this page at Newegg, there are tens of thousands of total garbage versions of cards out there with 512 MBs and upward that are useless for games: 

www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx

P. S.  I did a different search at Newegg, for cards with a full GB of VRAM, and there were seven G 210s and seven Geforce 8400 GSes on the top page, along with six Radeon HD 5450 cards.  None of those first 14 will "run" ME1, or ME2, and when we compare their very slow speed, I'd say that a 210 is CRAWLING on its belly, an 8400 is down on its hands and knees, while the HD 5450 is on crutches.  None will perform really well in the first two of these games, and I guarantee they'll not suddenly get better in ME3.

I wonder how I missed this.  Four years ago, a Mobility Radeon HD 3670 was, indeed, a gaming card.  The business version that year was the HD 3450:

Those are the desktop versions.  The desktop HD 3650 was quite a ways above the Radeon X1600, and should be still within close range of the expected ME-3 Minimum pass/nopass zone.

My computer is rated as a 5.1, so I think I should be good.

You mean on the Windows Experience Index? That rating doesn't mean anything.

if you're afraid that ur card cant run me3 at full details go for gtx460 1gb

[DiebytheSword]

I'm feeling pretty good with my Phenom II x6 and HD 5870 setup on win 7, I doubt I'll get pinched by ME3. BF3 maybe, but not ME3.
