• GeForce 8500GT 1GB Dedicated
• Intel P4 3.06GHz single core - dxdiag tells me its dual core while systemrequirementslab tells me single core
• 160GB HDD
• 2GB RAM DDR2
• Windows XP SP3 with DirectX9.0c

Can I run the game with decent~acceptable graphics? If so, would someone kindly show me a screenshot of how it may look in-game.

If these specs are not enough, what should I upgrade?

You can run it, but it won't be smooth or pretty. The machine is actually quite consistent in its quality -- you would need to upgrade both the graphics card and the CPU which means a new motherboard so, realistically, you're looking at a new computer.

Hahaha, this IS my new computer and your saying I have to get a new one? My luck is pretty rotten.



For the graphic card, I suppose anything above 8600GT should suffice? As for the CPU, a core duo 2.0GHz or higher?

Here are my specs:



GeFore G210, 512MB dedicated



Intel 2.33ghz quad core processor



(Harddrive space doesn't matter)



6GB RAM



Windows Vista





I can run the game very smoothly on Low graphics quality with V-Sync and High texture quality, no antialiasing or anything else though.



It gets a TAD bit (only a TAD) laggy at medium graphics quality, and it lags some in areas with a lot of particle effects.



I don't really know how to compare system specs but I hope this helps you some, good luck, DA:O is a great game, even if you have to play at low everything.

It should run smoothly.

Even on medium settings..



And if not, then you can always force it to lowest graphics without shadows, then it should run smoothly, graphics arent all that great in this game anyways.

you are looking at 8800GT minimum and the core duo 2.0ghz is the absolute minimum for smooth gameplay. Also you should get another 1gb of ram. That's if you want it to run smoothly as you asked. It's not going to give you hi end gaming.

Having said that the 8800GT is old so you need to be looking at the 9xxx or 200 series gpu cards.

You say your PC is new? Did you buy it second hand? It's 4 or 5 years old.

Yeah, honestly my computer's better and it's 6 months old.

AFAIK, no one has assembled a new PC, from any brand named company, with a P4 in it, for three years now, so it would have had to have been a special order of some sort to end up with both a CPU that was obsolete six or seven years ago, and a video card last produced as new, two and a half years ago or so. 

Unless, of course, you intended to use the term "newer" where you wrote "new", saying you have more than one, and both are at least as old. 

The next version of the 8500 GT was the 9400 GT, and it was replaced by the G210.  None of the three were ever considered to be gaming-capable for the current games of their respective production periods. 

The 8600 GT was last produced longer ago than two years back, when it was renamed to become the 9500 GT, and that was replaced more recently (I think, not sure, as I can't get a memory handle on the Geforces below the 230) but I think that there is a 220 GT of about the 8600 GT's comparative performance level.  But you are in the ballpark for the CPU, and I would have to say that the equivalent of an 8600 GT hads to be limited to no higher of a screen resolution than 1280 by 1024, or the equivalent pixel count on a wide screen display.

Man, I'm running a P4 3.2 GHz machine with 2 GB of RAM and an nVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT and DAO works just fine for me.

[Gorath Alpha]

The PCIe version of the 7900 GT is a more advanced card in some ways (see the "n900" in the name?) than an 8600 GT. nVIDIA was two years behind ATI when shaders became important, and the 8600 does have better shader capability than the 7900s, but it is slower, so comparing the two is quite difficult. Also, you named no screen resolution, and that is an EXTREMELY important part of the equation.

In other words, it is entirely possible that your contributio may not have been a helpful one, sorry.

I'm running it at 1024x768.
