  • required specs?

    Does anyone know what the required specs for Civ IV are? Any guesses?

  • #2
    So far nothing official.

    Try this one (for some educated guesses ):
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

      Hum, I just recently fried my graphic card... I doubt my spare R9200 can handle CIV...
      I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"

        It should.
        I recently broke my 9800Pro, my back up is a Geforce1.

          Be a man, sell that 9800 and get a Nvidia card.

            i'm going on the assumption that CIV has the same requirements as Pirates, and my R9200 can run Pirates just nicely.

            but i'm probably gonna be upgrading for AoEIII anyways.

              I've been looking to get GF6600, or 6800LE... But the only 3D intensive game I play is Silent Storm... TBS, who would think it would require so much HP? Though, it runs well on the R9200, aswell, with bare minimum settings.

              I think I can spend my money more wisely... 1G extra memory would be nice.

                What are you guys doing with them. What can brake or fry the card?

                  This time I really don't know what happened, wasn't overclocked and heavily cooled.

                  While starting something, the screen went black (stand-by) and that was it.
                  It "feels" as if it lost it's bios (if that even is possible, I have no idea).

                    I hope I can run the game. I only have 512 megs of ram right now. A Radeon 9600 XT video card.

                    I can run games like world of warcraft. And Everquest 2 (barely- actually the problem there is the damn programmers- the game runs perfectly for a while, but each time I enter a new area it slows down).

                      If you're concerned about a 9600xt running Civ4, then you really need something else to worry about. Pirates will run (it's not fantastic, but it works) with a GeForce2. I can't imagine Civ4 will be much worse

                        How do you break a graphic card?
                        I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                            I don't think you'll have a problem running the game with a 9200. It won't be the best, but it will be passable.

                            Hey, I just upgraded to 3GB of ddr2, is that enough?
