Landmark and EQN System Requirements (possibly)

[Oxillion]

Hey All,

I have been looking for this information for a few weeks but nothing from SOE has been released.  I did hop out to the Planetside 2 site to see what was needed to run that game due the same engine is used.   Assuming the game characteristics are going to be similar or close to PS2 here is what I pulled from that:

Minimum System Requirements

• OS - Windows XP
• Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 or higher / AMD Phenom II X2 or higher
• Memory - 4 GB RAM
• Hard Drive - 15 GB free
• Video Memory - 256 MB RAM
• Video Card - nVidia GeForce 8600 series or higher / AMD or ATI 4850 series or higher
• Sound Card - DirectX compatible

Recommended System

• OS - Windows 7
• Processor - Intel i5 processor or higher / AMD Phenom II X6 or higher
• Memory - 8 GB RAM
• Hard Drive - 15 GB free
• Video Memory - 1,024 MB RAM
• Video Card - nVidia GeForce GTX 560 series or higher / AMD HD 6870 or higher
• Sound Card - DirectX compatible

Here is my HP Quad Core Edition and I have played everything on this.   Now with laptop comes the heating situations but I run a under case thermal fan setup from Thermaltake.  This helps keep the laptop cooler.  

Processor : Intel Core i7 3820QM @ 2700 MHz
Physical Memory : 8192  MB (2 x 4096 DDR3-SDRAM )
Video Card : Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000(Onboard)
Secondary Video nVidia GeForce GT 650M 2048MB

I bought this for GW2 and it ran it fine.  The kicker for that game is it was a fully CPU centric game.   Meaning more is thrown at your CPU than your GPU or video card.  To be honest I did not like that about the game.  It got my laptop hot.  Really hot or close to system or core failure.   I had to watch that until they scaled back the video options.  

With Landmark coming out fast and SOE has not put out the SR's is a bit confusing but I have seen this before.  My hope is a lot of folks won't have to go out and upgrade to play.  SOE has been good about that in the past but this newer software can trash machines.  I have seen that first hand in LAN parties with GW2. 

Anyway,  Here is my guess and I will update this as information comes out.   This is really important or at least I think so.

Looks like they are starting to push into the next generation of gaming. A lot of recent games have been trying to support older systems in hopes of getting more people to play their game. The recent Final Fantasy re-release has been pretty hard on on my friends PC which was considered a gaming rig for Rift. My current system doesn't even match its minimum requirements.

WoWs revamped graphics in the Cataclysm expansion had required me to run it at lower settings then I used to.

Darn progress!

Well if I decide to play EQN at least now I know for sure its time to upgrade. Thanks for the info!

Really hope their not serious about the 10mb internet.. will not happen here in any reasonable time.. we pay for 3mb and are lucky to get 1mb.. the woes of a country life! On the plus we don't have to lock our doors and the schools are good.. small price for safe kids!

Whatever happened to 56K or high internet speeds required?

[Dumacles]

I think that went the way of clay tablets and reed stylis'..........

I was thinking more like smoke signals.

Well damn, I guess I'll have to get rid of my 300 Baud modem and my Atari 1200XL computer then.
