Clearly everybody has their own definition of average. You were wrong about the cores, RAM and HDDs btw. 3gb of vidmemory is pretty average. Unless you buy a laptop with a completely crappy onboard, but why would you do that when you know for a fact that you are gonna game with it. Better to save up on ram, CPU and harddrive then GPU, dont you agree?

What the hell? 2GB graphics are usually considered high end man. Laptop with 3GB GPU is usually going to cost around 1000+ dollars. If that is average for you, you have pretty high standarts.

No I would definitelly not agree.

CPU and GPU are the muscles of your pc. They are the ones that make everything look nice and go smoother.

BTW more than 8GB of ram is not going to do shit, and only moron would spend more money for RAM than gpu.

I have a 3 year old pc which was a game pc on a tight budget when I bought it and I have been playing 5 vs 5's no problem whatsoever. If you have anything that below 5 years old that was intended to be able to run video games at some point, you should be fine. Poor performance probably depends more on CPU than GPU anyway, thats the price you pay for having a game in which every shot fired is an actual physics based projectile instead of just an animation like in gay RTS games like Starcraft.

Starcraft 2 is horribly overrated. Like seriously, I dont get people who say it is best RTS ever. It is Halo of RTS gaming.

My average is based upon what ive seen people have around me. And they are not rich, not even close. And 2GB? High end? Lolwut? And no it doesnt cost 1000+ dollars if the other specs are average or even below, which they are.

I admit I fucked up here. My engrish is not so good atm. I ment to say get shittier CPU, harddrive and ram but get better GPU.

SupCom is largely CPU-bound. If you have only 1 PC that struggles, it will reduce the speed of the whole game. Also, it's better without AI, and can be really bad with AI on some maps.

All that said it ran pretty well with 12 players, 6 vs. 6. A bit slow, but stable.

AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 PCIe - Suggested retail price: $1,112
NVIDIA Quatro K4000 - $1,249.00

512-1024 MB of video memory is currently considered average, with 2gb being high end, and 3gb being super-uber-awesome graphics.

There are few specimen of 4gb GPUs, but overall, 4gb CPUs are considered experimental and not ready for wide public distribution, due to the fact that they cost a fuckin fortune.

I get the horrible feeling, that you mistake video memory for operating memory, also known as RAM, in which case 4gb is considered average.

Oh ok, no prob.

However my priority would go like this (excluding motherboard)

GPU>CPU>HDD>RAM

RAM is not really that important. practically any 4-8 gb stick will do.

Yeah why I said on release, nowadays any decent pc can run it fine (but you seriously need Chuck Norris of a pc to play 6 vs 6 with no fog ).

I think i have the CDs somewhere on the shelf... I would totally rip your asses apart in pvp! I often resort to all-in sneaky plans, involving moving-shield units, radar jammers, assault bots in mass, combined with a vicious frontal strike to divert attention

Not sure how to cope with the middle aged woman and the large fish on a blanket, but if you, or anyone else, wants to play some games we definitely should. Just search Teeth on Steam and add me.

You would stand no chance against my ghetto gunship spam.

[zagibu]

Meh, Gunship spam. I always have interceptors, lots of them.

[Piok]

Spring NOTA is nice free alternative. In my opinion even better and more epic then SC.
If you can go over worser graphic. But it is TA.

Looks interesting actually, especially since i dont know where my damn SC CDs are... Will definitely have a look at it, when back from work.

Where is the forged alliance sub-title?

[Garond_PL]

1st technology bomber spam is better imo ;]

I dont think so.

My first instinct at the start of the game is to build up air and land defense. T1 bombers get ripped to shreds by flak cannons pretty easily.

T3 UEF gunships have shields, so they can easily hit and run, while also having on-board weapons. One of best non experimental unit in my opinion.

They take long as hell to prepare though.

Oh and I like mech marines

Just fiddle with setting a bit.
Also some custom made AI are better then Default.
