how are they high? The specs are even lower than what alot of games are coming with out today, let alone when SC2 comes out.

Seriously, if all you need to play is a Geforce 7 card, then you could even play with 5 year old GPUs (it won't though, because of lack of support of newer shaders and such)

My brother's 5 year old PC should be able to play it if it's true (gonna be 6 years old when SC2 is released, probably)


Read my full post before you respond to it please. The last sentence should tell how I feel about the system requirements. Blizzard is notorious for releasing games that can be played on anything made in the same decade. For them it is a little high, but the game will run well on minimum settings.

Dude, if those specs are real, you can even run SC2 on a 6 year old GPU if it came out TODAY! God, just look closely at the specs.

What GPU are you talking about? If the minimum specs are are a Geforce 7 card, then you can only run it on a GPU that isn't even 3 years old yet (June of 2005 for the first card in the 7 series). The minimum specs are way too high if you look at other graphic intensive RTSes of late and especially when you are dealing with Blizzard.


.... you need to do better research. Do you know how crappy the low-end Geforce 7 cards are? I mean, they're Integrated GPUs, and most Geforce 6 cards easily outrun them.

And ATI Radeon 9600/9800 series are 5 years old (2003) and quite better than the low-end Geforce 7 cards.

EDIT: Ok, so it's not 6 year olds ('only' 5), but it's still quite low. And knowing Blizzard, they will try to make itlook as good as possible.
