Medieval Total War 2 specs

Bluewolf · Post by **Bluewolf** » 2008-07-30 02:24pm

With my new laptop and getting RTW bundled with it as well as a anti virus I wanted to know if my comps specs will work for MTW:2 and also some questions on it.

The specs are: AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 (2 CPU's) 2.0GHz

2GB RAM

200 GB HD Space

DirectX 10 (I have Vista)

ATI Radeon X1250-831 MB.

I know the minimal specs for the game but was curious on whether mine would run it smoothly enough.

What does the game improve on over RTW? Besides the setting and a graphics update does it do anything better that RTW was lacking on? Is it still as fun as RTW? Also, what are the games downsides?

This handy site will examine your pc's configuration and tell you if it's up to snuff for running any of the games on its list. The Total War series are on there.

The Radeon X1250 is pretty weak (and the "831MB" part means that its using normal system RAM for GPU purposes, which is slow). It is not a DirectX 10 GPU, either.

I would keep it at the low specs if you want smooth performance.

No need.

I run Medieval 2 with a machine on medium details, huge unit sizes and I have half his RAM. The rest is pretty much the same, except that I I have a Geforce 7600 and a Dual Core (2x1.60 Ghz).
