System Specs Question

[Richard III]

I really want to get this Sim, ( as an old Harpoon Gamer and just IMHO it is a great deal at the price ) but I`m concerned that my 2+ year old system can run it with no disappointments.

My system Specs:

It`s pretty bare bones setup, with few installed programs.

I`m just looking for informed opinions, but what can I expect for the larger scenarios as far as refresh rate, scrolling, battles, combat reports, and general game playability, etc. ?

I don't think you will have any issues. I don't see a video card but I don't use my NVidia I use my Intel card. I will let experts chime in but I think you have plenty of horses.

Crap I missed it and looked twice. I think you will be fine.

I'm guessing that this game is much more CPU than GPU intensive, would that be true?

I would say so for sure. I can run it without my GPU and just my internal Intel....either the Intel chips are getting better or the sim doesn't need it.

How do you run it without your gpu?

He just uses the integrated HD4000 graphics chip of his Ivy-Bridge CPU. Very workable solution for a cool & quiet system if one doesn't need high raw GPU horsepower.
