What kind of computer set up will we need to handel SOW?

im guessing not much more than what people are already running IL2 on. SOW is a completely new engine...should be a lot more efficient than IL2 while yielding a lot better graphics.

Well its more efficient but it still uses quite a bit more power then IL2.

For instance if you can barely run IL2 on perfect settings you might be able to play SOW only lower settings.

They wouldn't make an engine that uses similar power to IL2 because it was made for way older PCs, this is a major installment to the series after all.

True, but the problem with the Il2 engine is not that current PCs can't provide enough power, the issue is that the Il2 engine is only using a small proportion on the CPU power available to it, and only a couple of percentage points of what the GPU of a modern graphics card can offer. To make things worse the Il2 engine is not designed for multi-core proccessors, so a lot of the advances made in computing since its release are completely wasted on Il2.

Personally I'm not expecting SoW to need anything extravagant to run it, because Oleg's team is apparently using 2GB RAM Dual Core PCs with 512mb graphics cards to run SoW, so anyone with a more powerful PC than that shouldn't run into any problems come September.

Yes but at what settings. :roll:
