RTW performance on lower end machines

[Ragnarok]

I'm looking to buy RTW as I've heard enough to make me want to buy it.  My question is how it will perform on my P4 1.7G 756MB ram GF3Ti200.  I know there are whole armies to view and watch while zoomed in and am curious if anyone is having any stability problems?

My system is less than yours -- Athlon 1500, Gf3ti200, 512 RAM.  I'm running RTW at 1024x768, mostly medium settings I think -- still looks swell and runs smoothly.  I am using normal unit numbers, not huge.  I have on a couple of occasions gotten serious chop while using flaming arrows, but otherwise the game runs fine.  It's actually a bit chuggier in the campaign map than the tactical battles most of the time, but still ok.

Easily best game of the year for me; I'd highly recommend it with the rig you've got.

Get it!  You know you want to.

And, since I'm playing Devil's Advocate here, let me just add that I upgraded my rig recently and playing with larger unit settings is just flat-out amazing.  :twisted:

My system is very close to yours and I am running everything on highest settings and it runs as smooth as butter. Get it! Its great.

Thanks for the input.  I WILL get it.  Actually I already went to an EB here but for some ungodly reason they didn't have it.  But its coming, oh yes its coming!

At my parents home, I'm running it on a AMD thunderbird 1.2 Ghz, with 512 MB RAM and a GeForce2 MX! WHich is really below the minimum settings, and it runs! Yeah, low detail and all that, but it really amazed me, it's really playable.

EDIT: I have had an error though that makes the tactical map go completely black, like the textures couldn't load. A reboot fixed that...

Runs fine on a AMD 1 GHz Tbird with Ati 9500 pro

I have it for trade if you're interested...
