Hardware & Technical Horizons PC build.

[Nick87]

My modest rig currently consists of a Phenom II X4 965 (stock clock), the MSI HD 7850 (1GB version), and just 4 gigs of RAM that gets me through the game (still running the 32bit client) in medium to high settings. Can it manage Horizons at all with everything lowered down ? I'm aware of course that textures will look more like a melting ice sculpture rather than solid rock surface, but that's a different story.

I'm going to upgrade to Win 7 64bit soon, have 8 gigs of RAM and throw in a Sapphire R7 370 4GB.

You won't be able to run it until you upgrade to 64bit OS. But I'd say you'll be able to run it better than my laptop. At a guess, I'd say a little better than low settings too.

Yes, I was solely referring to my current system and whether or not it's able to run it in the 64bit environment, before going through with any hardware upgrades. Should have clarified that better, sorry.

So, according to you it does stand a a chance (Woot - I get to play right after the format ). Does that mean that post upgrade I'm good for medium settings and hopefully more than 20 fps on the ground ?
