Now To Buy The Rig

[Mrjupp]

Just paid for the final game and the lifetime expansion pack. Not doing the testing as haven't a decent enough rig.

Saving hard and should have it by the time the game gets released.

So all you testers keep on finding the bugs because this game looks superb. I've always been an Elite fan and I'm really looking forward to playing the completed game.

What you planning on getting?

 

[Pomerlaw]

From what I hear, you don't need a monster to run this game.

unless he wants to display all out to 4k monitor

Ill upgrade to a 980 whenever the Oculus drops.

 

[Darth Sidious]

I would build a rig around an nvidea 880
Because of oculus rift.
Release of that card is expected in september....

 

[NoirWolf]

880? Why not R9 295 X2 ?

I may also look to have a HDMI port fitted so I can run it in conjunction with an Ultra HD LED TV (one of those wrap around curved ones).

 

[Commander Deth]

Yikes. I'm not sure if that's enough to run the game...

Kidding, overkill HDMI port is built into that video card, looks good, ready to roll.

Oops so it is
