Probably just about time for me to upgrade, though if those are the specs I'd be able to run it, just not maxed out.

Thu Oct 02, 2008 10:23 am

Oh man.. I think I am gonna have to stick with Live 08, still not sure if I will upgrade my PC just for the game.. :cry:

Thu Oct 02, 2008 10:25 am

Holy shit, my computer might actually be able to run that! (very poorly)

Thu Oct 02, 2008 10:31 am

Yeah, next gen would, but this is current gen luckily.
video: mobile intel 965 express chipset family

what do you think guys?

No.
I PASS EVERYTHING except 2.4ghz (i have 2.15ghz) , BUT I can play 2.8ghz Spiderman 3 and thats more required for the PC so i'm good to go

A 2.15Ghz Core2Duo > 2.4/2.8Ghz P4.

Thu Oct 02, 2008 12:16 pm

would a Intel Core 2CPU 6400 be okay with this game?

Thu Oct 02, 2008 12:28 pm

What's your graphic card?

BioShock has similar system requirement listings, so go here:

And test "BioShock" (or download the demo and try it.)

Why do you keep doing this after my posts? Do you have some sort of problem with me providing information?

Thu Oct 02, 2008 1:18 pm

Hard Drive: 10.5 GB or more free space


You kidding? :o

Looks like I can run it, but I'll need a new graphics card to run it at higher settings. My 7900 might run at medium. Anyone think a single 8800 GT could do the job?

Thu Oct 02, 2008 2:17 pm

A single 8800GT would be more than enough.

I think I would be able to run it smoothly on medium settings if that is the MINIMUM req. Ouh dear.. I need an upgrade

Thu Oct 02, 2008 3:42 pm

guys, why do u think that 2k9 would demand more or same as crysis? crysis has more detailed and dynamic objects that nba simulator! and if the game runs on max with lags, i'm sure - turn off the crowd animation and the game gonna run as hell!

Thu Oct 02, 2008 4:44 pm

When you guys get the game just play around with the Graphics settings to see if you can play low, medium, high, resoultion, brightness, etc. :D

I highly doubt it will demand more than CRYSIS, due to the shading and lightning this game had w/c really affect the performance, also it depend on wht direct x version u will gonna use , D10 or D9

In my opnion crisys belongs to top 3 having the most demanding system requirements as of present games with the exception of not yet realesed games like FARCY 2, FALL out 3, BROTHER in ARMS, and GTA IV

but that does't really matter to me :lol: HAHAHA I cun ran this game HD :D 8-)

man it seems the requirements is silmilar to FIFA 09 and the memory requirement is too low, what do u think guys??

and another good news :D PES 2009 DEMO is out wowwww :lol:

Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:10 pm

i'll be fine with those specs...

but one thing concern me,did my graphic card got that shader 3.0

by the way,my graphic card is ASUS EAX550HM512 hyper memory with graphics by ATI,whaddaya think guys?

and one thing surprise me for sure...they only need 512?? are you kidding me?? =))

Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:23 pm

@kusoqaki

sorry bro but that graphic card of yours does not meet the minimum requirements cuz that card can only handle shader 2.0

Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:27 pm

dang...

but it's smartshader or something like that

maybe it's better then?

that's what i'm talkin' 'bout! that requirements are realistic!

Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:49 pm

@kusoqaki

i dont know bro but if it does work there is a high possibility that it will not look good :|

Fri Oct 03, 2008 12:07 am

Hey do you guys know if there is a similar feature to Live's NBA 365 in 2K9?

Fri Oct 03, 2008 12:11 am

@PC a.k.a Kris

heck,i even think it doesn't sound good...since i can't see it now =))

nah...better ugly than nothing,smartshaderass 2.0 have something that shader 3.0 got.

and for your information,my user id don't have Q on it,it's G,so it's not kusoqaki,it's kusogaki =))
