Worried

[FOGOLD]

I love the game but here in UK I'll be lucky if there arte ever more than 3 people playing the damn thing. Why is nobody playing? I actually have the same problem in AHII. Axis Vs Allies is where I want to play but there's never anyone there.

lots of players online repeating rumors that 1/2 their squad's computer wont be able to play ah3.  all bs.

Exactly!! Its a bit better worded but that's what I was getting at. I have great game play in the BETA. Looking for information about not getting perfect FPS. It still works great for me with less than 59 FPS. I have even heard the "it will melt my card" or it gets hot. This is a graphics card driven engine,well if I am understanding it correctly. We need to let it be known that close really is pretty dang good!

Off peak hours are very quiet this year.

Every aspect of Aces High 3 just eats the competition whole. AH3 really is the better game. Every aspect has improved and there are new forms of gameplay than ever before. Will the numbers rebuild? I don't know, but I suspect it is not the game that has caused numbers to decline. The world economy sucks right now, so be happy with what we have and work on making things better. All you can do.

And I play in AH which is important to the success of AH

I have a Dell computer that is over a year old and cost about $500 new (an i5-2400 CPU) and a GeForce GTX 750 Ti (which is currently about a $130 graphics card).

That is *not* a high-end system.  It is a low-end system.

No, it's not a low end system. It's a serious midrange gamer.

Computers like this shouldn't carry the attribute "gamer" not to mention "gamer ultra": http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229362. People who don't know about computers will buy them believing they could play games like AH3 and then they whine in disappointment because of their one digit frame rates.

At relatively low player numbers overall, players tend to congregate even more in the arena where it is most likely to find other players. The old "when nobody is there, nobody goes there" problem.

With my graphics card (D 6850) having died recently, I'm actually trying to *upgrade* to something like a 750 TI. And I still have an I3 2120. *This* is more like being a low end system these days (with actually quite a number of gamers having still worse setups).

Actually, I was wrong -- the current price of a 750 Ti card is $105 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500349&cm_re=750_ti-_-14-500-349-_-Product ).  So my whole system right now is about $500, graphics card included.

For $105, my guess is that your system will do fine on AH3.

[Bizman]

I second that. The i3-2120 is better than my E8500 and I don't plan upgrading. Also the 750 Ti is better than my HD 6970 so you should have no major issues playing AH3 with that combination. A good buy for €106 or so.

Wanna talk low end...

Athlon II @ 1.8 Ghz w/ 1GB system RAM and a 1GB Raedon GPU. Still getting 60fps in AHII. Less than 10 in AHIII.

I got my $$ worth so I'm due an upgrade. It's all good.

My new rig ships today
