Yes.  AH3 will not be out for 5 years yet and you will upgrade your computer by then  :D


Of course the real answer is going to be yes and no - with a lot of gibberish that you will not understand.   :O

My opinion is:  It is likely you will be able to run it by turning down a lot of the settings.  BUT - your system is pretty / very low end.  Consider upgrading if you can just to take advantage of the other beautiful stuff available for modern computers.

The only required hardware spec change that HTC have published for AH3 so far is the need for a video card that supports at least Shader Model 3.0. As far as I can tell from Googling it your video card supports up to Shader Model 4 so you should be OK to run AH3. However what sort of performance you'll get no one can tell you at this point. HTC won't say anything until they have the game closer to being finished and they can test it on a range of systems.

It isn't necessarily the case you'll get worse FPS than now. The extra eye candy and effects may be balanced by a more efficient graphics engine design. Also some work that was done by the main processor in AH2 will be now done by previously unused parts of the graphics card. There will be an open beta, so you will be able to see how you stand before the game goes live.

The folks without graphics cards might be the hardest hit?

Which is my primary worry...  :bhead

Can you even play the current one with that? The new one won't most likely be less demanding.
Quote from: BaldEagl, applies to myself, too
I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

Aha, well i mean i dont use any graphics whatsoever at this point, i am quite basic but i run at a steady 64 fps. On bomb runs I may up the graphics at a price, but its worth it. As long as i can still fight, thats what im happy with. Thanks  guys! <S>

We are going to be moving the minimum video RAM requirement to 512MB, dedicated.  Yours only has 256.  It might run the new version, but it will be a slide show.

and with
Skuzzy's post I have more than a handful of 512 MB DDR2 & DDR 3 VC's and some 1 GB DDR 3 as well as DDR 5  GB video cards I am willing to get rid of only for the simple cost of postage/handling.......... I was donated most of these cards , and I will not make money off of this community, I am here to share and give to the people who need it mostly..........


AMD and Nvidia available

just shoot me a PM, first come first served...........

"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

really needs to see if the OP has the power supply to power any add on by way of memory.  You might have the slots but if you don't have the juice what does it matter.?
