Making mxs compatible for normal perfromance Computers

[barrington314]

if you want to play online gaming, its time to save your pennies and get the hardware necessary to do so. otherwise stick to the way out dated xbox and ps3.

[kona309]

turn down everything especially roost, that will do it.

By $700 I meant something that you build yourself... My bad for not pointing that out.

[BrutalMX]

It runs find for me on a 4 year old MBP.

Hell yeah! And people talk so much on macs... I can run 20 riders easily max settings with 512x512 on my '11 MBP.

I just built myself a 3.4GHz AMD beaaast for 550$. Tonight was my 1st time ever with 40 riders and it held up way better than I had expected!

Would this computer be good enough?
prosessor: AMD Athlon II X3 450 (Triple core: 3 x 3,2Ghz ) !!

RAM: 4GB DDR3 @ 670Mhz

Voeding: 850 Watt !!

Motherbord: M5A78L-M LE (AM3R2)

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT

Harde schrijf: 391GB Hitachi ( Hitachi HDP725040GLA360 ATA Device (SATA) )

[Ballsfalsky]

Try for a Phenom II x4 965BE processor, a Radeon HD 6870 (at least), and 8gb of Kingston hyperX ram. Build the PC yourself and you will understand how much better you can get your cumputer for a lot less money.

If youre going with an AMD processor, aren't you supposed to stick with ATI graphics cards? And don't listen to Ballsaksy, you dont NEED 8GB of RAM at first, you dont NEED a 6870. I'm rocking 4GB of RAM til' I can upgrade, with a Radeon HD 6850 and can run full settings 512x512 pretty much anywhere online, except for the 40 man gates.
If you'd like, I can give you the hardware I used for my computer, totaling to no more than 560$ on Newegg. It was a combo deal though so I did save some...

[Ballsfalsky]

I know you don't NEED, but its always nice to have a little bit of room for games like BF3. I run BF3 maxxed out @ 1920x1200 @ 50FPS. Thats EVERYTHING turned all the way up, with my catalyst settings forced to maximum. Heres my spec's:

Phenom II X4 965BE (CPU)
XFX 6870 (GPU)
8gb HyperX (I use 2 for a Ram-Disc for certain programs) (RAM)
Gigabyte GA990XA UD3 (Mobo)
Zalman Z9+ (Case)
2x Hitachi Deskstar 7k1000.C in RAID 0 (HDD)
LG optical drive (get the cheapest optical drive you can get, unless you want blueray)
Antec 750W (PSU)


With only 1 HDD, the build came to $7-- after shipping and tax... I bought a mouse, and a 2nd HDD so mine came to $926 Shipped.

a $700 computer with stock models in 02 with 40 people playing, with only stock models and I was getting 95-105FPS... Computers aren't SUPER expensive. A laptop that will barely run the game cost's around $500...

Yeah, only $500 to barely be able to play the game at the lowest quality.

[Ballsfalsky]

I said a laptop... desktop's obviously have a much better price:performance ratio.

[mxsisboss]

Yeah ive got a desktop thats like an office pc no proper gaming graphics card 3 gigs ram and i can play 25-30 riders on hangtown with minimal lag.

[mxsisboss]

and it was around 100-200 pounds which is 158-316 dollars.

[Motofinne #375]

just remember that the CPU doesn't matter. i upgraded from an E8500 3,16GhZ to the sandy bridge 2500k 3,3 Ghz and it did not help. Buy an GTX 560 Ti GPU that should be enough for this game.

[KTM57]

That's very wrong. This game is very CPU intensive. Since it only utilizes one core, you will NEED to have a good CPU for MXS.
