SC2 will need to be very scalable to reach the a huge audience like its predecessor did. The game will probably run on most single-core cpu setups (P4 and up) and I'd imagine maybe a GeForce FX series card or ATI 9xxx card will be the absolute bare minimum to get lowest possible settings with a playable framerate.

As for being able to decently max the game out, probably a first-gen dual core processor (S939 X2s or Pentium Ds) and an X1650PRO/7600GT or an X1950PRO or something.. that's what I'm guessing

From what I've seen, this game doesn't look too graphics-intensive at all. I think visually it might be equal to or less than Company of Heroes. World in Conflict is probably the most graphics-intensive RTS I've ever seen.

Don't take my word for it, have a look yourself: http://www.starcraft-2.info/img/screens/screen1.jpg

S939 X2s or Pentium Ds

^what are those?

[backup287]

^those are all different types of processors, dual core and single, basically anything decent will run stacraft 2 much like warcraft 3 and wow, the game requirements will be ridiculously low which is why blizzard is so smart

and merk company of heroes is like 5 times the graphics intensity of starcraft 2,starcraft 2 i believe is just a modified war3 engine

Yeah, I was just being conservative in my comparison to avoid offending anyone

to play decent settings I say get a E2160, HD3850 (or880GS or GT 256MB), 2GB RAM and whatever else.

[vernong1992]

they could get a 7900gs or x1950pro and it'd be fine

yeah but why not just go ahead with a 3850, only 50-80$ more
