Note everything's pretty much "at this time," and could change - but that's expected CYA statements.

After demoing the Ultra-mode at HeroCon, one of the most frequently asked questions we have been receiving is “what are the video cards you recommend to get the most out of Ultra-mode?” With the holiday season coming up, we asked the programmers in charge of implementing the features of Ultra-mode what they would recommend. We would like to forward this information on to you so you can better work on your holiday shopping lists. If you are looking to spend under US$100, then an NVidia 9800 GT is your best bet. For AMD (ATI/Radeon), we don’t have enough of these cards at this price point to get you good data. This would be the minimum card for enabling all the features, only at reduced quality settings. If you are looking to spend between $100 and $200, the Radeon HD 4890 and GeForce GTX 260 will do you well. We don’t have numbers from the Radeon 57xx series yet to verify if that is better or worse though. This would end up somewhere in the middle of Ultra-mode quality. Finally if you are going to spend over $200, the GeForce GTX 285 is an excellent choice. We don’t have numbers from the Radeon 58xx series yet. This would be able to run Ultra-mode with the quality maxed out (except we have no data on Anti-aliasing, so caveat emptor when it comes to that specific feature). Note: This is based on our current internal testing and might change by the time Going Rogue is released. Also, a video card is not the ONLY thing you should take into consideration. Your PC having a decent processor and memory will also enhance your performance. As we continue to test and get more information available we will update you. I hope this helps, and happy holidays! |
and if it is, feel free to lock it Mod08, but I couldn't find the info I seek, though I admit my search-fu is weak.
I haven't been on the forums in a while, and I heard through a friend that there was a theoretical minimum specs posted for GRs Ultra mode.
I mention this because I'm in the market for a new desktop, and I want to get something that will run Ultra mode without too much issue. If I have a list of stats at hand, life will be a bit easier for me.
Again, if this has been asked a billion times, I am sorry, but I've gotten good answers before, and hope to get another now.
Oh, also, in before discussion of mammals (yeah, I searched first).
