1- i love the map editor been in the beta that would be a huge test opportunity for all, moders player and Blizzard

2-i dont like that they have set the system requerment a little bit too high just for medium!

Dual Core
2GB RAM
9800 GT 512+

just for medium setting when they said they are using pixel shader 2.0? are we crazy or what?

personaly i really dont care i have

Quad Core 3.0Ghz
4Gb ram 1066
Radeon 4850 Overcloacked 512 i could play in maximum easy but i thought Blizzard was gona have system Requrnts like those

Dual Core 2GHZ
1GB Ram
9600 GT 512+

maybe its just for the beta right now the system specs a little high i hope they will lower them just so with those told you could play in Maximum setting in resolution 1280x1024 or 1440x800, that would be the best. on the other hand those hardware are very chip in our days especially if you buy AMD Phenom 2 x4 and Radeon 4850 those are killing compination!

god damn i should only play w/ medium grafic and i just buy this comp 5000$ last year, they make is so high this is not blizzard like

My PC is failure. Big le sigh on this one.

OMG my PC will not works at all with this specifications, i need a new one...

Nice infos, including a ladder in the beta is nice from them. We will be able to view high-level replays easily =P.

But still!!
MapEditor in the beta(if it will be in beta) will be just... pure awesomeness!

System requeriments are very very high imo, my laptop has almost 3 years i hope it will run with minimun graphs. but i doubt it, due to my low graphic card (GF go7300) but in RAM i have 2Gb and its a dual core also. So i will keep my hope until the end.

I seems unlikely to me that they would have the map-editor in the beta, at least in the early batches. As for system specs, I should be in the clear.

Windows Vista™ Home Premium (6.0, Build 6001) Service Pack 1
nForce 750i SLI
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
4094MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
238.5 GB
Digital Output Device (HDMI) (High Definition Audio Device)

So I am screwed then? Since my Comp doesn't meet the required specs?

CPU Speed (GHz): 1.886
System memory (GB): 1.999
Graphics card model: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT Graphics card driver: nv4_disp.dll
Desktop resolution: 1280x720
Hard disk size (GB): 232.876
Hard disk free space (GB): 171.656

So I hace no shot at the beta correct? So does anyone want to shed light on this for me?

They haven't announced official minimum or recommended specs, (the quote in the article specifically says that's for medium) and they'll probably want plenty of participants around the minimum to check just what the requirements ought to be for the final release. So I'd say you've still got a shot at it.
To be honest, the numbers they quoted really don't seem right, not even for a beta. Maybe there was some error in translation or the Blizz rep slipped up and those are really the stats for running it on high.

Don't be sad, my superclocked 8800 GT should be more than enough to play on medium-high settings. In any case it's better than the 9800GT, and if I ever want more power I could just get a second one in SLI.

SLi wont give you too much power, SLi it's mostly used when GPU needs to process high quantity of memory, not quality

I'm sad for myself to. I have to agree with Tiger though. I think those specs are quite high for the medium line for the graphics. I hope there was an error in that because if thats the minimuim, then you'll need a modern day 300 dollar graphics card to play on highest setting and thats only a MAYBE.

I'll be getting a graphics card soon. I just need to figure out which one is the best. Right now I am leaning towards an nvidia 285. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Yeah that's what I meant. It will run faster on the same settings.

EDIT: BTW here's a link to a good site for ratings of graphics cards, processors etc., in case anyone's interested:

How do you check your system specs? Lol im not the greatest with checking those things.

a easy way in windows is:

1. click in START..
2. click execute..
3. put "dxdiag" an press accept..

Note: if you have directX install off course....

In English it's Run. Or you can press Window key+R to open the Run menu.
Or you can do the Beta Profile thing and then view it in your b.net 2.0 account online.

Enough Info? is it ok?

system req, has got to be wrong, any one who knows a little about GPU can realize that

Update: Blizzard has informed us that map editor in beta and system specs are 100% speculation at this point, nothing official.

The bold text is hurting my eyes!

Someone who is good with comp specs please check mine up at top of page 2 and see if they will work. It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sounds great, from what I am reading. But it looks like it's time for me to go computer shopping. I got three computers in my house and none of them will support these requirements.

I just found out my pc has what they got for the high tech testers!! sweet... to bad my b. net account wont let me confirm my email so i can sign up for beta and put sc into my games.

Ahh dude, what kinda computer do you have?

LoVeRBoy[E] wrote:Ahh dude, what kinda computer do you have?

Idk but my parents had it custom built and its pretty extreme. Like my dad looked at the specs for the high beta testers and he said we have that so im happy and my graphics card is good.

I live in the ghetto so I'm poor, and rarely get new computers. But I am trying to get one of these computers. Maybe for for my b-day or Christmas. Ya feel meh dawg?!

AHAH dont say dawg... Ik you live in the ghetto but your not gangster cuz lets face it you player sc and you have a Asian show as your pic ahah

Ahh crap, my cover's blown. But I do listen to rap and dress thugged out. If you get a report card with all E/F's on it take it back to your teacher and tell her to throw some D's on that shit.
