Will my Computer be able to run SC2?

**hellsing293** · 03-11-2008, 03:08 AM

I'm surprisingly interested in SC2, I've never played any Blizzard game besides Diablo II, and I was just wondering if my computer could handle the specific requirements of SC2 as well as play it without *much* lag. I'm not sure exactly how to find out what graphics card I have but I know it's ancient.

If somebody could help tell me how to find out what kind of graphics card it would be much appreciated. I have windows XP with all of the updates, high-speed internet (ussually 50-100mbs), and 512RAM. Can somebody tell me what else I will have to consider if I'm going to buy SC2 when it eventually comes out.

Well the Graphics are alike with WarCraft3 if you can handle that im sure you will be fine with SC2

I've never played WC3. Could you tell me how to locate what graphics card I have and I'll post it to see if anyone knows if it will be good enough?

I'd imagine it would be along the lines of this for min requirements, although blizz havent officially released it.

Processor: 1.4 Ghz Processor
Memory: 512 MB RAM
Graphics card: 128 MB RAM video card capable of Hardware TnL. DX10 is not required, but will be supported by SC2 and Blizzard are considering adding DX10 specific effects.
Pixel Shader 2.0 (Officially Confirmed)
OS: Windows Wista, Windows XP or Mac OS. (Officially Confirmed)
