Memory: 4 GB+

Very interesting.... 64bit?

[Mitt Wilson]

Alright Great Job its not to hard on the old computers!
3.0 Ghz Dual Core thats recommended now I can convince the wife to let me upgrade a little to run rF2!!

[Tim Wheatley]

With the minimum you'll certainly be viewing bare minimum, be warned.

The 64bit mention is because the software will use as much RAM as you can. 32bit can only use about 3.5GB or so.

[Genghis99]

Ready for my 8 GB RAM 3,2 Ghz Quad with GTX470. Awaiting best filtering and antialias performance.

[Uff]

Even with my old PC I can easily meet recommended specs: can't wait to see the game in action!

[E. Souza]

this C++ Runtimes require, looks like a good news to moders

[patryksok.]

Tim, one question - when open beta/demo? Soon = in time of month?

[GeraArg]

Thanks Tim!!!!

Also Tim, Are more then two cores better then just faster cores? ie (2core3.2ghz)Vs(4core3.0ghz)

[LesiU]

Thanks Tim! It looks very promising

[mclaren777]

I built a computer back in January almost exclusively rFactor 2. I think I overshot a little.

Intel 2600K
Nvidia GTX 460
8GB of RAM

Also Tim, Are more then two cores better then just faster cores? ie (2core3.2ghz)Vs(4core3.0ghz)

Pretty sure it will be optimised to use as much cores as possible. As 4 cores are almost the standard now I'll bet some good money that 4 cores at 3 GHz will be faster than 2 cores at 3.2 GHz.

[Lenniepen]

I only exceed minimum requirements barely (2.67 Ghz Core 2, 2GB-ram, 8800 GTS 312mb.
Assuming requirements get harder every year (like rF1 did)...I think I'll upgrade my pc.

When rFactor1 came out, the above pc could easily handle it, but right now, with Game Stock Car pushing the limits of rF1, it also hurts my pc on max settings.

[Mario Morais]

so I can say that the RF2 will have two versions 32bit and 64bit? if so this is really so good movement ISI!

Note: 2008 C++ Runtimes SP1 required (included with installer).

uu nice words Installer!

I hope recommended spec will work fine with full grid even with rainy weather

I hope recommended spec will work fine with full grid even with rainy weather

Exactly, so here we go, what's needed to run an online race with 50 insanely high poly cars on a raining night on a busy track at maximum graphic details, rocksolid 60fps, without a single frame drop neither at the start, and possibly zero lag and no disconnections?

[can`t wait 4 rF2]

RECOMMENDED:

CPU: 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or 3.0 GHz AMD Athlon II x2 or better
Memory: 4 GB+
Video Card: nVidia 250 GTS or ATI/AMD 4870 or better
Video Memory: 512MB+
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista 64bit, Windows 7 64bit
Storage: 4 GB+

Note: 2008 C++ Runtimes SP1 required (included with installer).

OK, recommended....but what are the system specs to use rF2 with highest grafik settings?

[Cris_Ace]

As usual,the more the better I think nobody can predict how a 40 cars high poly under rain would affect the game....Simply because we doesn't have any high-poly mod at the moment
Just a question: 4and 8 core will affect more the game than an improved graphic card or is it better to have one of the latest beasts on a "simple" core i7?

[simfan]

Nobody? What about ISI? You really think they never try run 40 cars on track?
