GH3 Pc version - lag issues?

[Mr_All3n]

HI, I was jsut wondering if anyone has the Guitar Hero 3 for PC and if it was laggy or anything. Because it seems alot cheaper than the other GH3's and are there any other specail features on the PC version thats not on the others?

[wolferacing]

pc is not out yet.

[tibiazak]

it comes out on the 23rd (as i recall) and it's going to take a heck of a computer to run. can you run crysis? no? well then, no GH3 PC for you.

and i'm not kidding, the system specs are almost exactly the same as crysis.

ah. my bad, thanks for the correction. <continues praying for a demo>

you need 2 gig. of RAM. Its cheaper to just buy a ps2 if you dont already have one.

It's, what, ten bucks cheaper than the Wii version? We get a wired guitar. That's why its cheaper.

actually, that's only for vista.

If you bought a computer within the past one or two years you should be able to run it.

correction: if you bought a mid to high-end computer in the last year, you should be able to run it. a $499 desktop from Walmart ain't gonna cut it.

That's pretty steep right there. I just spent 350$ on my Graphics card and it barely makes it into the recommended specs. I have an 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 card. 0.o

Talk about terrible optimization. Piece of ****.

I agree. They're gonna miss a ****load of the PC market with specs of that degree. I mean how many of you guys spent 300$ on your graphics card alone?

1 good aspect of it would be that it'll give FoF a boost in popularity because of all the people who bought GH3 and couldn't run it.
