*DAMN R6 Forum

Where can i find the minimum system requirments, how much it is, and other stuff about raven shield for Mac.  I tend to spend money rapidly and so i would like to know how much it is and if my comp can even run it.  Thx for your help.

min req. for the pc are 600mhz with a 3D accelaration card. No idea what the Mac req. will be, and those spec's probably wont be released for some time...(http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/wallbash.gif)

i've heard of tough performance on even 1.5ghz pcs.
It might run on a computer at the min requirement, but it will look like shit. Hopefully rvs will come out after i buy my G5.

You think it will run good if i just like delete everything possible, and do as much as i can?  I got a G4 733MHz.  I hope thats good enough.  I wont be getting a G5 anytime soon so it will have to do.

any of the g5 will be enough.

The 1gig G4 should run it in decent speeds too. I hope so! PC some PC systems also run with 1gig in low res. but smoth

my 64mbTNT2 isn't supported by rvs :*(

For Mac probably 800mhz,32mb video card and 256mb ram

The req's will be less than that of the pc. The pc minimum req will be the mac recommended. Just look at the pc req's for rs and compare that way.
And you can find all the info you want at   www.raven-shield.com

but the minimum req. for PC worked better then the the minimun for mac.

So if u want to play it in descent speed u will need more then 700Mhz G4 - U will also need a highend GFX.

But we will all see. if it comes out  ???

Anyone know some official link of the mac release?
all i heard is rumors "within a month" "after a 6months"

...but no link what so ever, nothing to back anything up at all

is there even gona be a mac release?

Eventually we will see it. But as Mauti has stated before we need to wait for the pc expansion pack to be released, that's when they usually port the mac version..ie: Rainbow Six:Eagle Watch, Rogue Spear:Urban Ops, Raven Shield:Athena Sword. The expansion is set to be released this fall, Mauti thinks we will see the demo in November and the full version probably not until January 2004. But that's just a guess, hopefully we get it sooner but Id rather have them have all the bugs worked out of it than release a beta mac version like they did for pc users.

And the only official Mac release will be seen on the link I posted before, that is the Raven Shield official site, so when it starts to develop for mac, they will post it like they have for the Xbox. Those Xbox screenies look tight as hell though, and of course chalk up another one for me..cuz I have a ps2. Bah Humdillyumbug!

     Ah, don't worry. Judging by the past history of Red Storm ports, the Mac version will be released as a beta too.

i think you mean beta quality.  if it's actually released as a beta, they are going to improve it at some point

     Good point.

 Sounds about right, to run it on low graphics settings.

To run mid or higher graphics settings, depending on how well optimized it is, you'll probably want at least an 800 G4, 512 RAM, and a 64MB graphics card.

If I'm not mistaken, RvS runs on the same engine as UT2k3, so if you can run UT2k3 decently, you should be fine with RvS.

 My framerates in UT 2003 leave a lot to be desired ( it might have something to do with the fact that I refuse to change the graphics settings - I like everything at highest ).

My laptop ( 1GHZ Powerbook G4, 1Gig RAM, 64MB ATI Radeon 9000 Pro ) gets 20-30 FPS in UT 2003 with everything on highest, running at 1280 x 1024 ( fuck UT 2003's lack of wide screen resolutions ).

Oddly enough, even my 867 G4 ( 1Gig RAM ), which has a 128MB NVIDIA Geforce 4 gets much the same framerates.

Ahh! Why can't it all be as optimized as RTCW?!

RvS does not run on the same Engine as UT2003

There are two engine made by Epic

UT2003
and Unreal II

RvS uses the Unreal II engine - this need more performence and more powerfull Computers and GFX.


@Typhy - the GFX in your PowerBook 1Ghz isnt a 9000Pro - it is a normal 9000.
ATI never made a mobile 9000Pro chip.

As far as I know Raven Shield uses the Epic Unreal Warfare engine as America's Army does and as UT 2003 does! That was the reason why Ryan Gordon could port America's Army that close behind UT 2003!

Bye,

 Holo,

The 9000 is a 32MB graphics card. The 9000 Pro is the 64MB model of that.  

this is wrong!
Pro has a faster Clock, and I think one more Pipeline!

the the Video RAM has nothing to do with PRO or NOT PRO.

For Mobile: there are only normal 9000 GFX.
they are avaible with 32 and 64 mb RAM.

Its the same like with the 8500
or the 9600PRO u can have them with 64 and 128 MB RAM, Both of the 9600 are PRO, the 8500 was avaible with 32 , 64, and 128. Also the light versions.

the more ram the better is the Grafix Card.

But the 9600Pro with 64 RAM is better then the 9600 with 128.

this is because of the aritechture of the Cards - PRO has faster Clock
The RAM doesnt make the difference here. RAM is not evrything, for GRFX, its is better to have more, but it is much better to have the better CHIP.

look here.

 - In essense the 9000 Pro is better then the 9000 also when it has less RAM.

 - The 9600PRo is also better then the 9600 Also with less Ram.

The Problem is the Laptops never use the Pro versions - not for PC and also not for Mac.

Put it this way, the people who have tho old Macs that run RS really good wont be playing RVS unless they get a comp that is 800mgz or higher.

No shit sherlock...

What about a G4 550mhz dual with a ATI Radeon 128? AA isnt running that good with full graphs...

Abbs you might need a faster computer which will most likely come with a better video card. look into it a little more.

radeon 9700 pro used to be the best graphics card, and spanked all of nvidia's cards. NVIDIA released their FX ULTRA 5800, and it barely at times beat the 9700 pro. It wasn't until they released the new FX Ultra 5900(256 mb ram), which definitely defeats the 9700. So the best card as of now, is the NVIDIA fx ultra 5900.

How much is that?

STFW.

Since we are talking off topic i thought i would add that we are all gonna die when we see the Doom 3 mac requirements...same with quake 4! WOOOOT!
