I asked about this in the recent Dom3 Comp Requirements thread, but did not recieve a definitive answer, so I'm starting a new thread.

Could we get more details on the video requirements for Dom3? Specifically will a ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 with 32 Mb RAM be sufficient?

Thank's!

I recommend you wait for the demo if the answer isn't clear from the list of System Requirements (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/Dom3/8.htm)

Well, I think you'll have no problem with the strategic map, but combat animations will maybe be slow/choppy..

Problem with ATI cards is that they have crappy OpenGL drivers: I started playing Dom2 on a Athlon500 with a 64Mb GF2, when I switched to Athlon2400 and Radeon9600 I had.. nearly same framerates ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Yep.
Which is why I stick to Nvidia cards.

Hmm, I hope Dom 3 won't trigger similiar OpenGl problems as I had with Dom 2 in start.

It may, but you've already solved them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

@Agrajag,
You're right, and I'll be swapping again for Nvidia (6600 GT) in a couple weeks !

Actually you can report once the demo gets released.
