Red Dead Redepmption on Z11?

I have the Sig Z, and am thinking of getting Red Dead Redemption, should it be released for PC (as rumors claim it will).

I don't know a lot about PC games, having stuck to the text-sim community for a long time. How do you think the game, should it be released on the PC, would run on the Z?

 

The only question, really, is at what resolution and quality settings it will give you an acceptable frame rate. Will it run? Yes. At what settings? Who knows. Probably Medium quality at native resolution or 1368 x 768.

 

Would it be wrong to suspect the performance may be similar, if not better, than GTA IV for PC?

So that could be a good benchmark for you to start with.

I'm also guessing low/medium settings should give you medium fps.

 

Also, I would get Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/
Get your account and buy it there.

Although I have completely given up on pc gaming asI see consoles as a much better and cheaper option.

 

thats why for gaming the 1600x900 might be better for gaming as you can play much closer or at the native res.
The Z can not do decent frame rates with all the bells and whistles on at 1920x1080 on modern games.

 

I have Steam (FM10 FTW). I also got, on the cheap, NBA2k10 and MLB2k10, the latter really serving as a place for graphics for an online baseball league I run. I'll get a control pad at some point, but these games are nothing more than diversions on the road for me.

Everyone has given up on PC gaming, save for text sims, it seems.

 

It'll run,
BC2 runs @ 40 frames on med to highish settings.
If BC2 runs fine RDR will too. BC2 is a pure pig.

 

RDR will be probably based off the GTA4 engine and that is one of the most processor intensive engines out there. Most stuff I've read state it requires a quad core CPU for decent performance...
