Fallout: New Vegas Question

[d3moliti0n]

Hi

There doesn't appear to be any 'official' New Vegas thread as I searched and just founds lots of different threads on the subject.

Anyway, basically I want to know about the system requirements. I know they haven't been announced yet, at least as far as I'm aware, but will they be similar to Fallout 3 or more demanding? As I'm trying to decide whether to buy the PC version or go for the PS3 version. My system spec:

Dual-Core E2180 running at 3GHz
2GB Corsair XM2 DDR2/PC-6400 (usually about 1.6/1.7GB free when idle at desktop)
GeForce GTX 260, 216 core, 896MB
Windows XP 32-bit
I run all games at 1680 x 1050 with at least 2x AA if possible.

I could run Fallout 3 on my PC when it was released and back then my graphics card was a 256MB Radeon HD 3850, it ran between 30-50FPS and was very playable, I never had any issues. Will this system be capable of running the new one? Obviously I have the better GPU now, so I'm hoping so but you never know.

Thanks.

Requirements should be similar for New Vegas due to the same game engine. And now your graphics card is upgraded from a GPU that could play Fallout 3 I think you should be ok.

I would get the PC version for sure, simply for mod support.

I'd have made the threads I started on it "official" if there was enough interest

I loved Fallout 3 and recently went back to play it with about 10 gigs of mods added onto it.

It really is amazing what some of the modders can do and how much they change the game (for the better in most cases).

Can't wait for new vegas!
