I'm running a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB RAM.
I have a Boot Camp installation of Windows Vista with SP2 and plenty of room to install the game, but I'm wondering how my specs shape up to the minimum/recommended specs that Bioware has listed for Dragon Age 2:
Recommended:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz Processor or equivalent
CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 Triple core 2.8 GHz or equivalent
RAM: 2GB (4 GB Vista and Windows 7)
Video: ATI 3850 512 MB or greater
Video: NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB or greater
DirectX 11: ATI 5850 or greater
DirectX 11: NVIDIA 460 or greater
Minimum:
OS: Windows XP with SP3
OS: Windows Vista with SP2
OS: Windows 7
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo (or equivalent) running at 1.8 GHz or greater
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 (or equivalent) running at 1.8 GHz or greater
RAM: 1 GB (1.5 GB Vista and Windows 7)
Video: Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS 256 MB cards
Disc Drive: DVD ROM drive required
Hard Drive: 7 GB
Sound: Direct X 9.0c Compatible Sound Card Windows Experience Index: 4.5
I don't need to play at maximum resolution. I just don't know how to translate the specs given to what graphics capabilities my Mac has. For what it's worth, I was able to install Oblivion and play it at fairly high settings. I never tried the original Dragon Age.
I'd rather not get the Mac version of the game as I read that Dragon Age 1 for the Mac was pretty poorly done compared to the PC version.
I realize this is somewhat speculative as the game is not released yet, but thanks for any help or insight you can give me.
