Minimum PC specs required to play

Memnoch · 11-08-2001, 07:35 AM

Here's a post from Bob McCabe, Senior Designer for NWN on what the minimum PC specs for NWN will be.

Dated Spec Information: (Editor's note: Bob responded to a thread questioning an older system spec information and brought everyone up to date by pointing out the FAQ facts)

That's definitely outdated

8.01 - What kind of computer will I need to play Neverwinter Nights?

Our minimum system specifications currently are a Pentium II 300 MHz or AMD K6-2 350 MHz, a TNT2 or Voodoo 3 class video card, and 64 MB of RAM. An internet or LAN connection will be required for those wishing to play multiplayer games, of course, and a 56k modem should allow any such computer to support approximately 8 players or so. As bandwidth is the primary determinant of server capacity, a cable modem or xDSL line will be able to support significantly more. The maximum number of clients (player and/or Dungeon Master) allowed on a server is fixed at 64.

Running on Windows XP?: I've only run it on WinNT, but it runs very well indeed

I've got a 950 Mhz, and things can still get QUITE bad with that, so don't count yourself safe with an 800 Mhz.
