Warband Scalability

[iamdanthemanstan]

I can run Mount and Blade but only with most of the settings turned down really low. Warband seems like it has some graphics improvements so my questions is will it be scalable enough that if I could only barely run Mount and Blade I can run Warband? Also will there be a demo so I can see if I can run it? Thanks?

A demo will be released most probably but if you can barely run M&B i don't think you can run Warband, in a playable state anyway.

Well if you've got an original Mount & Blade key, go here:

http://beta.taleworlds.com/download.aspx

Enter your key and you can download the Warband beta client. It's in open beta now, so anyone with an original key can play. That would be the best way to tell. You can still run the game in Directx7 mode, and I think all of the new settings are optional so they don't have an effect on minimum requirements. Still, the best way is to download the open beta and see for your self.

Well, since my GPU decided to stop working, I've been playing Warband with my onboard GPU, with DX7 and everything (Everything) set to low. I get nice 60 FPS.
I'll open original M&B and check how it works with this.

Edit: Eh... with apparently the same settings, I get 17-20 FPS in M&B 1.011... Well, download the client and check, like Orion said.

onboard GPU? :O  Seriously guys, upgrading your computer to run DX9 isn't that expensive anymore.
