I REALLY need to upgrade my computer to play, I get a whole 10 FPS right now! hah.
I bought a new video card, a GeForce 9400 GT 1GB, so that should help a lot, since my video card was the main issue (256mb ONBOARD card haha).. but I want to know how much ram most people are running SC2 at. I just want to run it smoothly on the lowest settings possible so I can play competitively =[
I have 2GB right now, but since im significantly broke I dont know if I can afford more, unless its absolutely necessary.
How many of you are running SC2 with just 2GB of ram? Does it run smoothly for you?
|
Im currently running it at 2GB RAM (1GB broke t.t) but it runs smoothly anyway : )
only time it lags is when my computer has been on for like 2 weeks
|
its running smoothly for me on lowest graphics and resolution. Got a laptop with only 2GB ram and a GForce 6400.
|
I am using 2GB of ram myself, and I can run the game perfectly fine on high settings. (8800 GTS as my video card). Assuming the rest of your cpu is fine and dandy, you should be good.
|
i run on 2gb of ram, it's fine.
|
I'm using one gig of ram and it lags like crazy :/
gonna get some ram tomorrow
|
2 gb here as well works fine on med settings.
|
I'm on a lappy with pentium M 1.86GHz, 2 gigs of ram and geforce 6600 go and I get about 25FPS lowest settings 1680x1050. If you're running at 10FPS on lowest settings with that kind of a vid card something else is wrong. I can't imagine your CPU being worse than mine either..

I don't think you'd notice a lack of ram in the overall framerate during the game. Unless you are super concerned about loading times (and even then 2gb are enough if you don't have lots of other applications loaded), ram shouldn't be a big concern for you.
I can run max settings smoothly on 2gb.
If you are concerned about your framerate, there is a big thread here with guidelines. As long as your graphics card is not very old, you are fine. My HD 4800 series does about 40-60fps depending on the game situation.

2 gig ram should run SC2 fine i think ? Im just using 2
|
i have 8GB of ram... works pretty good  maybe a little overkill, but i use up to 75% of it when commentating/processing because of all the crap i have open.
i have an 8800GT (512mb) that i'm hopefully upgrading to a 4870x2 (waiting to hear back from guy selling it) and the 8800GT does a good job of playing it with everything near-max (some things not on ultra tho) but the 4870x2 will allow me to go full AND fraps it.
ram is really cheap these days, i'd say its worth picking some up. sounds like your system is probably DDR2 so you could pick it up for as low as maybe 30 bucks a stick. you should look for it used on a hardware forum if you're especially broke since you'll get some sick deals that way.
|
I have 4GB, with a few minor programs open in the back, and my RAM always shoots up to 75%+ mid game.
|
2GB ram works fine for me. I play on lowest settings anyway.
|
I went from 2GB to 4GB. After buying 5770 it felt like I was bottlenecked by the RAM. Definitely good call.
|
I run it with 2GB of ram. Of course all my settings are on low but I almost never lag.
|
1GB - Middle settings , working fine just loading semi long

You have a whole gig graph memory? Normally it seem as though its better buying a earlier series then buying a low end card of a series. Could of spent money for graph memory for better card in series.

I have 6GB RAM and the game runs very smoothly. I can run everything on Ultra without much issues (>60 FPS), as a reference, after I double click the Starcraft-shortcut it only takes 5 seconds until the game is fully loaded, which includes the time the game takes to initialize and the loading bar.

ram isn't the most important thing for sc2 (when compared with other games) the GPU and CPU are.
|
ram won't be a problem for games unless you have like 512mb ram.
