Discovery Hardware Survey - Ichiru - 07-20-2016
Due to personal curiosity and also trying to figure out what hardware specs to target, I've decided to ask you what specs your current computer has.
The survey is here on Google Forms, I'd really appreciate it if you could fill it out.
Results will be public soon™
Note: By HDD or SSD I mean the drive your FL is installed on, sorry for confusion
RE: Discovery Hardware Survey - Sorrontis - 07-20-2016
Done! I've got a basic computer, but it works
RE: Discovery Hardware Survey - Inferno - 07-20-2016
Done.
My build(with my own hands) was around 500 USD. It does well.
RE: Discovery Hardware Survey - sindroms - 07-20-2016
Submitted mine.
You should have picked a checkbox option for the storage question, since nobody really runs a mechanical OR a solid state. The most common varient is a smaller solid + larger mechanical if solid is used.
RE: Discovery Hardware Survey - Remnant - 07-20-2016
Yeah - In my system I run 1 HDD and 2 SSDs - Had to check SSD since there really wasn't an option for multiple drives. That's a good suggestion
RE: Discovery Hardware Survey - Zephyranthes - 07-20-2016
I run a 1 SSD - 1 HDD setup, but for the purposes of the survey, I assume it might mean where Freelancer is stored, so I put my HDD.
RE: Discovery Hardware Survey - Inferno - 07-20-2016
Well, I need up upgrade to a SSD.
My HDD is the only reason my build bottlenecks sometimes. Darn you read/write speeds.
RE: Discovery Hardware Survey - sindroms - 07-20-2016
Not necesseraly
The only thing that your HDD is contributing is the ''responsiveness'' of your system. If you are performing some task such as gaming, most of the contents you need to use is stored in your RAM upon loading a map or level anyway.
Unless the game is coded that way, such as Freelancer, when it pulls models from the harddrive upon an encounter only (which causes that little lag when someone appears on your radar).
RE: Discovery Hardware Survey - Auriec - 07-20-2016
Done. I'm using one HDD and SSD, but I assumed you meant the drive where the OS is on.
RE: Discovery Hardware Survey - Ichiru - 07-20-2016
Yeah I clarified the HDD/SSD thing in the OP whoops. Appreciate the responses
So far I don't see anything that doesn't support DX 10.1/GL 3.2 so I'm pretty happy.
