Well I blow right past those requirements  NOW! When can we expect it to take advantage of Dual Core, Dual Video Cards (SLI)!! And some new physics would be nice.  |

Since when has "minimal specs" meant anything in the industry?
My laptop exceeds the minimal specs (GeForce 440*, 850 MHz Athlon, 512MB) and I get perhaps 2 FPS...
Pre 1.10 I got around 5-7 FPS max.
*A GeForce 2 pretending to be a GeForce 4.

True. Bare Minimum graphics card now is usually a GeForce 5700. And thats considered really bare Minimum.
My fiance is using my old GeForce 4 TI 4800 & next month I'll pick her up a 6200. She's no hard core gamer, so it should suffice.

I use a 5700 w/256mb vram with no real issues on stability. Could always be less client lag but 3/4ths of that could be taken care of eventually with REAL occlusion culling.
