Why so high system req? | Forums

[Blastergamer]

I'm wondering that the Evo Gold minimum system requirements aren't capable for WinXP, why?
On Assassin's Creed Revelations, you can play it on XP and it has much greater graphics, but on Evo Gold, it has only the 1/2 of the AC Revelations graphics.
Can anybody explain why Evo Gold isn't capable on WinXP?
Thanks

edit: even my WinXP PC would be more powerful than my Xbox360S.

Just because the Minimum system requirements do not mention XP doesn't mean it won't work.

Richard Burns Rally was for XP, doesn't say it's for Windows 7 But runs just fine.

AC: Revelations uses DX9, TEGE uses DX10 and 11 (apparently) code-paths which XP doesn't support meaning it can't fall back to DX9 I guess.

Not always does a higher DX-version reflect in improved visuals, however there is often a speed-up to be had due to a more efficient implementation.

^ could explain it...
However are you sure XP straightup wont run it?
P.S why are you on XP
