Why not try at least try it?

Anyone who doubts their PC can run GRR (whether it plays SG fine or not) just try the damn demo! :P

@DL:

My PC is this:

Intel Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz, 3 Gb Ram, GeForce 8800GT (512 Mb, PCI-Express), XP and runs GRR fine in Shader 2, so (if you haven't already) try the demo. :)

it's PROPER SEXY... kids, if you got a 2.0GHz(or better)P4, just shell out for a good graphics card and you're set for GR:R.

Not even that. It runs (at a nice speed too, in fullscreen 800*600, 32bit, shader model 2) on my new Acer Revo with a 1.6Ghz Atom CPU and an Nvidia Ion graphics chip.. Yes, I was surprised too.

Oh, and the 'SE-VENN' multiplier is currently my favourite word, which I'm trying to work out how to make it my sons' first.

Happy shooting shit with PS2.0 though :)
Aye, I have.
I assumed the X1950 didn't support model 3, should it?

my machine couldn't run it
So I've just finished building a new one specifically so I could play it.
That wasn't what I told my wife of course - our current machine is just too slow for the Java compiler I need for work (which was true though not why I upgraded the machine).
Anyway I now can run Gridrunner Rev, and SG, and life it good.
