Will this requirement be fine for The Elder Scrolls Online?

yours is like.. a step up from mine. So if mine can at "medium low to low" settings, then you can for sure.

Your CPU is pretty outdated but on top of that for video games I recommend at least 2g of VRAM on your video card. If you can afford it get a 4g vRAM card. Trust me, that 4g vRAM comes in REAAAAAAALLLLLLL handy. And before anyone says it, yes, there are games that will make use of that much. I've actually almost hit 4gigs of vRAM use on my Skyrim game. Now as to this MMo, 2 gigs of vRAM should do you fine but that 1gig card you got, it's gotta go. As to the CPU, come on man, cough up some dough and at least, I mean at the very least get an i7-2600k, they cost about 200 bucks and offer amazing performance at an economy price. Unfortunately if you do that you'll need a new mobo and ram sticks cause as far as I know the i7-2600k needs an LGA 1155 mount and they all use DDR3. It's definately an affordable route to take though for a fairly good gaming rig that would blow the current one you have out the water.

Don't bother with this reply, he's confusing ram with vram. If you're running a 1080p monitor you WON'T need anymore than 1.5-2g of vram. I don't hit 4g of Vram in Skyrim with 100 mods and three displays....

@TheLaw - I'm not confusing anything. I'm stepping out to go back to play a game but my advice is don't ask here. Go to Toms Hardware and ask on their forums. Trust me, those guys are accredited and they'll shoot you in the right direction. More vRAM equals better handling of higher resolution and a crap ton more eye candy with increased capabilities for running AA and AF, all of which are majorly requiring of vRAM.

Thats a sweet laptop. You can get a decent used car for the price of it though.

Aye.... Alienware is a big big waste of money. So much markup on those things just for the name. And the name's pretty tarnished these days to boot.

Lol you'll have to forgive us, as asking if a Core i7 3600 with 12 gigs of ram is sufficient for this game is kinda sarcasm bait..

Err, yes, it'll be more than adequate. By a lot.

Oh, I thought you where serious. I'm sorry :thumbsup:

Alienware is a total waste, but the Intel/nvidia vs AMD is purely preference and opinion, don't let anybody tell you otherwise and do your own research
