---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revision | OS | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
3.0-735 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i7-2700K @ 3.5 GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 | Menus invisible with DirectX 9. Stuttering and significant FPS loss with LLE enabled. Perfect with DirectX 11 and HLE. | Drezus |
3.5-1070 | Windows 7 | Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.1 GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 | 60FPS constant with DX11 and HLE. Good on 3x Native, probably could do 4x with these specs. DX9 still has invisible textures. | tommyB |
5.0-16517 | Windows 10 | AMD 5950X | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 | Game plays absolutely perfectly. Used Emulated Wii Remote with a Real Wii Remote over Emulated Controller. Single Core was used, though this game does not appear to be dual core sensitive. | JMC4789 |
