Test Entries
Revision OS CPU GPU Result Tester
3.0 Windows XP AMD Phenom II X4 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 The game runs but during the match the camera is fixed on lateral field, the players can move but the match doesn't start DARIOKING
3.0-776 Mac OS X 10.7.4 Intel Core i7 @ 2.2 GHz AMD Radeon HD 6750M The game seems to work and be playable. However, frame rate drops down from 60FPS in menus to 20-35FPS during matches and 3D models have rendering issues (especially characters). Using default settings and DSP HLE. Nolendil
5.0-11701 Windows 10 Intel Xeon E3-1245 @ 3.3 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 Settings: OpenGL, Asynchronous (Ubershaders), Per-Pixel Lightning, 2x native resolution. Other settings left to their default value.

I only played 2 matches to give an update since my last test entry. The game works great. Frame rate is good all the time, no noticeable rendering issue. I also did a quick test using DirectX 11 & 12 with the same settings (i.e. without disabling "Fast Depth Calculation"): there were a few blinking surfaces but I only noticed it during the intro animation, probably due to the camera angles. Otherwise, it worked fine.
