---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revision | OS | CPU | GPU | Result | Tester |
3.0-161 | Windows 7 x86 | Intel Core i7 @ 2.67GHz | nVidia GeForce 560 Ti | Playable, minor slowdown in many places | Blinity |
3.0-776 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7 2670QM @ 2.2GHz | nVidia GeForce GT540M | Playable, has some minor slowdowns but mostly runs too fast unless audio is used for syncing however, looking at the sun will destroy framerate (can't specify a way to correct this, it differs from GFX card to GFX card). | Speedytech7 |
