Posts from System requirements for Heroes VII. Auto-translated

Hello! I want to start a discussion about the extremely high system requirements of the game Might and Magic Heroes 7. I haven't found any such discussion on the Internet, I've been looking for more than two years, but found nothing. And yet, Heroes 7 is one of the strongest parts of the Heroes series, and so little attention is paid to it, especially since it is the current, latest version, like Windows 10 in the world of operating systems! :smile54: Everyone is gradually switching to Windows 10, right? So why isn't this happening in the world of Heroes fans?!! Why are they sticking to morally outdated software?

I've been planning to switch to Heroes 7 for a long time, I've already studied all the materials from Ubisoft, but the extremely high system requirements of this part are holding me back. I need an Intel Core i5 processor with a clock speed of over 3 GHz: I haven't seen any laptops with such powerful processors. :mad: I have an Intel Genuine Core i3 with a clock speed of 2.2 GHz, 2 cores, 4 threads (Hyper-Threading) without TurboBoost support. But on the same machine, Games Farm Vikings: Wolves of Midgard runs perfectly on the highest quality settings, as well as other modern games with high requirements. :smile07: Maybe Heroes 7, which I've been dreaming of buying since September 2015, since the day of its release, and even earlier, since the announcement in 2014, will also run, albeit with some problems, but it will run? I'm so eager to switch to it!!!

You asked two questions – about the system requirements for the seventh installment and why people aren't switching to it. These aren't really related. The fact that people can't ensure stable performance for the game due to outdated hardware is one thing, but there may be other reasons why they don't play it...

Maybe Heroes 7, which I've been dreaming of buying since September 2015, since the day it was released, and even earlier, since the announcement in 2014, will finally become a reality. I'm only holding back because I'm worried my hardware might not be powerful enough. Will it run, even with some problems, but will it run? I really want to switch to it!!!

The processor isn't a big deal. Focus on the graphics card. I can run it on a 940m. It's laggy, but it runs.

Ment, and what other ones? I gave an example with Windows. Are you still using Windows Millennium in 2019? I hope not. Everyone wants to update, and they only don't because they look at their hardware with a heavy heart.

No one used Vista even when they had the appropriate system requirements to switch from XP, for example. And even more so with games. With operating systems, you can usually say that a more advanced one is better (not always, but often), but in games, technology plays a small role compared to everything else. Although these things are so obvious that I'm even surprised you're asking.

I don't understand you at all anymore, dear Ment!!! When Windows Vista was released in 2005, I threw a week-long party at our company, paid for breakfasts, lunches, coffee breaks, and dinners for all my colleagues, took them to restaurants, and gave everyone a bonus equal to two months' salary. I gradually persuaded and convinced everyone to switch to the new OS from Microsoft. And why wouldn't I? A dream came true: the hated, ominous, hellish, accursed XP, Microsoft's biggest mistake in its entire history, the most vile and demonic OS, was finally gone. Vista triumphantly marched forward, crushing demonic thickets, the castles of evil wizards, the sun of a new era rose, all evil fled to its Eofol to its Lucifer Krigan in fear of the victory of mankind, and carried its XP with it to hell, the petrified began to move, the blind saw, the mute spoke, the deaf heard, the insane regained their sanity, the possessed were rid of their parasites, the plague-stricken recovered!!! I hated XP and everything associated with it from the moment of its erroneous release! How many thousands of billions of dollars did Microsoft lose because of it, you scoundrel! It was a parasite on all of society, gnawing at it from within. And now it's gone! Hooray!!!
P. S. To the website administrators: This is off-topic, please don't ban me. I just had to say this, since the topic came up. I didn't want to. But otherwise, I would have a conflict with my conscience, please forgive me for this passage!

Ment, I admit that I was wrong. Everything depends on the individual user's attitude towards a particular software, and is not determined solely by the date of its release. I remembered myself in 2001, when the latest version of Windows was the terrible XP, how I was persuaded to switch to it, often simply pressured, and I sincerely didn't understand why Microsoft released such a horror. You are absolutely right. Everyone can have their own opinion about any software product. Let's end this debate. I just want to know if there is a chance to run Heroes 7 on an Intel Core i3?

Most likely, yes, if the video card can handle it. The AI might run slowly, but I don't know for sure what the AI calculations depend on. I hope it also depends on the video card.

Ment, thank you, you forgave me for my rash judgments, thank you! The video card is powerful, with 4 GB of video memory, but the processor is a bit weak. The HDD is also modern and of server-class, designed for 24x7 operation; I checked it, and even if the PC is left on for several days, it doesn't start to perform worse or glitch. The RAM is 16 GB DDR3-1033. I'm using Windows 10 Professional 64-bit with all the latest updates. Do you think I'll at least be able to install the game from Uplay, or will it say that installation is impossible?

It will run great!

My laptop with an MX 150 runs it smoothly on all settings.

arkmo, what is MX 150? Sorry, but I don't know that processor. Pentium MMX is unlikely; it's a 1997 model, and no modern game will run on it. :eek: Could you please provide more details about your laptop's configuration? I also have a laptop. The question was about my Intel Core i3-2350M processor (2nd generation, 2x2.3 GHz, no Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading present). Psatkha said the game would run, and he's quite an expert on games in the Heroes series. Is your MX 150 more powerful or weaker than the processor I mentioned?

mx150 is a modern entry-level video card. It is roughly equivalent to a GF 1030. I have an ultrabook with a Core i7.

arkmo, then why did you post your message?!!! :confused: I have a Core i3 of the second generation, and you have a Core i7, and probably not lower than the fourth generation! I didn't ask to list all the configurations on which the game runs! Your system is immeasurably more powerful and modern than mine, so it's pointless to say anything... I simply don't have the money to buy such a powerful laptop, and it's unlikely that a person working in sales will have such a large amount of money... None of our employees, no matter who you ask, has ever had a Core i7; they simply can't earn enough to afford it...
