Metro 2033, will it fry my computer?

[Vault101]

Ok so what would you say are the specs needed to atleast run the game so that its playable

also can running games with such high requirements (like Crysis high) actually damage your computer/graphics card? I know that sounds stupid but I honestly don't know

My desktop has an I7 920 proccesor, 6 GB memory and a crappy videocard.
it was to much for my pc even on lowest quality, but it didn't had any permenant damage.
but maybe I am doing something wrong.
the specs are according to steam:
* Processor: Any Quad Core or 3.0+ GHz Dual Core CPU
* Memory: 2GB RAM
* Graphics: DirectX 10 compliant graphics card (GeForce GTX 260 and above)
* DirectX®: DirectX 10 or higher

Memory is the same thing as RAM right? I dont know much about processors but I doubt mine is up to standard...I may leave this one for now

There you go.

As for damage it depends, Metro 2033 broke my friends power supply cause the game caused his GPU (8800) to ask for more power then it had ever asked for before, and the psu was unable to comply so it died. As for frying cards, not unless you have shit all ventilation and a heater pointed at your Mobo.

RAM= Random Access Memory.

Yes, unless you are talking about your storage capacity such as your hard drive or solid state. Disk space.

It didnt run very well on my computer, and mines fairly new.

I think the game was built to fry, but if you have a good graphics card and fit the other stuff, you should be fine

Games can't fry components. Given that you have an otherwise working system with no jamming fans or mountains of dust. Even then there are temperature sensors, so if it gets too hot, your system will automatically shut down.

You can find system requirements for any game from the Internet.

THIS ^
A thousand times over.

You cannot fry/damage your machine by running something it can't handle, if you do, then it's not the games fault, but a problem with the build itself.

Focus, good man. Those are recommendations.

The graphics card is seriously bottlenecking your system then, as i7 build with 6 GB DDR3 would otherwise be more than enough to run basically any game out there.

I recommend you go to this website http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ it scans your system and it tells you if you can run the game.

Thanks for all the help I think Ill give this one a miss for now

Overheating damage.....thats about it . For those who say it cant fry your system. If the system is somewhat past its sell by date, shiz could fail and the extra work its doing can antagonise the issue. But, if the system is solid, then nope....all you will get is an amazing ammount of FPS drops

You would have to post your specs to get any kind of real answer. Runs great on mine, a high end laptop (Sager NP9850, 280m SLi, 4 GBs DDR3 RAM). Here it is on youtube running on mine, keep in mind FRAPs cuts FPS in half or more.

just out of interest, and mabye you just already told me but whats your processor (as in GHz) and your graphics card?

Metro is a beast, and on a PC it will ask for a lot, but it'll run on a console so it should scale down easily enough. It does ask more than Crysis though, which is pretty daunting.

Crysis doesn't ask a lot for minimum, it just takes a lot to run it on the very highest setting.

HANG ON GUYS.

Why don't you just play the demo?

Yeah, it's only at the top end that Metro asks for more than Crysis, it scales down better.

Computer is a laptop (Far from gaming rig) and could run Metro on Medium settings with no noticable slow.

Also, three years old.
