I hope mine is good enough, I just randomly selected parts from the interwebs and threw them into the big metal box thingy you have to use...

Core i7 3820
16GB DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte GTX 780 OC with 3GB DDR5 RAM

:p
 
My computer is getting a little old.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 @ 2.66GHz x 4
GPU: GeForce GT 640
RAM: 8GB DDR2
cpu better than minimum, gpu about minimum.

Better than recommended.
 
2011 27" iMac
2500S i5
6770M (performs around a desktop AMD 6670)
7GB of RAM (Don't ask)

2013 15" Retina Macbook Pro
4750HQ i7
8GB of RAM
Iris Pro

iMac seems to be on the edge, but should do fine. I have no worries on my Macbook Pro.

Pro is fine, obviously. If the imac struggles, it will be the GPU, but I believe it is still better than the minimum, so it should work well enough.
 
My rig was built on December 2012 and still running well.

Hopefully this computer will last longer so I can play CSL for more than a year. LOL
 
I don't get it, these threads happen with a bunch of trolling/bragging.

If you can't read the min. and rec. specs for a pc game and determine if your setup can run it.. Then you have no place in pc gaming. Your obviously spending money on stuff, you know nothing about.

It's not that hard.

This is a forum, trolling/bragging is going to be everywhere. Also, considering that this a PC/Mac only game, many people who are console gamers may be trying to break out their desktop PC to run this game. GPU naming schemes are also a fustercluck for the unexperienced, where it's understandable that someone may be confused on whether their AMD Radeon 6450 is within the minimum spec on the product page, an AMD 5670, despite the larger numbered 6450. For mobile GPUs, it's even worse since in most cases the mobile GPU performs nothing like the desktop counterpart of the same number and CO didn't put any mobile GPUs on the minimum specs.

This is funny because the CPU is almost 6 years old now and I bought the video card less than 2 years ago. I knew the video card wasn't the greatest but I needed an upgrade to play a game I bought, have no patience, and it was the only one the store had.

hackner has it backwards. A GT 640 is identical to a GT 650M, which I was able to run Battlefield 3 at max settings @1680x1050 on my old non-Retina Macbook Pro.

Your Q9400, although a high end CPU for it's time, is for lack of a better word, ancient. Even a modern dual core i5 ULV-CPU found in something like an Ultrabook, Surface Pro, or a Macbook Air beats the Q9400. If this game wasn't optimized for multi-threaded performance, your CPU would probably bottleneck the GT 640.

Pro is fine, obviously. If the imac struggles, it will be the GPU, but I believe it is still better than the minimum, so it should work well enough.

That's what I figured, but I thought I'd ask to see what you guys think. The iMac can run CiM2 on with everything ultra except water reflections turned off, with everything else turned off except bloom at 2560x1440 with some stutter here and there. I figure if I turn off the frivolous stuff that add little gain in visual quality(like Ambient Occlusion, AA, reflections, etc) then I should be fine.

A lot of the people who play games like this aren't exactly "gamers" and don't really play many, or any other games other than this genre. A proper gamer would be upgrading their video cards and stuff, but a lot of us who want to play this game are not "hardcore gamers" and don't want to bother with this stuff. In fact, a lot of us won't consider this a game, but more of a hobby.

aren't intel graphics not supported for this game? (I don't know, i'm just really just asking)
 
I'm pretty sure that my Laptop with a GT750M can easily survive the medium demand, according to official SR, but i'm a little worry about my CPU. It is a I5 4210U,yep, a U series chip. So could you please let me know does it good enough? Have you guy ever tested this game on a U CPU system?
