8800 GT is not even mid-end. I feel old.
10 years back 8800GT used be a giant
I remember everybody wanted a 8800GT but ended up buying a 8600GT because
they couldn’t afford it. but 8800 was the best GPU out there
True that
i had a 8800 gt. but what i really wanted was the 8800 gtx 🙁 that thing was a beasty beast.
aaaaah. those were the days. with my 8800 gt i played at 60 fps max settings for several years. now a GPu can’t handle at max games released the same year 🙁
i had gt 5300, 7600, 9800, gtx 480, amd 6780, gtx 580, 690, amd r9 290x, gtx 780TI, gtx 980TI and now 1080TI, my first PC that my dad bought for me had windows on it and it had a graphic card with 16mb vram, he didn’t want me to mess around with his floppy disks
I remember most of my friends had an 8800gt and when I told them I was getting an 8800gtx they all told me it was a waste of time and get the 8800gt because there wasnt much difference. I got the 8800GTX anyway and there was a lot of difference especially in Crysis. So much jelly.
It was midrange back when released. I picked up a EVGA 8800 GT when they first came out and was impressed with the performance. It was a great card in its day. I really wanted the 8800 Ultra though but the price was too high. Amazing how far we’ve come in 10 years with GPUs.
Blizzard’s gonna need a reason to recommend Windows10-64 over the others. Do we automatically win when Win10 tries to reboot during a match?
Other than that, not bad on the requirements!
I’m ready to start playing

Freesync?
So in theory it could run in any smartphone available nowaday
lol nice one Blizz, but no, no we do not need Windows 10 to run a 20yr old remaster. What about Korea eh?, think of them and how they aren’t as rich to all go for Win 10.
Downgrading my PC just to play this!!
i hope i meet the required specs https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/88e99d43c93958332caca72154e21258020944e0dfbe0c9e9bb4f52c8b6a66ed.jpg
