[QUOTE="overzealot, post: 115451, member: 2860"] I just checked this on Windows 8.1 with my m11x (original, 1.3 ghz Core 2 Duo, Nvidia GT335m) on T2. Unplayable on integrated graphics (GMA4500), even at 320x200 (yes, the menu looks terrible at this res). Its smooth but the simulation speed is not correct, somewhere between 50 and 70 percent normal. This could be graphics driver issues as these old hybrid systems are stuck with ancient ones, but I'm not going through the hell of installing graphics again to check. Switching to nVidia graphics, ran fine at native res. Barely touching the CPU. So, I pegged the game to a single CPU, only allow the lowest speed bin (800mhz). Game occasionally hits 50% CPU on that core, usually hovers around 40%. This thing should run on any CPU, I'd say minimum req would be single core 600mhz, maybe 1ghz single core for something like Atom. Good to know for setting up a dedicated machine for pinball, or perhaps some room to move if Farsight try to improve the physics. :D [/QUOTE]
