Randumbhero13 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hi everyone! I'm just now learning that I may be able to play CoH again and I'm very excited! I haven't owned a PC in a very long time and I'm wondering what the minimum specs I would need to get the game going. I miss the game so much and want to at least be able to throw a rig together reasonably easily and try it out. Any help is appreciated! Thanks so much and hope to be flying around the city again soon! -Randumbhero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fifth Horseman Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 If you're on a budget I would advise buying used rather than new. You're looking for Windows 7, a dedicated GPU that's about equivalent to modern entry-level (a GTX 750 Ti would be A-OK though perhaps not quite max everything), dual core with hyper-threading (Core i3, a quadcore such as Core i5 would be better but not mandatory), some 4 gigs of RAM. SSDs are optional but HIGHLY recommended - you don't need much space for COH, and with a small 128-gig SSD your load times would be greatly reduced compared to loading the game from hard drive. Put this together and you've got a tidy rig that can run COH perfectly well and way more besides that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderingAries Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The game WILL run on Intel APUs as well, so if you can't get a discrete GPU, then an Intel i3/i5 3000 (Ivy Bridge, 2010-2012 era tech) or newer series should run fine if it has a reasonable amount of memory allocated to the graphics component. My 3770k i7 (quad core) managed 7(?) low FPS instances (stress test) of the game back then with 16Gb system RAM / 1-2Gb dedicated/allocated to the APU. I couldn't afford my GTX770 at the time. :/ OG Server: Pinnacle <||> Current Primary Server: Torchbearer || Also found on the others if desired <||> Generally Inactive Installing CoX: Windows || MacOS || MacOS for M1 <||> Migrating Data from an Older Installation Clubs: Mid's Hero Designer || PC Builders || HC Wiki || Jerk Hackers Old Forums <||> Titan Network <||> Heroica!

Quite possibly, my last intentional AMD was an Athalon2 :p OG Server: Pinnacle <||> Current Primary Server: Torchbearer || Also found on the others if desired <||> Generally Inactive Installing CoX: Windows || MacOS || MacOS for M1 <||> Migrating Data from an Older Installation Clubs: Mid's Hero Designer || PC Builders || HC Wiki || Jerk Hackers Old Forums <||> Titan Network <||> Heroica!
