i have seen the work put in to this and the dedication so i am thinking of pre ordering can my specs handle this game(crosses fingers) o and i am getting a new graphics card in a few months soif the one i have isn't good enough pls reccomend:).
graphics crard: Intel(R) HD Graphics (Core i3)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz (4CPUs), ~3.1GHz
Memory: 6144MB RAM
P.S. i realize that you have your handes full with the game so why not get a friend or a admin to look over the boards for you?just a suggestion and another suggestion is that there is a sticky file for people who want to ask if their pc can run it (because there is no current set requirments), so they can be answerd bye peaple who can say how well theirs run with it or peaple can post their pc specs and how well it works with it on a scale of 1 to 10 or even a little video to show how well. thanks for you time.

What is "this" in this regard?
If you mean Overgrowth, everyone will probably have technical difficulties right now. Since the game is still in the alpha stage, there haven't really been much optimization done to it and will therefor lag for almost any setup.
Looking at what you have, besides the graphics cards, you have a better computer set up than myself. I can run the game fine.
If you're just hesitant of purchasing the game because of optimization issues, you can always request a refund by contacting the developers from their Contact page. They are quite determined to not let people down in this matter.

Yeah, you're going to run it about as well as I do since the hardware is the same on mine. That GPU will practically melt when you stab someone, but other than that you should be ok. You're going to be limited in entity count and the blood effects until they are optimized, but you should be able to parkour and fist fight ok.

wow a possible refund? i thought those where extinct lol, well now that i know i can get a refund i will deffinatly buy it.
I am guessing GPU is my graphics card lol good thing i am getting a new one soon.
i always thought optimization lagged things more i guess i still have a lot to learn. well ok i will wait for that until i buy it i want to have the full experience because i don't want to play it once and think its not good just because i lag out.
thanks guys.

Yeah, optimization is a good thing
I would actually recommend getting it now. You actually miss out on a lot when time goes by without a preorder. Even if it doesn't run well, if you plan to buy it someday I would advise you get it now. You don't have to, but it's worth it. Besides, once you get the new GPU then you'll shit bricks at how much better the game will run. And I wouldn't worry about a bit of lag ruining the experience since it's amazing anyways.

Yeah, that's a good reason to be cautious and I understand it completely. Overgrowth should be a real treat for you, in that case.
