AMD Athlon XP 2800+
Chaintech GeForce 6600 GT ( 500/900 mhz )
Standard On-Board sound
doesn't mention ram though, but that is a slower system than mine heh

Runs great on my system, well, everywhere but a few parts of DSI get 50fps+ maxed out at 1280x1024:

Athlon 64 3000+
1Gb of DDR400 mem
ATI X800 based card

Hey Cheapy, fancy seeing you here... (The Wolf)

Apparently they don't know about Zymotic.

I'm surprised that the reviewer got 10-20 fps on a 6600 GT. The 6600 isn't a high-end card, but I have several friends that have Nexuiz, and it runs at a smooth 30-40 fps (at least) on their 6600 cards with all effects on. Nexuiz could definitely use optimizations (especially on the playermodels), but it should run quite smoothly on a 6600 GT. In the comments after the review, I was also surprised that he "quadrupled [his] fps on the CS:S stress test". With all effects on in Nexuiz, I usually get 25-30 fps. (Except on two maps which for some reason have a much lower framerate than the others). On the Doom 3 benchmark with all effects on, running at high quality, (same resolution) I get 31 fps.

In the readme or perhaps even on the Nexuiz website (considering that quite a few people don't read the readme), there should be something explaining that even though Nexuiz is based on Quake 1, it is far more advanced graphically, and there should also be somethin explaining that RTLights is a very high-end feature that will cause slowdowns on lower-end systems.

I use a 6600 non-GT and with everything bur RTshadows on i get 30-50 FPS. without bllom adn particles I play at ~120.

Maybe we were just lucky enough that he is one of those with FPS problems.. like kozak or urmel... :shock:
