What is the minimum spec for a Cipher powered game?
Cipher requires a hardware 3D accelerator card, but beyond that, the minimum spec for a Cipher powered game is very much down to the game. If you rely on a lot of Cipher’s more advanced features and use models with lots of polygons and high resolution textures, you will need a high spec machine than another game that only uses Cipher for simple 2D effects. Cipher has been used to produce a game that runs on a Pentium II 300Mhz with a Rage 128, which is a very low spec machine by today’s standards. At the same time it can push a 2Ghz Pentium 4 with a Geforce 4. The temple demo has been designed to take advantage of more up to date hardware, while the Crazy Car Championship demo has been designed to be more scalable and will run on a wide variety of machines.
