Pretty standard. Good stuff.
A bit higher, and this is DX11 while SR3 was DX9/10.
Yeah, thats pretty surprising to see.

Probably gonna end up running like shit on the most high end rigs.
Didnt that happen to SR3?

Not cross gen, or at least not yet announced as such.
On the AMD side for a while, I believe. It ran smooth as butter on my own, as well as my friends systems (of varying degrees of spec).
Yeah, seems to be the same as SR3 except for mandatory DX11. Probably a good decision.
Ran perfectly for me on my modest 460 back then. I think there were some issues on AMD cards.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Not on my rig, ran perfectly smooth. I think it was an AMD thing?

It worked like charm on max on my computer that was high end. You may be confused with AMD
Or maybe SR2 thats was a shitty port.
Shit, I'll need a new video card for this.
Definitely AMD issues. My computer may be really old, but SR3 is easily the worst performing game I've ever played on it. Even Dark Souls runs better than SR3 on AMD cards.

Did they ever fix it? I just built my PC and it's AMD

It's perfectly playable, but the game should have better framerate than it does (7870 user here).

It's really annoying to see these PC games that are on PS360 being DX10/11 only.
You need to play SR2 then

Nah mine ran perfectly well
People still have dual core computers
I got a 6 core so I wouldn't have to upgrade for a long time. My laptop is a quad but it's not for gaming.
Ok thanks
Unfortunate but I'm so used to shitty framerate on consoles I probably wouldn't even notice.
The minimum requirements aren't really an order of magnitude more powerful than 360, at all.

Why? A GeForce 79xx is bobbins now.
I guess it was a launch issue? Like I said, works perfectly for me.
Many ports these days are starting to be DX11 only. It usually gives better performance if the card supports it and no extra features were added. Most of the time, though, they do add extra visual features, which is even better.

Yes, and they made the performance even worse with a patch lol.
No one really knows what's causing it. Everyone says it's a AMD problem but I also had it with my 560 TI. Maybe a CPU problem? I do have a AMD CPU... mhh. Oh well, didn't really like the game anyway. SR2 was better but that port was even worse.

There was a setting I had to turn down (or completely off, can't remember) in Saints Row 3. But it ran fine after that on just a 4870 1GB. Mostly 40-50fps with some dips, 60fps in water and high rooftop areas where there's not much to render.

"Video Card: Radeon HD 5850 (1024 MB) or GeForce GTX 260 GTS (1024 MB)"
edit then again is it a GTX or GTS? Huh.
They could be using a DX11 API feature without requiring a DX11 GPU.

Don't care what it says, SR3 had problems on some AMD systems, including mine.

Quick question from a non-PC gamer who this is not going to effect anyway as my Laptop does not come close to meeting those specs:
Why is the recommended OS Windows Vista? Is it just less resource intensive than Windows 7?

Because that's the "lowest" OS that supports DX11. The OS itself doesn't matter.
Yes, I milk it for all it's worth, runs plenty of games released in the last 3 years just fine.Nah mine ran perfectly well

"5850 recommended". BAHAHAHAHAHA
I had an Intel system with a multi-GPU AMD setup. "Gaming Evolved" my arse.
