![]() I think it much more likely that Aspyr did not make a very good port. ![]() That tells me that the problem is probably not my system. My new computer meets or exceeds all the other system requirements in addition to the graphics card. However, I think it is totally lame that it was necessary to lower the resolution to the minimum. Now Guitar Hero is not really a graphics intensive game, and truthfully I don’t really notice the difference all that much. This did not wipe out all the stuttering, but it did help enough so that the game is playable. The only way I could find to mitigate the stutter was to lower the graphics resolution in the game options to the minimum setting. Mine is a 512 MB card, and it still stutters. The minimum system requirements for the graphics card list a “Video Card: 3D Hardware Accelerator Card Required – 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible 128 MB Video Memory.” They recommend 256 MB video card. When you are playing a musical game that depends on your being able to follow the rhythm of the song, stuttering present a pretty big issue. It’s not terrible, but I have some deep concerns. How does it all stack up? Not that great. So, now I have a sweet machine and the video game I’ve been drooling over. Better yet, on my routine visit to Costco the next day they are selling the PC version. So, 1 or 2 Google search results later, lo and behold there is a version of GH3 for the PC.Īspyr, a gaming company, contracted with Red Octane to port a version of GH3 for the Mac and the PC. Since I already built the computer anyway, this seemed like a cheaper and more reasonable alternative. Wouldn’t that be cool? Maybe it’s nicer to rock out in front of your television, but I do have a 22″ widescreen LCD monitor, so that’s not too bad. 2, 7200 rpm Seagate 500GB hard drives in a RAID 1 (hardware RAID)īeing as I have a brand-new bad-ass mother-jammer (three hyphenated double-words in a row, yes!) I figured maybe I should search for whether there is a PC version of Guitar Hero 3.Nvidia GeForce 8400 Graphics card w/ 512 MB dedicated video memory.Corsair XMS2 240-pin DDR2 memory (4 x 1 GB). ![]() Antec Tru-Power Trio TP3-550W power supply.I bought all the components, installed everything, the works. This was my first time building my own machine. My buddy Jeff helped me put together a custom computer. I had a lot of fun, but I didn’t want to sink $400-$700 into owning a console so that I could play one game. I’ve played GH2 on the Xbox 360 with friends, and played GH3 on the Wii. Nevertheless, I don’t own a gaming console. For a techno-weenie geek-boy to not own a gaming console is like a Kansas City holy-roller only owning one bible. Instead I am going to review, specifically, GH3 for the PC. So I am not going to review Guitar Hero in general everyone already knows that it rules. I think Guitar Hero, the series of games from Red Octane, kicks motha-flippin’ ass.
