I build my own rigs and I'm not even sure I can run this game at the highest quality!

I have an AMD Athlon64 X2 4400+ (dual core), an nVidia BFG 7900GT PCIex16, 2GB RAM and plenty of HD space.

What do those of you who DO run this smoothly at max quality have?

I dunno, I've heard a lot of people say that they run on ultra high with no lag in the middle of Bree. I don't know if I believe that. This game requires a behemoth of a computer to play at max quality, which is unfortunate in my opinion, because I feel it will hurt its potential to be as popular as it should be. But, I discussed that earlier and no need to keep harping on it. It is what it is.

I run with pretty much everything maxed out. The only time I get any perceptible lag is when I first log in to each character. For some reason, it takes the system a minute or so to stabilize. After that it's smooth sailing even in town.

My system (built last December) includes;
Intel core duo E6600 (2.4GHz,1066FSB & 4MB cache) CPU
2GB DDR2 SDRAM
GeForce 7950 GX2 Dual-GPU Graphics Card (with 1GB of vid ram)
Western Digital caviar SATA II Hard Drives
Windows XP pro
DSL connection

I run with everything pretty much maxed as well with only very brief stuttering in Bree when there are a lot of folks in town. Once the textures load in Bree (a second or two), everything is smooth as silk there too.

System specs:

Dell XPS Gen 3, P4 3.6 GHz (single-core), 2 GB PC-4200 RAM, eVGA GeForce 7950 w/512 MB VRAM), dual WD Raptor 74 GB 10K RPM drives in RAID 0.

I bought this system in October of 2004. I did upgrade the video card 2 months ago, but everything else is as I bought it. LOTRO runs great for me.

I run on near max graphics, though I could probably turn it up to max if I wanted.

My set-up is:

Core 2 Duo (running at like 2ghz, I want to upgrade it though lol)
2gigs DDR2
Radeon x1800xt 512 (another I kind of want to upgrade, maybe to the newer x1950 models)
300gig SATA2 HD

Mine runs very well.

Pentium 4 3.0ghz
2 gig ram
Western Digital Raptor drive 15,000 rpm 8mb cache
Nvidia 7900GT PCExpress 16X.

I run maxed out and only have issues when I log in or run into town where people are crafting, even then its only about 1 second or 2 with lag at all then it evens out.

Thanks!

I do as well... 7900gtx. I find the game runs pretty decently on absolute max settings, but there might be some texture latency issues as it does stutter sometimes.

Me.

Now anyway....

For a couple o' days after general release, I had a coupla moments in Bree where i suddenly went to 1 frame every 3 secs or so... But I'd 'quit' and came back a minute or two later and all fine again. Hasn't happened again since those 1 or 2 days tho.

Every thing is set to max/ultra hi, and its as smooth as.....(Oh, the water!!!)


System is Intel core duo 6600
GTS 8800
2GB RAM
320 Gig HD
550W power supply
Vista

And some blue LED's dotted liberally around the fans....


I think its the LED's that help the most.

seconds that

I would kill for a system like that hehe. Though, I may replace the CPU with a Core 2 Extreme QX6850... You know, if we're going for a sky's the limit type thing. Though I guess a Core 2 Duo E6850 would also be good... but come on, it's a QUAD CORE!

Quad core core 2 cpu=mega drool

Edit: Of course, those CPUs wont be out for another 3 days or so... but hey, thats soon enough right?

I have a question concerning running the game at the max smoothly... I currently have:

Dell XPS 400

Pentinum (R) D CPU 2.80 Ghz

NVIDIA GeForce 6800 PCI-E x16 256MB

2GB DDR2 RAM

----------------

I recently upgraded my Ram, and now can play the game on High with some lag as I go, but it runs decent overall. If I wanted to run this game on Ultra High, what would you suggest I upgrade? Is it even possible with my machine, should I upgrade some things?

I see some of you have incredible machines... I would love to get a new one, however I just barely purchased this one a few months ago!

Getting a new, high end, video card would help quite a bit. Like a 8800 GeForce or Radeon x1950 model card with 512meg ram at least. Upping to 4 gigs ram will probably help you quite a bit too, though 2 is still good. I would say update your CPU too, as from what I remember the Pent D isn't the best gaming CPU... but, that would likely require a new mobo too, and that opens up a whole new can of worms, especially when dealing with trying to upgrade a pre-built system.

The video card will likely be the biggest upgrade, and will help the most. The ram will also help some, but with people playing on max with just 2gig it isn't going to make THAT big a difference compared to the video card imo.

Regarding system specs, I just bought a new computer on a low budget and was wondering how well LOTRO would run on it.

AMD Athlon 4800+ 2.5ghz
Geforce 8500gt
2gb Ram
MSI K9N SLI Platinum nForce 570 SLI

I was planning on buying LOTRO once I got my computer.

My guess would be medium to high w/o lag. Maybe very high (Ultra-High is the max default setting) with some lag. I believe that card is about equal to the higher Radeon x1x00 series of cards (like say 1600, maybe 1800) which are fairly good cards. The CPU should be fine, and you have the 2gig ram. How much mem on the video card though? If it's 512 i'd guess very high should be easy enough for you.

Should still be able to get high at least i'd say.

P4 3G
1G RAM
ATI x8000

Game runs great w/this
#24 May 21 2007 at 9:20 AM Rating: Decent
Recently built my system. Running LOTRO in ultra high setting. It only stutters a bit when I log in. After that it runs smooth. Heres my spec:


AMD ATHOLON X2 @ 2.8MHz per core (gonna OC it to 3.0)
Gigaby GA M59 SLI Mobo
2 gigs of Corsair RAM (RAM Timing set to 4-4-4-12 1T)
GeForce 8800 GTS (320MB)
250 GB Western Digital cavier sata 3.0Gb/s @7800rpm (wanted to go with raptor but it cost a bit much for my taste)
620 Corsair SLI ready PSU

When I started lotro, I 'only' had 1gb and a radeon 9800 (126 mb). That almost drove me crazy in Bree to be honest, serious lag. But outside the city it wasn't all that bad, at medium setting anyway.

So I added another gb and got a nice geforce 7600 too, high settings are quite possible, even after hours of play I still have very little to no lag in Bree.

It's quite a relief actually, I even installed the card myself. Ofcourse, I'll have to wait and see how well I did that, but so far so good!
