I wonder what kind of device specs are required to run this kind of simulation properly. Couldn't find any information about this on the site and on the blog.



Specs are listed here: http://www.outerra.com/demo.html

Minimum requirements:

* Windows Vista and higher, limited Windows XP support

* Nvidia 8xxx series or better, AMD/ATI 5xxx or better with recent AMD/ATI drivers (older ATI series are no longer supported by AMD and their legacy drivers do not work well with Outerra)

* Recent graphics drivers!

* 1GB graphics memory

* 2GB RAM

* 500MB disk space for the initial install, up to 15GB for fully downloaded Earth dataset

Recommended:

* Nvidia 470GTX or better, ATI 6870 or better

* 2GB graphics memory

* a 2-core CPU


That's surprisingly reasonable.
