Author Topic: Parameters For Higher Brickcount  (Read 2866 times)

Ok, so I found a site that I could order parts and build my own comp. But I need your guy's help on if I should get it and the estimation of how well it will run Blockland. (By the way, I am still grounded from Blockland, just my dad is letting me post this)

Graphics card is pretty weak, go for something better. Other then that everything else is fine.

with a card like that, you will see very bad lag way before you even get close to 50000 bricks.
I have that EXACT graphics card and I don't lag at 50k bricks...

I could have it at 1600x1050, but I don't like it that size because I'm not used to widescreen.
