In the distant 2011, Fable 3 was released. The system requirements of this game excited many then, since it was ported from the Xbox 360 console and could be poorly optimized. Today we will talk about what kind of computer or laptop you need to have in order to be able to run "Fable 3".
operating system
Since the system requirements of Fable 3 are already a little outdated, modern players may have some problems with the selection of the OS. Initially, the minimum request was Windows XP SP3, and the recommended version by the developer was Windows 7. However, now it is rather difficult to meet a computer with XP. Moreover, even the support of the “seven” is gradually phasing out and more and more views are turning to the “top ten” and the development of newer versions.
Thus, the system requirements of the game Fable 3 are slightly updated. A person who wants to play this masterpiece of the console industry will either have to install a virtual machine with one of the old versions of the operating system, or set the corresponding compatibility mode to "ten", which sometimes does not work.
CPU
There may be some problems with this computer element. Fable 3 system requirements are designed in such a way that a decent load is placed on this hardware. Initially, in 2011, a dual-core processor with a clock frequency of 2 GHz was set as a minimum request, and the recommended parameter was increased to 2.9 GHz. However, practice has shown that for the average graphic settings of the game, the first value is enough.
A modern gamer, having a powerful gaming computer, is unlikely to experience any difficulties with this feature, but as for laptops, there may be some inconsistencies. Most technology, even labeled "gaming," have processors with a low clock speed, not to mention the number of cores. Only a newer generation of iron saves. Choose i3 or i5 processors, not Core2Duo, specified in the required specifications.
RAM
This is the easiest option. Starting with the most "gluttonous" operating system Windows Vista, computer technology has developed very successfully, reducing the cost of hardware for its own support. Initially, the Fable 3 system requirements on the PC were very modest: from 2 to 4 GB of RAM. This size is now found both on computers and on the most seedy laptops. If it seems to you that this particular characteristic is not enough to start the game, try disabling unnecessary processes and system tasks that are simply clogged with modern operating systems.
Video card
As for the system requirements of Fable 3 in terms of graphics, then no surprises should be expected. If in 2011, Nvidia's GTX260 and 7600GT graphics cards could be rated as “above average,” then at the moment any laptop (except for the office “calculator”) is able to provide the necessary needs of this game. If Fable throws an error related to the GPU, the only option is to roll back the drivers to an earlier version. Of course, this can lead to problems with newer games, but do not forget that 6 years have passed since the release and many of the components used could simply be removed as unnecessary in modern realities.
Software
The last thing worth mentioning is system programs. This important point is not usually indicated in system requirements. Fable 3 is a 2011 game, so remember that it was created and ported by providing that time. Be sure to install the MS Framework older than the current 4.5. In addition, do not forget about the components of MS Visual C ++. There are many versions since 2005. And it is never known in advance which one may contain the components necessary to run Fable 3.
