Today, Deterrence runs on the purposefully crappy made test station to find the minimum system requirements and to keep the game optimized. The test station is made up of a low-to-mid range CPU (Intel Xeon X5450 @ 3.00GHz), mid-to-high range graphics card (NVidia GeForce GT 730), and 6Gb of DDR2 RAM.

[i]Current settings that are adjustable for graphics[/i]
The performance was surprising with all graphics settings set to high and having an average frame rate of fifteen frames per second (FPS). With the current graphic options, I could disable shadows, v-sync, bloom, anti-aliasing, and drop texture quality to an eighth resolution. By dropping the settings to lowest, the game ran at a tolerable, smooth average of 30 FPS with a few drops to about 25 FPS when there is a lot of action. Still, there are a few more settings that can be made adjustable that can make a difference when it comes to scenarios like this test station.

[i]How the game looks with lowest graphic settings[/i]
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the test results since the game can run on hardware that is nearly a decade old or more. This is good news to many players out there that don't have the latest and greatest hardware.
[h1]Testers Wanted[/h1]
The CPU and RAM are a bit overboard, but this test is focused on the minimum graphics card. There will be further tests to discover a lowest processor and RAM. You can help out as well with your hardware by becoming a volunteer tester.
