General guideline

The system requirements of TMW, as with any game, hugely depend on the kind of framerate you want. In general, you should be fine with a more or less recent (year 2001 and later) 3D accelerator card when running the OpenGL version. The software/SDL version probably heavily depends on your processor speed.

  • Processor: 1 Ghz
  • Memory: 64 MB
  • Hard disk: ~25 MB
  • Operating system: Windows, GNU/Linux or MacOS X

Performance chart

Here is a list of systems and the respective framerate with TMW. Feel free to add a line of your own, add comments if you like or necessary. We need especially more data about FPS on lower end machines, and it would also be nice to see changes in framerate on the same machine with different versions of TMW.
