Attention all cardholders with Shader Model 2.0 and below (see footnote): client work on these graphics cards is not guaranteed at all. GoD requires graphics card guaranteed client support Shader Model 3.0, this:

NVIDIA: all graphics card starting with the GeForce 6600.
AMD: all graphics card since the Radeon X 1600.

Not actually supported by the client video: GeForce3, 4 FX series, the Radeon 8500, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800, X 300, X 600, X 800, X, X 1250.Compare to official req :
Graphics Cards

Minimum : NVIDIA® FX 5700 or ATI™ Radeon® 9600 video card
Recommended : NVIDIA® FX 6600 or ATI™ x800 or better video card

There is small difference :)

Especially when we check minimum.
FX5700 have no support of Shader Model 3.0 ...

Where is true?

Do you want more mess?
In old site http://legacy.lineage2.com/pds/pds_client.html
6600 is minimum :)

Can I ask for 'correct' information what are minimum requirements of Graphical Card?

If they are change what is reason of it?

Correct information and Ncwest? Nope not gonna happen...
there is no new engine, it's an updated version of the unreal engine 2.5

Non shader 3 cards will be unable to display the advanced shader effects

Any graphic card works on l2 now.

Why are you even looking at the old site they already posted the updated version of the system spec on the newer GoD site

LOL u need a reason for them to change it??? god people these day they prob changed it for better graphics and a better look. Sorry L2 did what WoW did and did a Minor over haul in its animations/graphics to keep up with newer games
Thanks for the link! :D

And, honestly, most MMOs I've played "put on weight" as they get older, requiring more resources to run than when the game first came out. As such, the old system requirements might well be obsolete.

Well if u look at the old req link the op posted seems the min req is now kinda the recommended lol
