How do i know it? On the Russian gaming expo they were running it on full detail on an i5 with a GTX460 and only 2GB of RAM. Lots of stutters due to the low RAM (probably couldn't load the map/ground textures efficiently enough so it was constantly reading from the hard disk), but it was still running and it was also smooth over water. In fact, i'm willing to bet that the exact same systems they used in the gaming expo would run it just fine at moderately high settings if they had an extra GB or two of RAM.
The only component that's lagging behind a little is your graphics card. I think you GPU is about the same generation as mine is but with a bit less video RAM, although i'm not very familiar with nVidia naming conventions for the generation between the 8800 and the current 4xx/5xx series cards (it was the time i built my PC and i went with Ati for a change, so i missed what happened with nVidia).
In any case, the game won't be here for another two months so you can definitely wait until the new GPUs get a bit cheaper. Just wait for the game and save up some money until then.
When you finally have the game in your hands, if you see that you need more performance you'll be able to get more of it for the same amount of cash  |
Cheers m8,i will wait until the grapics cards get a little as ati has a new card coming out so hopefully the 6950/6970 will go down alot in price,the only reason i would buy a new card is that the gtx 280 only supports dx10 and it would be nice to have dx 11 for IL2:COD,thanks for the advice m8
