Count on it!

Which is understandable.. When a game company puts in a effort to make a new game engine.. They are not targeting the current crop of video cards.. They are looking a few years down the road at hardware that does not even exist yet.. Thus once it is released it is 'expected' that only the current top of the line cards will even stand a chance of running at full settings at a decent but low fps.. But, a couple of years down the road, your average PC will be able to handled the graphics, and a few more years a low end PC will be able to handle the graphics

This is exactally what we 'had' with IL-2 and exactally what we 'have' with CoD

So, I fully expect that we will need new vid cards as a min upon release of a new game engine if not a whole new PC
