GTX 460 or should I wait for something better?

Intel doesn't do high-end graphics though so that is hardly relevant here. AMD/ATI makes fine graphics cards that stand up to nVidia well, they usually take turns in having the fastest cards. And as Biggs said the game runs well for him.

My system runs it well using a 460. Performance was much improved when I upgraded from my Phenomx4 @2.3 to an i2500k@3.3 using the same card, a Gainward 460GLH with a small factory overclock. If I was buying now I'd probably get the 560Ti, something about spending more than £200 on a GPU makes me want to cry
At the moment though I'm having a great time on the Syndicate server.................

I can either run all settings on medium with shadows on or all settings on high except textures on medium with out shadows, get pretty smooth gameplay, at 1360x768 res. 1920x1080 brings the stuttering back. I shouldn't say to wait, it's not a bad card (560 ti factory overclock) ROF plays very well on high settings, landscape med, shadows med I'm sure once they get CLOD optimized it will only get better.

I am using a GTX 470 with maximun settings and runs perfectly well, no stutters at all and absolutely smooth.-
i7 960 @ 4Ghz, 6 Gb RAM.-

I meant cpu not gpu, was a mistype.
