here is an informative read for anyone wanting to know what hardware gives what performance (graphics:fps:resolution ratios)
http://www.techspot.com/article/255-...2-performance/
it shows that a 4870 can give you the required 60fps you need to play on a 1024X768 / 1280X1024 resolution (deduction based on their high resolutions)
It also shows that this game uses 4 cores (unlike other games), BUT will run perfectly fine with 2 cores
like always its better having faster clock over cores; like 3ghz of 2 cores better than having 4 cores of 2.5 ghz
anyways if u have a 4870 1gb like me then looking at the bench marks 9800gts performs poorly
in fact none of those cards do well unless its a gtx280 or 4870 crossfire
upgrading to the new 5000 ati series is ridiculous as there all priced $150 more than they should be, they seem to have priced all their cards expensive as there is no competitive card in the market atm
so if you have a 8800/ 9800 / 4850 hold off from upgrading just yet
if your like sol and your running AGP, you have to start from scratch and upgrade but you dont want to upgrade that soon afterwards its already out dated, you want it to last a couple!
anyway enjoy reading that article!
