You can probably run it. If not, just upgrade your fucking video card.

Meh, the graphics are not revolutionary. They are not much worse than WoW though. So who cares. You don't play a game like this for the graphics though...

I have a 7600GT, which is a fairly decent graphics card...and I don't have money to buy a new computer, which is what I'd rather do because I have such a low output psu

Tenny

Failure.

What is your PSU?

I bet you could easily run a 8800GT, or something like that. They are dirt cheap now days. I've been seeing them for $120 etc. Throw in a new graphics card, and new PSU (if yours is like 300watts). Mine is 420 watts, and I power a decent amount of crap in mine just fine. A 350 should probably be enough too.

mine is like 305 watts, and i'm wayyy too lazy to reroute a dell computer...that shit is retarded

Tenny
08.06.2008, 05:46.PM
Well you fail then. It's not hard I've torn into dells many times before. The 7600GT is a very low power GPU though, like 50watts under load. So yeah you'll need to get either a very low power gpu, or a new psu.

I just pre-ordered... though EA Store. I rather have Best Buy, but knowing best buy I'll probably receive the beta code like 3 weeks late.
