    well not max, my quad core desktop with a 3850 cannot max at 1680x1050, if you run every thing at very(no ultra high) high @ 1024x768 and use 2XAA it should be smooth.

    thet should be fine too, just stay away from the ultra high settings, as there is no visible difference really and you take quite a large performance hit.

    I didnt check the frame rate, but I would assume that it was running between 20 and 45FPS, mostly at about 30 though.

    And yes, im very ATI friendly, Nvidia pisses me off with their drivers, price gouging, etc. My new desktop im building after Im rid of my 6831 will include an ATI card.

    Hmm.. that's why you're friendly. Desktop variants. The mobile versions have crap for driver support. :( know any good resource for modded drivers? and not mobility modder, but tweaked drivers.

    I have a T9300, the game ran smoothly at 1440x900, all very high (not ultra). But I haven't played the game in a while and the newer drivers supposedly yield performance improvements for this game.

    what about shadows at HIGH.

    That wont make a lot of IQ difference but the performance will jump a lot i think

    I was running it at all very high, no AA 1440x900. Didn't do a proper benchmark, but it looked smooth when playing.
