    I have a feeling you're going to be CPU limited more than anything. Those explosion physics are killer.

    Look at Medium on WXGA+, and traffic, distances etc turned down. And that 8600 should be a 8800 GT. AND those are desktop cards and processors too.

    18GB hardisk space. That's quite a lot...

    Do you guys really trust in this recommendations? they said tombraider underworld needs a 9800GTX to run under recommended and I run the demo pretty well with my 9800GTS/9600GT 19080x1200 all max settings AAx4 AFx16, so i think this is bs , they need excuses to sell Quad for gamers thats what i think, gta should run flawless on 7811

    dont know why everyone is freaking out, i didnt say it could or couldnt max it, i think jumping to conclusions this early, when a game hasnt even been released, is slightly silly.
