    Hey guys,

    I already posted in the can i run it thread. Not really helpful. I can't find a key anywhere anymore and i don't wannt pre-order since i might not even be able to play the game lol. So i'm asking if anyone with a rig similar to the one in my sig (E6700, single 7950gtx) has played the beta, and their experience. If its at least playable on medium settings at like 1440 resolution, i'll probably still buy it. Thanks a bunch to whoever helps.

    Well i play with the one in sig, p8700 (2.5ghz), 260gtx, and i get from 19-30fps @1680x1050, with a mix of medium and low settings.

    This game wrecks laptops. You really need a quadcore and a good desktop card 280+ to play on anything medium settings and up at a constant 45+ fps.

    Interesting, I wonder if the game is simply very intensive or is it due to poor optimisation. I will give this one a try when I receive my 1.73 Ghz i7 paired with the GTX 285M. I bet even that will struggle.

    I'm hearing alotta tech nerd friends telling me that it probably really won't work right now in the beta cause of optimization. But two good things, is that apparently changing the settings to use Dx9 helps a lot. And that the optimized version will be much more playable than the beta... fingers crossed
