Considering that it's not out yet and that I haven't seen the actual requirements it's tough to say. I would be very very surprised if the 9800 GTX's couldn't handle so of course my beast of a GTX 295 should be able to own it. I'm not too familiar with ATI's cards though I'm sure their upper end cards should be able to handle it no problem. IW seems to always be very cautious about making a game that needed to much from a system. So I'm sure even lower end cards will be fine.
considering MW2 uses basically the EXACT same engine with no real graphic improvements, yes. My old ati 9800 256 mb could max the game roflDr_Brocoli
True. Since games these days are made with consoles in mind, you can expect no real significant graphical development until the next generation of consoles. Therefore, I'd say you'd be pretty safe with a decent $100 card out there.

true they have them at work and they pack some punch on older games and just DOMINATE red alert 3.
Might as well, even though I believe the 8800 series of cards are about 3 years old now they are still very nice cards that can play any game on the market with decent settings
...Taking an educated guess I'm going to say if you want a smooth experience.
Dual Core 2.2 and above. A single core could be pushing it.
1GB (2GB Vista)
Nvidia8800 Series or 2900 ATI Series. 256mb memoryreq, 512mb recconmended
Approx 10GB for HDD.
Thats a guess of course going off the differences between COD4 and WAW although you have to factor in Infinity is a much better dev than Treyarch. Regardless the better the components the better the game should run.
Hopefully my 8800GTS 512 card will handle MW2. If not guess I'll have to settle for lower res and graphic options. But I think they manage to optimize most Call of Duty games pretty well for the PC. Modern Warfare played fine on my computer, in fact I maxed it. So fingers crossed come November!
You have to remember a lot of these games are being produced first on the ps3/360 and being ported to PC, any midrange card should be able to handle the graphics and make them look as good or better than the console versions. You shouldn't have to worry about your GPU if you have an 8800 series card for any multi plat until the new generation unless it is built first for the PC, or any game in general unless it's PC exclusive.
