I haven't tried the demo, but the full game runs...well... not too well. On my Opteron 180 and 8800GTS, it was laggy as hell. I even put in my 9800GTX and gave it a go and it still was laggy. The game is just flat-out laggy.
i was thinking of getting gothic 3 - i have heard some people say its better than oblivion and i like that well enough. i can put up with a little slowdown
No, not way better it lags in certain parts of the game and it has lots of bugs and different problems. It runs better than the demo but not too good, if i were you i would wait for the expansion maybe they will release a special edition Gothic 3+ Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods. I hope that the expansion will solve most of it's problems, making it a very good game. ( yea it is better than Oblivion but not as good as Gothic 2 :()
A great CPU as well as a strong graphics card are required to play this game. At least that's my impression. I've seen some youtube vids that run the game at a steady framerate, higher than mine with a good core2duo. My AMD ( runs the game like ass.
The game is a system-hog. It is very good, but the optimization sucks.
I think that the only thing that lets the game down is the combat system, you should not be able to spam attack a monster or vice versa, and you should be able to block any type of creature you are fighting (obviously not ones that are 10x larger / more powerful, but stuff like the boars0.
