I can still pretty much max out every game currently available with my HD 3870 (except for Crysis on Very High - I use High). I am planning in the future to get either two 9800 GTX+'s or a single GTX 260 Core 216 (possibly 2, depending on where I stand financially at that point). My EVGA nForce 750i FTW just arrived today with a free 250gb Seagate HDD for only $139.99 after 30 dollar rebate! I am currently using: EVGA nForce 650i Ultra, Intel E8400 3.0Ghz, 4gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800, ATI HD 3870 512mb, 80gb HDD.
ninty57: It wouldn't run at all even on medium settings. A lot of people think that the 8400/8500 cards are strong because they are a part of the Geforce 8000 series, but they really aren't. They're the low budget cards of that generation. Consider an upgrade or you won't be playing this game.
