Also you have two GPU's. I hope it would run smoothly.

I myself am planning on building a new computer in a month or so before the game comes out. Trying to figure out the GPU situation though :/ Can't decide on which on what to do. I will most likely be purchasing an ATI card. ($400 budget) So I am thinking if I should just get a 5870 right now or just wait and see if the 6k series comes out this fall.

One thing is for sure though. When I go back to this game, I want it to run flawlessly I need it to with all the recording I will be doing for the Youtube channel, XtremeGamingPresents.

Any ideas guys for the GPU? Thx
Eh, even with dual GPU's, I havent played in a few weeks, but with DX11 on before I could play with everything maxed except, reduced input lag. Like that running around the Worgen starting area I would mostly cruise around at 60 fps, but it could dip into the 40's sometimes, reduced input lag standing still I was at 60fps, but the instant I even moved, 15fps...

What I observed back then was, if you want to use dual videocard to their peak, you will need a monster CPU. My 6 core at the bone stock 2.8ghz puts my 2x 5850's to 99% usage, but at 3.5ghz, WoW was only pushing them to about 65% use, meaning my 6 core was a bottleneck... LOL
