trog do you make it a point to be deliberately mean to the people who post here. This man is having a problem, and htis problem is making him unhappy. I've got 7 computers 2 3500 venices, 2 4800 x2's, and 3 3800's. the 3500's have x850's, the x2's have x1900xtx, the 3800's have sli 7800gtx. It just so happens that i have the same issue. i get crap with the x1900's and i get good perf. with the 7800, and the x850's actually do really well at lower res with a few cutbacks on the quality. This man has limited time, limited funds, and limited patience. So why berate him with your crap. He probably didn't know that the game was 100% graphix based, which btw it isn't. hence it needs a decent processor. and from my experience you are right as long as you got 2ghz or more it's good. But he doesn't know that. Perhaps limiting how much of and a$$hole your gonna be on this forum will help you a bit. He's askin the internet world of computer games, enthusiast and just plain old geeks for help why don't you do just that. Ok
