4 year old gaming computer , XPS 3.0 quad, 6 gigs of ram, 1- 9800 GTX. All settings max except shadows which I have set at zero. Btw, Shadows are a definite FPS killer, jes saying. Now not saying folks are not having issues, but I'm having none of those issues on a less powerful rig then some folks have. I don't know what that means either but wanted to report what I have seen.
