Not unless you crank down the resolution or are playing on a very small display which pretty much defeats the purpose of all that detail. I love building overclocked systems as much as the next PC guy, but seriously, you have to call BS when you smell it. A build that played very high settings, let alone mod extreme settings would require about a $200-300 CPU (a highly overclocked E8400 $165 CPU is about rock bottom for this performance level) and a $300 plus dual GPU VGA solution (at least the equivalent of a HD4870x2) for realistically playable frame rates (no less than 30 fps) at resolutions above 1680x1050 without turning off AA. |
Exactly. My PC is worth more than 700€ ($1000+)
My E8400 runs at 3.6GHz and my HD4890 is overclocked too, but there is no way I can set the resolution to 1900x1200 or 8x AA when everything else is on Very High.
Tried those extreme graphic configs and it was not playable (~20FPS)
