Oh no, my current video card doesn't meet the minimum requirements! I have a gtx 8600GT in my system at the moment (which performs worse than the 7800GT). ;-p

I'm surprised that the recommended specs are so low though. I have two old gtx 260's (216 core) cards sitting just sitting here. I didn't think one of them would be for "recommended settings" though as they released 4 years ago in 2008! (along with the AMD 4870)
