    What graphics card is good for this game?

    Running Windows 7 64x.

    I'm not sure what information you would need... but what's a good graphics card? Can run on lowest settings... but want at least standard. lol.

    Something like a HD6850 or GTX550 works for this game to play on high settings. Those cost about 140 bucks. Your PSU needs to be powerful enough though(at least 400W).

    HD 6850 definitely for anyone wondering as well... Extreme performance especially for its price ... Still around the 12th best card out there! Crazy for such a low price^^ Can easily get 30-60 fps with everything on depending on other specs as well of course

    Edit : All settings max which include Depth of field on and 1080p res minimum... not counting ambient, even if you can run well with it on any build it's not worth the ludicrous hit it has on your pc xD Otherwise, everything maxed^^ I run this game with a crappy 1055t processor also and get a easy 60 fps btw >.< Don't listen to people who say you need a i7 for this game o.<

    With passmark tests and good overclocking the 6850 is actually rated about 5 or 6th on the high end scale... same thing in 3dmark.

    Even stock it is still maybe 7th... 13th is much worse.

    How would I find out information on my PSU?

    Computer illiterate, sorry. ^^; Thank you for the response however!

    Also, which is better? HD6850 or GTX550? The former is pushing $160 and the latter is $140. So I'm curious as to what your input would be.

    The output power rating should be somewhere written on the PSU. And the HD6850 is definately a good 25% faster. The only advantage the nVidia card has is the hardware-PhysX support. But after some thinking I would recommend a GTX460 over the GTX550 if you need the PhysX support.

    If you are looking for a very good performance:cost ration, I suggest a GTX460. I have one with 768mb of GDDR, and most come with 1024mb of GDDR5. I spent about $120 on mine, but that was last September or October. On an i5 w/ 4gb of RAM that lets me run at General Draw Quality 8, Ambient Occlusion off, all other settings maxed. Full screen or windowed 1080p.

    460 GTX will demolish the 550 GTX Ti. Should be a little cheaper as well as much better. Grab the 1GB Version if you can. You wont regret it.

    Betting you that your 768MB 460 GTX is out of V-Ram and tapping into the 4GB of ram to keep that up unless your not running AA. My 560 GTX Ti @ 1440x900 Windowed mode with 8xQ MSAA 10 general drawing, 5 background drawing, highest shadows, high texture and highest texture filtering bring it to around 988MB of V-Ram.

    If it is, not like the ram is being used for anything else.
