Wait.... some people must have some really poor settings or staring at some walls when they get these 60 fps claims. I've run the game on a Phenom II 940+ATI 5970 @ 1680x1060, i7 980X+2x nVidia GTX480M @ 1920x1080 and 2x Xeon X5680+2x AMD 5970 @ 1920x1200 and 2560x1600, I think the only time I could get stable 60.... was never. It would always dip at some point. And Sandy Bridge will have a performance boost over any of those listed.
