Please define: "can I play with these settings"
It always depends on how many frames per second (fps) you expect in order to play well.


Anyway, the answer is no.
You need to change the "gtx560 ti 1gb" into a gtx560 ti 2Gb

The rest will be enough.

He is only planing on playing at low resolution therefore a 2gb card isnt likely needed. Note he said 1440x900 resolution so a 512 mb might be enough at that resolution lol

If you are buying the power source, get one that will work for the best video card that you might upgrade to in the future, might save you some $ or just make an upgrade later palitable.

I'm playing on similar PC without problems on 1600 resolution, online.
You just need to OC 2500k a bit, because sim is processor dependent.

You can maybe consider 2GB card to be futureproof, but for now you dont need it.

@Athos you are running very high resolution

thanks for your replies, i was considering to buy the version of 2gb, but if the price is to high i will stand on the 1gb, i turn some things off and it will be playable at 30 fps, or sometingh right?

I don't think its smart buy a PC now at all! You have Nvidia and AMD coming out with new vid cards. You also have Ivy bridge coming out in a few months as well. Not much is going on with this game online atm so I'd wait.

True but they are always coming out with newer chips!

The answer is yes.



Check the price differential between the 560ti 1Gb and 2Gb.
It should NOT be that much.

Something important: It is worthwhile to check which version of 560ti you are buying!
The newer 560ti have 448 CUDA cores (shaders). This is almost the level of the 570GTX.
Older 560ti only 384 CUDA cores (shaders)

So, when you compare prices, make sure you compare the 560ti with the same number of cores (shaders).

ok i will cannot buy the newer graphics cards so i need to buy that, and please, i have one more question, i will get te 2GB version, but its de GTX560 (whitout the TI) can anyone tellme if is a good choice change te GTX560TI for the GTX560 2GB?

[vranac]

I think that 560 Ti is better choice then plain 560.
You wil get 60+ fps most of the time.l

Check ther number of CUDA cores (shaders) the card you mention has....
As I mentionned, there is difference even between 560ti and 560ti...

[il_corleone]

ok, there are a diference in 50 "cudas" so i think i will ge the TI version, i need to talk whit the "trader" thank for all of you, much thanks i like be in a comunnity like this :)

[Bewolf]

I was about to buy the 560ti myself, but ended up with a 570. It was only 50€ more expensive then the 2GB version of the 560, with much more power.

[il_corleone]

finally i will buy the GTX560IT 2GB , i think it will be good for playing the game decent at 1440x900 in medium/low settings

[SEE]

You will be able to play at High settings in SP!

I only use Med settings for MP (on-line) and my PC is not as good as yours!
