That was very wishful thinking on Oleg's part, they are having to take a lot out of the game at the moment (optimising) to get the thing to run. Just like with Il2-sturm Cliffs Of Dover is going to utilize CPU power far more than GPU. Personaly I would wait until the issues are resolved with the Sandy bridge CPU, get a pre overclocked bundle to 4.8Ghz, this game is going to need everything you can throw at it.
