A thought about Cliffs of Dover....

When I first was trying out CloD, I had a Geforce 9800 GT with 512 of RAM, I could just barely run it on mostly low settings and it ran okay but the terrain looked like something out of a 1996 flight sim, it was simply not enough and I had a hard time seeing landing areas and targets.

After a while of that, I switched to a Radeon 7770 with 2GB of ram, that was the magic bullet and it seems to work much better now and medium/high settings (granted, I run at 1280-1024 due to my smallish monitor).

It seems like we are now getting to a point where the GPU needed to run this sim is becoming cheap enough for most gamers to own one, that might have been part of the problem for some players.

Well i'm certainly in no rush to upgrade now! BoS is over a year away, who knows what will be available then, and any graphics card you buy now will either be obsolete, or half the price.
Upgrade if you need it now, not for something in the future.
