No, we need super fast CPU. If I turn down everythig possible even then I can´t get 60FPS steady over land. And that is i5-2500K 4,7GHz with GTX480. Maybe the Ivy bridge will be even better overclockable than sandy bridge. Who knows

even if you build your own gaming computer to save money you have to spend at least $2,000 USD to play on higher settings along with at least $40 or more per month for a decent Internet connection...

pretty expensive to get 50 fps...

myself, my old crappy computer plays on medium settings,, it's just at the point where is is enjoyable, but wonder what I am missing in CLOD..

Is 1600x900 considered HD...or does that only begin with 1920x1280?
