Can I run it?

I've been really enjoying BC2 on the 360, but I have quite a lot of pc gamer friends and would like to play with them. I'm just wondering how well my pc will be able to handle it? My specs are 8800GT 512MB AMD 6000+ 3.0GHZ dual core 3gb ram windows xp My monitor resolution is 1920x1080, which I imagine will be a big…

I've been really enjoying BC2 on the 360, but I have quite a lot of pc gamer friends and would like to play with them. I'm just wondering how well my pc will be able to handle it?

My specs are

8800GT 512MB
AMD 6000+ 3.0GHZ dual core
3gb ram
windows xp
My monitor resolution is 1920x1080, which I imagine will be a big factor.

I dont wanna be chugging around with 20 fps, I cant stand playing in anything below 30-40. Would like to be able to run it at pretty decent settings. The canyourunit website says my pc meets the minimum requirements, but I've heard quite a few fps horror stories this past few weeks.

Any help appreciated!

Providing you'll have no network issues, you'll run it no problem, though with only XP you won't get the full benefit of the DX11 graphics (DiCE say that it's really just a shadow/lightening enhancement).

Useful thread here.

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure his card doesn't support DX11 anyway so even if he had vista/win 7 he'd only have the DX 10 version at best.

EDIT: You probably meant DX 10 as that's not on XP...:o

Well dont want to be "Negative Ned" here but he will run it but not NO PROBLEM.

You will have to lower the settings in game as you are running a fairly high res with a medium spec card at best, to get the FPS up to where you find acceptable, but it would be worth it. You have an old CPU and the GPU has seen better days....but you will have to sacrifice a little and you will gain alot....as its great on the PC.

Thanks for the info. I might try and get the loan of my friends steam account and see how it runs to be sure.

Thats beta ...the game is performing allot better since beta

With my old specs (Dual core 3.6ghz , GTX 285 , 8GB Ram) I was getting 30-40 FPS with low settings in beta. Now with new i7 4ghz everything on high 90+ FPS.
