Just in case this can help others out there, medium and high runs fine on a Quad Core with GT 240 (which is lower end). FPS seems ok as it's nice and smooth. I think the Dell with a GT 220 should work well as well.sheepdogexpress wrote: ↑Not even medium I think. Low settings I would think.

Not much to go on, but the above it at medium settings.

Different game but similar fps, the 5450 is a third as fast as a 5670.
Seems like with medium you would get choppy FPS.

It's the videocard and high CPU clock speed, and that's what matter in the end for gaming.killoverme wrote: ↑I think my computer isn't the greatest but it plays sc2 on high easily...

yeah i just looked up my vid card, didn't know it was better then that one. I thought it was obsolete now lol. its in the top 35 still (based on some ranking) and that card is at 69Brewmeanie wrote: ↑It's the videocard, and that's what matter in the end.
That futureshop computer got all the cpu power and ram you would ever want, but if it doesn't have the videocard to quarterback it, it's still gonna fail miserably in games.
I can have a Dual Core Phenom II X2 555 running with 4gb of DDR2 RAM and a GTX 260 on vista, and it'll still outperform that 6 core desktop in Starcraft 2 easily.
