@kris, it depends on what resolution and what framerate is "playable" for you

HD2600 isnt much stronger than the recommended 7900GT plus its vRAM limited with only 256mb framebuffer

@ardeeon, so what if you cant run ultra high settings? id rather have fluid gameplay than ultra high image quality but choppy framerate, at any rate, you can crank up to the highest settings you can and judge yourself if its smooth/playable or not, then try lower settings and see which "plays" better for you, at a point where there is no noticeable difference between the lowest setting and the highest setting (in smoothness) then id settle for that

remember, no point playing at high settings when its choppy and the framerate is erratic, its no fun, besides once you get past the wow part of the graphics, youd be concentrating on the gameplay anyway

ONe thing I reccomend you guys try if you have a pretty good videocard (say 9600GT or HD3870 and above) is Anisotropic Filtering ..the option isnt there in game but you can force it via your card's control panel
can you tell which ones are with AF at 16x and which one is OFF?

whose tpam? anyway, let me clarify that my intention in saying "so what if you cant run ultra high settings? id rather have fluid gameplay than ultra high image quality ......" was that for you not to mind in the event that you cant run at ultra high coz the game in itself is good even if the graphics isnt maxed out

It should run decently provided you do not max out the details and set very high resolutions, your card falls between the minimum and recommended so try to tone down the settings if you encounter laggines

avoid AA if possible

guys! just bought the game and it worked fine..like 30 fps.. just like wicked waway suggested, i didn't use AA..

player details=ultra high
crowd=medium
sideline char=medium
shader=high
texture=high
depth of field=off
reflection=on
vsync=off

any suggestions on how to increase my fps? except for lowering the player and crowd details? :lol:
