I would say quad core is a realistic minimum....every time I go back to a dual core it gets painful to load up the game (BC2) and get started whereas the quad core moves along quite nicely.

No upgrades planned here till maybe next year or thereafter. So fingers crossed that it'll be playable

I would agree. Quad-core for a min to have a decent frame rate and graphics. Hell, I bet my SPM and KDR went up a few points just because of upgrading my computer.

Wow, how much did you spend on that 980x?

**jakt** · 08-16-11, 05:59 PM

Athlon II X4 955
8GB of DDR3 RAM

I'll likely be upgrading to Bulldozer and possibly adding a second 5870 (at the right price) to my rig sometime in the not too distant future.
