Thanks mate.

And if you are hankering after performance then you will have to upgrade the PSU as well which has been mentioned. Unfortunately theres no way around it.

Even with Tri SLI and FXAA (Can't use TXAA) @ 1920x1200 it still dips below 60FPS. As I mentioned, it's very demanding on resources.

I believe there may also be a DX9 patch coming out too. Best investigate that yourself.

Vette, how about this... how about if you tell us what is your budget and we then can help you better?

Believe us, or at least me, I love playing Games and I usually do so at lower settings but there are times when you just can't enjoy a game because not only you are playing at extremely lower settings but you have to do so at extremely low Frames Per Second as well... is horrible, to the point of hating the game and the people around you instead of enjoying it.

Unfortunately, your PC is just a std pc, what I mean by that is... it is ok, or more than ok, for a regular household pc... ie: Browsing the internet, checking out the latest Youtube video, updating your facebook page, checking your emails on thunderbird or outlook.

What you want to do, playing C3 by getting away with a DX11 card only is like... going to the races with a VW bug that you have added nitro an expecting to be qualified for the finals against V8 cars.

Some one already also mentioned that C3 is very CPU demanding, and this is also true, aside from being very GPU demanding so, all you will accomplished is... waste money on the game and perhaps be able to start it but, forget about getting out safely on a firefight and progressing to the game... you will do so at crawling speeds or you will be dead before you can get your weapon ready.

Again, I may sound like I am trying to piss on your cheerios but that is not the case, on the contrary, I am perhaps trying harder for you not to waste your money.
