8500GT with 512MB?  I've not seen one of those.

Your PC should run it smoothly, with medium settings based on what  I've seen out of Oblivion.  I wouldn't say High Settings, even tho I'm sure your PC would take on Oblvion at High, I think AoC will be a little more resource hungry then Funcom is letting on.

Any DX10 card under a 8800 or 2900xt is not going to do this game justice at all.

I doubt I'll be playing in DX10 for a while.  Just don't have the money for the Cards I want.

Before I cry BS on your statement, are you talking about doing the game justice on DX10, or overall?

I think he's talking about the cards won't be powerful enough to do the game justice. TBH even with SLI the performance on DX10 games is lackluster at best. I forgot which site it was that did a real world test with Lost Planet but the average FPS were coming out at 30 with a £2500 system. :(

i tried lost planet dx10 by myself (only the demo) but there had been a benchmark in it.

everything on high 24 frames and with shadows at low 90 fps ... it runs really smooth without shadows

and im sure your pc will handle aoc with good settings you have to think out of the developer side.

they can't produce a game that needs at least a e6400. 8800gts, 2 gig ram because there are MANY MANY

people who got lower pc's and they have to aim for specs like p4 3ghh, gf6000 series 1gig ram

I just finished Lost Planet yesterday and I think it's badly coded but probably gives a good idea if your computer can handle AoC DX10.

I played with quite high settings and fps was "quite" ok with high settings except in HDR I had to put medium and shadows aswell, played in 1680x1050 resolution. Can't OC that well in my current computer case, getting new soon... :)

I totally agree... I suspect AOC isn't going to run very well on older boxes.... which will be true of most games going forward .....
