I use an 8800gts 320mb and the game played well on medium maxed out and on high without shadows. I had a little more lag on 5/10 but nothing that created a huge headache.

"My soul finds rest in God alone: My salvation comes from Him."

I have a 8800GT 512 card, and had max settings with about 30-60fps. On the PVP event however I had about 20fps, lowered the shader and had 30-40 again. You can't just expect a graphic card to do all the dirty work though, everything in the computer ties together. If you have a high end card, but a single-core cpu or somethings its going to bottleneck and you will still see the lag.

I have 2 Geforce 8800GT cards setup using SLI. I was able to run on full settings in many areas, but had to turn down the graphics in some spots like Tarantia.

I have also tried the game before I used SLI, but had to run it at considerably lower settings. I think with one 8800GT you can run it in most locations without problems at medium settings. Just don't turn on bloom or AA.

Sorry did not use medium settings as the game was quite enjoyable on high settings.  8800gtx.  My FPS was between 40-70.

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.

nVidia 8600GT. All settings on high with bloom off, shadows off and shaders set to 2.0. View was 2500m-3000m. Ran fine with a generally consistent 20-25fps.

I haven't tried it with the latest beta drivers as I was working out some driver crashes not game related. I used the December 07 drivers for the above.

I only saw 40-60FPS a couple of times for half a minute or so at a time but trully I had a decent time at 20-25 (other than in a  group which is a known issue.)

8800gt 1024MB, core 2 Duo 8400, 8 Gig Ram, Vista64.

I did run DX9 high settings whatever this is (I didnt check in detail, DX10 not available). Gfx were smooth enough for me (30+ fps), some hickups, some texture loading (or whatever)  when entering levels/ rooms.
