I think your GT440 is going to fall short for this game. According to my chart, that card pushes about 300 GLFLOPS and the cards the developers are calling min spec is about 500 GFLOPS.

That being said, you have a quad core which is what you really need so try it and see.

Thanks guys for the info. Given my system specification do you guys have a video card you would recommend. I picked the GT440 last year for World of Tanks and because it did not take alot of power (no extra power connection). I worrry if I got with a much bigger video card I am going to have to upgrade my power supply also.

ETA: I have a 350 Watt Power Supply

this is not official but any of these should work

you will more than likely need to increase your power supply to at least 450W

Yeah... most 6-pin video cards require more than 500W total... I used the recomended specs as as excuse for a system upgrade... I would suggest teh same in your case :-)

Your video card looks to be under spec, but I would recommend trying it when the game comes out. If it struggles to keep up, then invest in a little bit better power supply and a nice video card. You could do so now, but in 2-3 months tech may be better / cheaper for the same performance... and it *may* turn out that you don't need it at all, but I suspect you will.

Thanks a bunch guys for all the feedback and info guys. I will probably wait and give it a try and then upgrade to a new computer in the end. I have been looking for a good excuse to get and i5 or i7 and move up to Windows 7.

Thanks

My main pc will run no problem, but my laptop's a couple years old. Will this work?
