This is what it says on my system data: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.5 GHz Ram: 2 gb but I could easily replace it to 3 gb if that would make the difference And I think this is my video card Mobile Intel® GM965 Express chipset featuring the Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 thanks if anyone can help me out | ||

It seems from what i've read (legionhardware review) that the extra cores, cache and even clock (when overclocked) of the i7-980x would really benefit sc2 alot. I'm not saying that sc2 would actually use all 6 cores, but from their review it seems clear that more cores DOES make a difference, even though it doesnt full utilize all the cores. lol srsly? you don't need a cpu anywhere NEAR this powerful to max out sc2 what's your video card? why are you so sure you're bottle necked with an E8500? Are you over clocking? | ||

With the Intel GMA 4500, it runs from maybe 5-25 fps on lowest at 1280x800. It goes into slideshow-mode fps levels whenever anything noteworthy is happening on the screen. I don't think you'd want to play with your laptop, although somebody else may have a different opinion. | ||

 ! Not only is your GPU weak, your CPU is also below the safe threshold. Xaanix, the E8500 does not bottleneck your machine. You have a bottleneck elsewhere because the E8500 is still an amazingly capable machine. | ||

Just LOL As said i have an E7400 which is an average of 3-4% slower in videogames than your E8500 still i can play everything on Ultra 1680x1050 maxed out quality settings ingame and on ATI Drivers with 33 FPS average (27fps lowest) on a medicore Radeon4870 1GB. and 4GB DDr2 ram using Vista64 What specs do u have besides E8500 and what fps does "fraps" report ? | ||

 ), which is the highest resolution you can get for sub $200. 1680x1050 (16:10) seems to be popular as well. I plan on getting an ASUS 1920x1080. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236074 Pplusad: An ATi HD 4870 1GB should be getting more than 33FPS average... I would expect at least 50 FPS from that card in SC2 at your resolution ....? | ||

It was probably around 3-4 fps but the fact that it was able to run the game is just amazing, now i don't have to worry one bit about my computer back home being able to run SC2. | ||

i3 2 Ghz 4 gig DDR3 1680 resolution Ultra FPS stays between 57-62 usually. One time with lots of carriers on a 4 player game dropped to like 52 lowest. | ||

Mediocre Graphic Card ? You gotta be kidding me... the 4870 is one of the best graphic card you can get around right now... It just doesn't support DX11 but it doesn't matter since most games right now aren't really full DX11 yet... | ||
