resolution is 1680*1050. AA doesn't seem to be working. not sure about AF. set Shaders to "Extreme." all other graphics settings are "Ultra" or "on." also set max sound quality and sound channels.
not exactly sure why video memory was not logged but I believe it can exceed 512 vid RAM usage on my stated settings (definitely did exceed 512 vid RAM usage when I was running at max replay speed which is Faster x6). would not be surprised if this is the reason why my framerate dipped to 0 on the single instance.
CPU: E8500 @ 4.1
Video Card: 4870 512 stock, Cat 10.2
OS: Windows XP
RAM: 4 GB
hope this information helps anyone looking to upgrade. replay didn't really have any huge battles. just Rickilicious rolling over people, so I might look for a replay that does a better job of stressing the system later.
