Can I run it?

[Believer]

I checked my results for my computer at http://www.canyourunit.com

I pass everything for the minimal and almost everything for Recommended except the "CPU Requirements" and the "Video Card" (even though it shows 2.2GB of Video RAM).

My specs:

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ 3.0 GHz
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
4.0 GB RAM
NVidia GeForce 8800 GT 512-MB (video Card)


My question is - do you think this thing will run fairly well on my PC? I want to be able to run it without setting it all to Lowest.

Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks guys!

Yes you can run it. Saltychipmunk (from tf2, or my roomate) has the same video card and can run BBC:2 on high settings. Not sure on the CPU but you should have no problems with it. It's a great game so you definitely should get it.

I do know that a duel core processor with this game is a huge road block. The game has great sound, but instead of using the computers sound card it uses the CPU. With a quad core all cores are used during game play, but it really helps out.

Thanks Altec. Pepper - does your Salty have a Quad-core or dual-core CPU?

The only thing that will hold you back, as everyone has said, is the dual-core processor you are rocking in that setup. Despite its high clock speed (3.00GHz), it just doesn't have the power of a quad-core setup.

The video card will be fine. You will load up quickly and should be able to get pretty decent framerates on medium settings. I run an 8800GTX+ XLR8 Performance Overclock and I get ~150fps on low (but i couldn't care less about what my game looks like).

You'll be fine even with the dual core, with a Quadore you dont even come close to maxing out the cores. On a decent dual core you'll still get equal performance just a bit higher cpu utilization, just check out some performance reviews and you'll see for yourself.

Alright guys, thanks for the help. I think I'm going to go ahead and do it!

I run flawlessly on high settings with a Core2Duo E8400 (3Ghz clock), 4GB RAM, and a 8800 GTS 512

Awesome - thanks!

It will be a really good decision. Battlefield Bad Company 2 is definitely a great game and the fun dudes in the division make it even better. See ya in the servers!

I have played and really enjoy it, though it is totally crazy realism compared with TF2. Look forward to collecting some tags.
