Looking for specs and your gaming experience on your current graphics card in this game (670/680 specifically but curious about everyone else too).

Those of you who don't know the game it's a free third person shooter game on Steam.

I'm addicted to this game.

I used to play on a 470 and it ran just spiffy. It's not really that difficult to run.

I run a server on brutal onslaught while I play the game at 1080p with everything at its highest settings on the same system while I save demos with msi afterburner. Also, I will probably be installing ASBI mod on my server when it goes Version 1. Although I might get the beta version as well. ASBI swarms can be 40+ spawns at a time.

Easy to run? Meh.... On a few maps like the bridge with the massive swarms and with onslaught raging.... It can get a little epic and slow your system down. Most of the time the thing that kills your graphics card is that there are three other players in the server and they're on your screen shooting/killling/blowing up stuffs while you are.

cpu intensive maybe? even my 8600gt can average close to 60 fps on medium settings at 1280 so how can any decent card no run this game maxed?

It can be very cpu intensive with the server and all that especially.


Does no one run this game at its harshest settings/4 people/custom maps/etc?
 
Ran the hell out of it on a 560ti forever ago. Thought it was incredibly boring however.
 
Played max settings at 7680x1600 on a Core2Duo 3.0 Ghz and 5870 2GB @ 850/1200 and got 60FPS constantly. I always played with my friends.
 
There are a Billion custom downloadable maps now. No reason not to get into it these days. Lots of servers if you look right.
 
I played with a 480 and everything maxed graphically and gameplay wise, never had a problem I cannot imagine that a 670 would have any limitations or issues 300 fps.
 
I would not know exactly for sure, it has been a very long time, there could have been dips as with any game , but most of the time it was running solid. I believe I was using and i7 950 over clocked at the time.
 
Oh well I believe an I7 with a 480 could run it perfectly. And just about anything else at that.
