I'll start this by saying: Generally you want to have a fair amount over event the recommended specs to play a game at it's best possible graphic/performance level. Agree? Okay that being said....
Did anyone notice the system requirements Here?l I honestly don't think I've ever seen a "required" vs "recommended" gap that big.
Required. Geforce 8800
Recommended: Geforce 660
Generally the required and recommended are reasonably close to each other. An 8800 was released what? I don't even know I bought my 470 GTX 3 years ago used, replacing my "9600." I had for a couple of years prior to that. An 8800 has to be a nearly 10 year old card. So required is a 10 year old card but recommended is a card released in the last year or so? lol just sayin...
