SC2 is probably going to be in the Geforce 8800+ realm, but nobody knows yet.

For Starcraft II, we wanted to maximize compatibility with less capable systems to ensure hassle-free game play for as broad a player base as possible. Yet we also wanted to utilize the full potential of any available hardware to ensure the game's looks were competitive. This meant supporting a wide range of hardware, from ATI Radeon 9800/NVIDIA GeForce FX's to the ATI Radeon HD 4800s and NVIDIA GeForce G200s

Also, Blizzard have decided to make the game GPU-heavy, so a decent graphics card is a better investment than a CPU.

It doesn't look mindblowing in the videos, I'm sure setting everything to low will allow even older PCs to play it.

DoW2 looks better than SC2 tbh.

They said the same thing about WoW, but Blizzard have an entirely different idea of what "playable framerates" are.

Of course, if you are running on the minimum system requirements you can't expect much of a pleasant experience but it may be enough to play it in single player or watch a couple of replays.

However, it is always good to know if the game is GPU or CPU-heavy if you intended to upgrade before the game is out.

Minimum requirements on WoW will score you around 5fps in most of the game. =X

Yep, solo questing and never go into a major city is the way to play it :)

I was so sure this would be monkey business :(

atom, take a guess.. integrated graphics..

it runs cod4 with 30fps
