So I haven't upgraded my PC in a couple years because back when I did it was pretty good. Now I downloaded the demo and found myself at medium quality as opposed to ultra high in DAO.

My questions are:

1) With the settings below, will I be able to run the game at high settings or will I have too low a framerate to pull it off?

Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU     E8500  @ 3.16GHz
Clock Speed: 3166 MHz 
Physical Memory: 3.24 GB   
Display Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
VRAM: 896 MB
                                 
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
DirectX 9.0c (Jun2010) or later

2) I've been reading that you will need DirectX11 to run the game at the higher quality, which leads to a two part question....

A) Is there DX11 for Windows XP?
Will buying Windows 7 and installing it allow me to play at high settings, or does my hardware hold me back more then the OS?



Thank you guys,

A: Nope

B: Afraid you'll need a graphic card update as well - the GF 260 is DX10 only, not Dx11.



- You could always take the opportunity to grab a new computer

- Intel recently released new processors and mainboard (P67 - intel socket 1155) so a decent time to update.

You could pick up the gts 450 card...I have one myself...might get another for sli soon....but even with one I can play at decent settings in dx11...and the card is only about 100 bucks...maybe less now on tigerdirect and as always...more ram never hurts...lol

DirectX 10 cards support some features of DirectX 11. High settings are possible on DirectX 10 class hardware. I tried it.

I suggest replacing your CPU and graphics card both. Your ram is fine. Upgrade your operating system.
You'll be good to go.

You can install DX11 on Vista.

I run windows 7 64bit system with an E8400 cpu and a HD4770 gpu, and I played it on high settings perfectly. I don't think he needs to upgrade his cpu at all (for this game at least). Both of us could do with a gpu upgrade it's true, and he really needs to ditch XP.
