That will run any game on high for live... xD

I might get a new video card this holliday season, but not for DAO.

[LaztRezort]

I'm going to see how the game runs first, with a crappo NVidia 9500 (which is the only weak point). If it lags too much, or looks too bad, I'll upgrade the card. Otherwise, I'll just live with it.

I might get a GTX3 this holiday season...

[ByblosHex]

I'm going to play the game on Max settings on my 2 yr old PC.

[GhoXen]

I upgraded to:

AMD Phenom II x4 965 3.4Ghz

2x2GB DDR3-1600 Corsair Dominator GT CL7

MSI HD5870 1GB + 8800GTS 640MB



It should be able to handle this game and hopefully at least games two years into the future on high/max.

Hmmm. I have a Radeon 4850 1GB waiting for me to pick it up on Monday. I didn't specifically get it because of DOA, but with gettting DOA and having bought some other higher grachics games I found a really good deal on it and just didn't want to pass it up.

I'm in the same boat as you (I think my card's a little better) and I have a lot of patience for lag. (Right now, my computer can run The Witcher and Assassin's Creed with minimal lag, but it still shows a bit.)

I think I can survive without an upgrade.

I'm upgrading my computer a few days after release, but not because of Dragon Age. Our office computer died so we're getting a new computer there... which gives me an excuse to upgrade and give my parents my replaced parts.



Which brings me so something I've been wondering about. I'll have a fresh computer once upgraded (new hard drive + OS), so would I be able to download characters tied to my account once I reinstall Dragon Age or would I have to find the save file? I'm sure I could download them, but I wanna double check.

The cool part about this (for me), is that months down the road, when I DO upgrade my card, I'll be able to turn up the settings on the game, and get to experience it at a whole new level.  At least, that's what I tell myself to make me feel better.

As for The Witcher, I think my computer plays Crysis (the first one!) smoother than that one, for whatever reason.

Crysis is a highly optimized and effecient FPS game with very little CPU usage.

The Witcher is a very complex, CPU heavy game with many many more caluclations and variables being used as well as being on an outdated engine being pushed beyond it's intended limitations.

Gonna call bull**** on the dual video cards, one Nvidia and one ATI from completely different generations.

I have the 9600 GT w/ 1024mb and is 1 yr old and running pretty strong with no lag, the 9500 can't be that much weaken can it?

It's possible to use two completely different video cards on the same motherboard, if you're using two monitors.

I dunno much about comparisons, but I do know that I usually have to opt out of anything over 2x anti-aliasing, and forget about ansitropic filtering and advanced shader effects, to get good frame rates on any modern game.  Older games I often have to drop the resolution (but that's to be expected on older engines).  Of course, I also have no idea if those graphic options make much subjective difference to my experience, either.
