Also helps to add this to your startup/launch options (-norestrictions -noprecache -novblank -nomemrestrict -percentvidmem 100)Ĭurrently I run a AMD Phenom II Quad Core at 3.4ghz (tho any decent quad core that's above 3-3.2ghz should be be fine), 12 gb of ram (tho 4-8 is still plenty.
The trick oddly enough is increasing the settings/effects, so it actually engages your graphics card more, since it's rather cpu bound by default. Optimization wasn't necessarily the best at launch, but these days with a decent pc you can get this game running beautifully, and the patches it received certainly improved that as well.
