To be honest - SC2 was dated when it was revealed.

A 260 or 5770 and an Intel or AMD class equivalent to like a 2.5GHZ or so can blow the game out of the water.

Agreed. I don't have access to a lot of funds right now or I'd benchmark a 5670 on it. I'm almost positive that sub-$100 card could easily handle SC2 as it stands.

Dont have a key either, but would be interested to hear from people with similar specs (card in particular) if they've run into any issues.

The game runs well, 60FPS or 70 FPS, drops to 30-40 in bigger fights
my settings:
1920x1200 32bit
Everything ultra, except shaders which are set to extreme
Forced AAx2 and AFx2, plus Adaptive AA is enabled and set to quality
forced minimap set to optimal quality* same goes for standard settings
*in ati drivers that means the maxed forced quality settings
I am running on Q6600 at 3.3GHz, HD 4870 1GB OC'ed second box revision
4GB DDR2 800MHz, windows 7 64bit

Just wondering if your computers were store bought or built from scratch, trying to find a good computer to buy for Starcraft II.

Do you guys think this will run Starcraft 2 on ultra settings? In that case I'm ordering the computer right now ^^

[spychi]

if you are buying a stock made pc than it's probably overpriced
build the pc yourself

that config will max the game

the memory sucks though

Here's a SC2 benchmark.

I can play the game on high settings pretty well. But I get quite a bit of lag.

I have a P4 single core, and a NVidia GT 7300 graphics card I think.

SC2 is completely smooth for me except at certain high detail maps like Twilight Fortress where it has some frame rate jumps when the screen is busy but instantly smooths out. Other than that, hardly any frame rate loss. Hopefully optimization on release will fix those occasional frame jumps.

Using the built in FPS indicator, Ultra cuts the frame rate to almost half but the differences between Ultra and High are very minuscule.
