That thread has turned into a god awful mess. It's much more organized here:

So matas, when you heard the game needed to have SM3 and you know you have only 2, why are you surprised that the game doesn't work? An Nvidia card wouldn't work if it was SM2 either... it has nothing to do with the brand. It's your fault you didn't get an SM3 card, not ATIs fault at all. You'll need a new card to play the way it was meant to be played. It's called 'upgrading' and it's an essential part of PC gaming.
