So who has it? And if you have it, what rig do you have, and what kind of results do you get when you use the benchmark tool.

I noticed, that when playing with 4 players, you usually don't get as much action going on in 1 screen as in the benchmark, so if you get a minimum of 20fps, and top out at 45 in the benchmark tool, you should be pretty save.

I've got a x2 3800+ @2.5ghz, 8800gts 320mb, 2gb of ram running at 333mhz lol. When tweaking I noticed some settings didn't make a difference, or at least not a noticable one. Like disabling soft shadows didn't do anything, which usually is pretty GPU intensive no?

One thing I did notice was texture qaulity, when set to medium, some things won't show, for example the helicopter that get's shot down last. Thats a bad thing, so I 'must' have it at high. Also water qaulity, low looks blegh, high looks good, nothing in between :p

It's dx10 too btw, but I installed it on XP, and threw away the client, dumb dumb dumb, but I'll redownload 2morrow, install it on Vista, and see how it runs. There are special beta drivers available for WiC dx10 btw, get them at nzone.com. I'll make screenshots in both, and we get to compare !
