PlanetSide 2 ran on an GTX 670 at E3

[KTNApollo]

GTX 580 1920x1080...I have no doubts I'll be running this game at max settings once it's optimized.

Word has it they are developing on GTX580 SLI systems. I really hope they are working to minimize multi-gpu microstutter. I am about ready to pull the trigger on a new PC just for PS2, but need to take care of some things IRL before I can commit to that. Ideally a factory watercooled GTX690 is my first pick, but if EVGA doesn't make a GTX690 Hydrocopper, the plan will be to SLI a pair of GTX680 Hydrocoppers.

For my new build I am thinking i5-3570K(OC'd), 8GB ddr3@2400+, WC GTX690, 24~27" 120hz monitor (not sure if Benq or Asus yet), Z77 Motherboard (haven't picked one yet, will be Asus), and finally a Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240GB SSD. Think this will play PS2 ok?

My only concern is running out of texture memory on the GTX690 (only 2GB per GPU, what was Nvidia thinking!!). I think PS2 may play fine initially with only 2GB, but what about 3 years from now when they have added a ton of new textures (for $1200 I would really like my GFX Card to be more future proof).

Remember, 5 year olds PCs are ment to run the game.

Good to hear. I'm planning on replacing my 6870 with a 670 GTX to run my new 5760x1080 setup.

This title looks to be squarely in the nVidia camp. Good thing Kepler now supports 3 monitors.

When PS came out I did it for about 4 years.

Ahh sweet music to my ears.

I knew switching out my Radeon HD 5970 for a GeForce GTX 680 for Planetside 2 was a good idea

With NVIDIA PhysX being in the game (albeit the software/ CPU version) the game was bound to draw in some NVIDIA driver optimisation / smoothness.

I feel quietly smug about my decision

Unless you are lagging or studering around. There is no such thing as being rolled by the "Rich boys".

Five years ago, there was only Geforce 8 line, I know i bought a 8800GTS 640MB then, it was the second fastest thing. And i still got it, i hope it will run at 1024*768 min. graph, well

Running 2 of those (550ti) in SLI and hope it works well enough until next tax season to upgrade.

[Bokkaveli]

I currently run Tribes Ascend on Max settings with my Geforce GTS 250 1024 mb card with 4GB's of RAM...so hopefully it can handle PS2.

Anybody think I'll have issues running it?

[MrBloodworth]

I think its to early to know what will run it. Typically, they scrape data during the beta, when they can profile lots of configurations.

Maybe normal settings, but I'm talking high end settings.

[MrBloodworth]

Most minimal requirements are: "Hay, it booted up...."

[Raymac]

Well now I know what I need to save up for.
