I have a 3870 HD, similar to that. It runs about 20-30 frames at low and about 10-15 at medium.

Don't hold me to this but going off what problems ppl had it was mostly ATI reated issues plus there are better ati cards like the ati HD 4780 216 stream processors. I don't know if ati have released drivers that solve the problems that everybody has, but at the moe I'd say Nvidia is the way forward, but its up to you ;)

I agree, I would go for Nvidia, but make sure you get a 512mb 9600GT or higher.

What's the rest of your PCs specs?

I'm using

Intel® Core™ 2 CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz (2 CPUs)

2048MB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 512MB 9600 GT

With everything on low I get 25-35FPS.

I had problems when I first played the game but after the patch and new drivers (Catalyst 8.12) it worked fine.

Some kid on a CNC MP server said he spent $750 to play the game and the high settings still lag he got some Raedeon card and said Nvidia doesn't make good PCI-E x16 2.0 cards.

I wouldn't either since that's more than enough to buy a PS3 or XboX 360 and GTA IV for those from gamestop and play on those consoles.

Nvidia is best for gaming as gs said get a 9600 or a 9800. Ati are good cards but not as good for nvidia at gaming.
