Also looking for the link to the turboboost, I think that's what its called... Lets your games access more RAM?

You'll get good settings, but not max.

I would guess more like medium settings......your gpu is under the recommended, according to your post.

Looks like I'm on the market for a new GPU...

How's this one

Newegg.com - XFX HD-687A-ZDFC Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

Or maybe something similar for under $160 USD.

Wait until it comes out to see.

I agree with Druid....you will know if it will be good enogh once you try the game.

DX9 game? Bet it requires half of that to play decent.
