I can't answer the question for you. Just wanted to add my own experience with graphics. I have a HUGE problem with pixilation and aspects of the scene getting jumbled like the character being all stacked at the same spot or patches flickering back and forth to black during cinematics. And when I bought this computer, I paid a lot of money for the top of the line unit. BUT...LOL...that was 8 years ago. I am surprised it runs the game at all and I am ecstatic that it runs it well enough for me to actually be able to enjoy it. I cant wait to see what it is like when I upgrade.
