Using our 'Performance' settings, we ran 9 different video cards through the benchmark. We used the rest of the same hardware as previously described.

You will probably want to aim at maintaining 60 FPS in this game. This chart should give you some idea of what resolution you should be able to handle to achieve a decent framerate. With the 'Performance' settings and a Core 2 Duo CPU, anything faster than a 7600 GT should be able to handle 60 FPS at 1024x768 with no difficulty. At 1280x1024, you'll probably require a high-end card from the previous generation of GPUs (X1900+, 7900+) or better to consistenly achieve a framerate around 60. 

Let's see what kind of GPU you need to handle the game with all the settings cranked...
