Ok, so i'm getting a new PC and i was wondering if it would run Gears of war. Here is what my PC offers:

Processor Type Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600Processor Speed 2.40GHzRAM 3072MB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAMHard Drive 640GB (2 x 320GB) SATA 7200RPMOptical Drives 16X LightScribe Dual Layer DVD BurnerGraphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS 256MBAvailable Expansion Bays 1 x 3.5", 1 x 5.25"Available Expansion Slots 1 x PCICache 2 x 4MB L2Disk Drive NoFax/Modem 56K V.90I/O Ports See The Features SectionIncluded Software See The Features SectionMonitor Included? NoNetwork Card 10/100/1000Mbps, Wireless 802.11 b/gOther Control Devices Keyboard, Optical Mouse, RemotePreloaded Operating System Windows Vista Home PremiumSound Card High Definition AudioSpeakers NoSystem Bus 1066MHz

I was just wondering if it could run gears of war without lag. I know the graphics card isn't that good but will it support GOW without any lag at all?

Geow on the pc is really choppy at times. Even om my rig q6600, 8800GTS, 2 gb ram. The game ran fine in some part...and choppy in some part. The game does look better then the x360 version if u max all settings.

Ran totally fine on my PC. Max settings @ 1024x768.

@ the Original poster. It should run ok, but on lower settings.

With an 8400GS, you'd be lucky to get a respectable frame at 1024x768 on mostly Low. That is, If you can get it to run.

Dude you will have no problem with the game whatsoever.I run it an High everything (even shadows) with a Pentium 4 2.80 GHZ CPU 1 GB of RAM and a 6800GT.I experience slight shuttering at the beginning of some levels but after a few secs it plays great

Runs fine on my PC with the max settings including DX10. Maybe your computer is a POS.

If I can run Crysis on high, I'm sure I can run any game that is currently out. I'm glad I didn't spend any money on GoW ;)

Runs fine on my current machine, when I had a 8800GTS 320mb, and on a 7900GS + P4 3.0 Ghz + 2 GB Ram.

They all had different settings, but they were all still very stable.

@TC

The 8400GS doesn't seem like a gaming card, soI'd barely expect itto play it on 1024x768 on low.
