I have seen several gorgeous screenshots and well-rendered objects throughout the years that I've played this game, but never gotten to that point myself. Now, I believe I would like to. I'm going to pick up a new laptop within the next few days/weeks, what type of stand-alone, or even integrated card, am I going to need to run this on maximum, or near-maximum, without many hitches?
Basic set up will be:
i3 or i5 sandy bridge
Windows 7 64 bit
3-6 GB DDR3
7200 RPM HD.
Just curious as to what type of card I need, really. I'm not talking ultra high end, just what I need to run PS on excellent settings.

I have a i7 Sandy Bridge E 3.6GHz overclocked to 4GHz (I could get more but I'm not an overclock nut :p)
32GB DDR3 RAM at 1600 MHz
550Ti graphics card 980 MHz 1GB (not the best but I'm not a big gamer)
and in the fields with all the grass.. there is still a little noticeable lag.

Well, an i7 may be overkill for me but that does give me an idea for a higher end card. thank ya sir ;)

A GeForce generation 8 / 9 works well even in high resolutions, and this is already an outdated family, compared to the modern GT families. But I mean a separate graphic card for desktop PCs. Laptops with "Mobile GPUs" often have a reduced number of shading units or a narrower bus. Compare the values in the GPU guides presented on TechARP.

I figured a GT may do the trick, perhaps something with a slight oomph, but since the rec'd settings were so low I thought i'd ask, see what you top-flight PSers were running.

I have a intel i7 2600k at stock settings 3.4ghz atm :P
8gb 1600mhz ddr3 kingston hyperx blue ram in dual channel mode
asus p8z68-v pro/gen3 motherboard
asus engtx570 1.28gb graphics card, it's just there in the middle of power vs cost so it's the perfect card for me
1tb seagate sata3 hd + 320gb sata2 hd <- used to be ín my old rig
windows 7 x64
This is my main rig atm, then i have my old rig that seems to be able to run ps still on high settings.
intel pentium 4 3.2ghz oc'd to 3.36ghz with stock cooling
2.5gb 400mhz ddr1 ram
msi 7800gs 256mb AGP graphics card, yes it runs ps :P
300gb sata1 hd
windows xp x32

I'd go for an ASUS G7SX that will last for many years and doesn't have optimus which is troubles.

Thank you, Weltall. I have heard good things about that particular ASUS series, I may give it a shot.
