You don't say how much RAM but let's guess at 2GB - then yes, no problem.

Though there was some talk on here about 8800GTS and TDU not getting along I think that only applies to SLI, my mate has the 8800GT on a p35 MSI mobo and has no problems at all. With the AA pushed up to 8 in nHancer he hits around 40fps everywhere. I only have the 9600GT but also hit 40ish stable with a G25 connected (again with the forced higher AA)

Although I've no idea what the 4970 will perform like but it's unlikely to cause any problems. Should be able to push the AA up to 32, anything 8 and above it starts looking sweet as.

Should be fine, A g25 does best with dual core processors.

We should cruise sometime dude ;)

G25's n all.

Not for any longer I suppose tonguegre

Just make sure your comp is fully updated.

Btw the game only uses around 600mb max of ram while it runs.

Very true, tbh you would get more power from saving some money on ram and cut back to 2GB and up the CPU. The Q6600 maybe has a lower default clock speed, but it will run at 3Ghz without any advanced overclocking (no need to tweak timings and voltages, just up the FSB) and has more onboard cache (8MB)

I Figured There Was No Point In A Quad Core Since TDU's Sketchy With A Dual Core...I Was Just Wondering Should I Get A 4870 Or A 9800GTX? Im Not That Knowledgeable With Hardware Performance... And For The Record TDU Runs Beautifully Everything Maxed With No HDR...I Really Dont Like HDR But I Was Wondering What Can I Do With nVidia Drivers To Crank My Current 8800GTS To Remove The Jaggies...

HD4870 is far better than 9800GTX. If I remember right, even HD4850 is better in most games. :)

I run 2x 4870s and they seem fine.

The game isn't well optmised for crossfire and as a result I sometimes get a little refresh lines.

HDR seems to affect the framerate a bit too... 90-100fps with HDR on, 140-160fps without.
