    So I tried the demo and found performance to be abysmal. Apparently the game was only utilizing 2 cores and that would be fixed in the full retail version. 
     
    Anyone here find that to be the case?

    Pretty much. The game ran like poop for me when I was playing the demo, but now it runs very well and looks amazing.

    That's reassuring. Surprised I can't find more detailed breakdowns online though. Would like to know for sure before I consider dropping down cash for it.

    The game set everything to ultra or high depending if the game supported the ultra yet.  I was getting around 50fps on a i7 950, 6gigs ram, and a EVGA superclocked gtx 460 1gig card with Windows 7 64bit.
     
    Thou, that movie thats played after you select your clan has horrible quality.  Looks like a mpeg file from 1998.

    @sins_of_mosin: Thanks for the info. I have a similar system. Getting ultra on it seems promising. My copy is in the mail. Also this is quite a cheap game. I ordered the limited edition for 31 € from Amazon. Just do not buy this over steam.

    I'm about to find out how this game runs on a 2.4 ghz i3, 4 gigs of RAM and a mobile HD5650. I'm guessing not very well. What a terrible time for my PC to stop working.

    @buckybit: Medium settings at 1920x1080 and it runs better than starcraft 2 does. Dudes kinda look like crap up close, but I rarely zoom in anyways. Overall I'm satisfied with my experience.
