I'd like to play with all of the candy on.

To me, it doesn't look bad.
Your CPU might be a little thin in the skin.  I don't use Intel, so I really don't know.
Try the Beta and see how she acts...

Because you have a low end video card and it seems to be the mobile version of the bargain card, you're not going to be able to play AH3 with all the bells and whistles.  You're going to have to lower some of the graphic options in game to get playable frame rates.

The CPU seems a little weak, it's been told that it should be above 3 GHz for all bells and whistles. For the GPU I'd say the same.

But that's a sweet rig nonetheless if you can cut your requirements a tad. One notch off the worst resource hogs might not hurt your eyes. A couple of beers would take care of Anti-Aliasing if needed... Test the Beta.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

The CPU is a little slow, and the video card is the mobile version of a card which would *just* do it, so it will not be able to run with all the bells and whistles enabled without some frame rate hits.

Between the slow CPU and marginal video card, I would say it would struggle with everything enabled in the games settings.

GTX 960M
GDDR5 - 2G
Data Path - 128bit
Band Width - 80 Gbyte\sec
Shaders - 640

I tested for 18months with an AMD HD 6770 1G SC. My best FPS was in 1024 mode. I still had to disable post processing to get 40-60FPS against a 60 bomber mission with clouds, escort fighters and my attack wing blazing through the formations.

Shaders is what will limit your mode to 1024 for FPS performance. 2G is nice and will mean you don't run out of video memory in target rich environments over a big airfield or strats with 4096 or 2048. But, you don't have the band width to support high FPS.

I am thinking that CPU could easily reach 3.4 ~ 4 GHz.  I have an 8 year old dual core, that with 9 x multiplier I get 3.4 GHz without a single burp!

Maybe if the chip manufacturers told that story, they wouldn't have sold so many chips.  But what Bustr has shown is more important.  So, everything on, NO............
