    TomPGN, that's right. Shader Model 4.0 don't support DX9, supported is DX10 and up.

    It is probably a mistake . But it would be good that Tim confirm it.

    So i guess I'm just terrible at comparing video cards because i can't find out where my laptop GT 650M fits in this.

    Are laptop video cards scaled differently?

    Pretty sure it's good enough for minimum because the 600 series is supported, but not sure.

    Is there a good site to help compare?

    (Edit) Turns out if you do 15 mins of research into video cards it's pretty easy to tell if your computer can do it or not and mne can so sweet =)

    Wow, my computer can run it? And then some? I'm surprised, I thought for sure it'd have higher recommended requirements than this.
    Either way I'm getting it on 360 anyway because none of my friends game on PC. lol

    Your laptop can run this?? I shudder to think of how much you dropped on that purchase
    Looks like I need a technology upgrade...

    Got it for about 600$, was actually quite the opportunist on this buy, well and lucky. It was on sale on the costco website taking a good 350 off the price. It was originally a 5400 rpm hardrive, which I think is why it was posted so low, but a buddy of mine said he could just replace it with a 7200 rpm drive he had lieing around and it worked very nicely.
