[QUOTE=fpmankills;19697489][url]http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/srtest/[/url][/QUOTE] no
I got a 9600GT and a Q8200 and I can barely run the game at 25fps maxed out, so I'd say no, if you're wanting the best graphical settings

Cards don't run because of the label. the video clearly shows the game plays at 17fps on high 1650x1080, lowering the res and detail, will reduce the load on the GPU thus adding more frames
That game can not "run properly" on any computer that exists now or will exist in the next 3 years.

OP just don't even bother.

I mean it isn't like pixels take up Vram or anything and lowering the amount of pixels the GPU has to produce could some how speed things up when the GPu's core has to process less I mean that would be math mathematically correct, and as we all know computers don't do math

The 220 is a re-branded 9500GT, with slightly faster clocks. I have a 9500GT and I can run it on max textures, and max shadows just fine. It all depends on the CPU. My Athlon 4400+ runs at 23 fps while spamming cars, 78 fps while flying.

You should be able to play. I just did a benchmark for comparison [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/b3nekw.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/slr4e8.png[/IMG] GTX 260 C216 E8400 @ 3.6GHz 2x 2GB G. Skill RAM 4-4-4-12

point is a GT220 is MUCH better than a 3450 and a 4800+ is ass loads better than a pentium D at 1.6
OP can run it. I mean if Macbooks are able to run it (all settings low at 800x600) with a 9400m and 2.0ghz core 2 duo then I think the OP will be fine.
