Yeah, I'm with Tommy. You read the PC Gamer article, which has an interview with the lead programmer, WHO SHOULD KNOW, and he says all the sound calculations are done on the CPU no matter what card you have.

Except that it doesn't. An 8500 is quite alot better(it was ATi's high end card at one time). The 9200 uses the rv280 core which is very similar to the rv250 core which is a cut back entry level version of the r200 core used by the 8500. It performs somewhere around the fx5200 in most tests.
Doomy that's higher minimum specs than I expected, when talking minimum specs we're talking barely playable, choppy, 640x480, everything that can be turned off turned off here. This game is barely playable on a medium/low end computer?
I'm thinking maybe I should ignore it for a year or two until my next hardware upgrade cycle so I can play it somewhat smoothly. Looking at those specs I don't expect my 9800 pro and 2.4 GHz p4 to be able to play descently on even medium settings.
