Hi and welcome to the community.

You should be able to run it all maxed out for I am able to have fun that way and my rig is much "older" than yours.

But make sure you did all patches at least up to 1.05.

You might also try the latest beta patches.

Have fun!

Hi

Thanks for the quik reply :)

I have been trying it out of max but i seem to experience lag when i play

in mp game modes on my local machine, not online ( i understand internet lag :P )

but if i host a game like war 3 front i an play for a while then the gameplay starts to get jittery and stuttery, this doesn't happen in sp modes.
