Certainly harder than a Core 2 Duo can handle. At least if you want the
bells and whistles.
I still can't get my head around that, though. Do today's gamers forget
that they're playing a game, then?
To me a modern 3D game still looks no more realistic than the 2D platforms
that were around in the 80s - in that it's still so obviously not "real"
that the bells and whistles are pointless - and the level of entertainment
extracted from pushing pixels around a screen is no different, so I can't
see the logic in spending spending the kind of cash required to run a
modern game when all it will ever be is "just a game".
