Ok so just a quick question since I see a lot of people here with greater knowledge then mine. Could it be said with absolute certainty that my GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost MSI Twin Frozr OC 2GB Edition is below minimum requirements for TW3? I don't have big confidence in automatic "test your requirements" sites even though most mark my GPU as below the requirements while my CPU and RAM pass with flying colors (even for recommended settings).
This is sadly very important to me because I planned on getting the CE edition but with prices here in Eastern EU, the price of CE is going to be on pair with the price of potential replacement card needed to play the game in the first place. I must confess I was unprepared for this since I have never experienced a jump that bad going from Ultra High in Shadows of Mordor to below the minimum requirements in TW3.
650 Ti Boost is almost equal to the stated minimum. It's 4 shader modules to the 660's 5, but it's clocked faster, and it has the same 24 ROPs and 192-bit bus. I'd wager it's a good risk to play the game.
(Other x50 cards are well below minimum. The 650 Ti Boost is a special case, because it's not a 650 (GK107, 16 ROPs) but a cut-down 660 (GK106, 24 ROPs).)
