Thanks for the answer -- I guess my concern is that I usually use the Open Beta to get a sense of how immersive, RP friendly a game is, and I am afraid this won't be possible with this cap. I need to get a sense of whether the game will have places that encourage random gatherings, and I was also hoping to get a taste of their instanced dungeons. I am hoping to spot the Vanguard pitfalls (I have yet to see a city in Vanguard populated by anything other than NPCs), and that's best seen traveling and having a population spread across levels (e.g., LOTRO's Bree is still populated no matter the spread across levels).

I need to upgrade my video card. Is there a cut off point with the various video chipsets out there that you wouldn't see much improvement for AoC? For example, I have a Radeon X1950Pro and while that card is crap for Crysis, it plays WoW perfect. Upgrading to a 9800GTX, for WoW, would give no perceptible performance increase over my 1950.

Don't go for the pansy upgrade!! Waste a paycheck! And then cry in July with their new release that is supposed to destroy it.

Alright,so a 512MB 8800GT would play this game perfect? I have a 3.0GHz Core2Duo, 4GB of RAM...might get that new E7200 and overcock it to 3.8 or so.

Yeah the 9800 series was just a refresh... wait until the 9900GTX gets released (supposedly July.)

Apparently a bunch of peoples got their general beta accounts hacked and are being sold on ebay and what not, wich make no sense since open beta is soon no?, funniest part is Funcom is ignoring the emails sent to them.
Glad i will not be paying for this game.

Unless you're very serious about AoC and/or doing an upgrade now, a 512MB 8800GT or HD3870 is where I'd stop. You can get the 3870 with a two-slot cooler for as low as $150AR at newegg, so that's probably what I'd do for either a budget or temporary solution.
