If Yes means playing Medium without a problem, playing High with lag from time to time and Ultra with a lot more lag, then Yes.

I would rather not have lag at all and play Medium than have even slight lag and play High. At High I had a battle where some lag appeared during the battle and I didnt see what happened. Even slight lag matters, a little graphics loss compared to high - not.

Here are the differences between the three graphics&textures:

Medium settings. I could run it higher, but higher graphic settings look almost the same and if I do then I have a bit of annoying lag.

The same, not much lag but frequent enough. Just not worth having lag just for slightly better graphics on High. But they did make changes because in Beta Medium didn't look that good and wasn't animated, it was much poorer. And in beta High used to work without lag for me.

Yes, because I have three hard drives, which makes it so easier.
My Warcraft III runs perfectly, and I have a updated video card with my COM too.

I can play with almost everything on High without large battles becoming laggy. I'm at a loss as to why the game ever lags however... It's by far more advanced than Wc3 but it's not THAT advanced..

Sc2 more demanding than Crysis, stat? I'm not so sure on that... sure there are games more demanding but sc2 isn't THAT good visually, maybe with a full 200 pop each, 8 player melee map.

Anyway I play high, I can play ultra but due to having only 2gb of ram (other 2gb got corrupt recently) it lags at the start of games for half a min or so - which is the worst time for it to do so imo, especially if you want to rush ^^

K, I played it on ultra during beta, but now I'm too poor to buy the game. WHAT SHOULD I ANSWER?
