    It will run okay on medium settings. It will run like shit though if you have it on ULTRA or High.
    Also, the more natives on screen, the worse the game will perform. For some reason shirtless savages take more system resources than the other units. Alot more.

    It will actually run quite, good, probably even on high. The main bottleneck though is your video card. Your processor and memory are fine, but your video card should be about a year newer.
