Most likely yes at low settings without AA. But I'm not sure how well this game is optimized.

Low settings without AA should give you 30+ fps. But if you aren't satisfied with the fps rate, reduce your resolution slightly. :)

Thanks, after playing around with the setting for about 3 hours, I found that I get more fps on high textures and low graphics than both low! I play on my resolution and get about 35 fps. Who knew turning up the settings improves performance!

Potentially, it's worth a shot. You'll need to lower your resolution, turn off AA, and keep most settings to medium, and hopefully, you'll get a comfortable average of 30 fps. Cheers!

Just to be make it clear for the community, this game is much more graphics and cpu intensive than these system reqs actually say. My rig can barely sustain a 40fps on it and i have cpu 57% better than system req, and gpu at 67% better. This game will chomp down on your gpu especially if you prefer to play games at the maximum settings.
