hi there....

I'm getting around 70- 90 FPS playing this map. But when there are huge amounts of zombies my card will start to stutter a bit. I've got 896 MB of video RAM. Maybe i should upgrade or just turn down the number of corpses. The graphics in this map are beautiful and the game is SUPER FUN ! I was just a little surprised because my Evga GTX 260 core 216 "Superclocked Version) has never choked or stuttered on any game. There are sooooo many zombies on the map that i guess im doing good to still be getting 70-90 FPS everything on high. What do you think? Take care and god Bless You.

It depends upon whether your game is CPU-limited or GPU-limited.
If you're running at lower resolutions, you may be CPU-limited. At higher resolutions or with lots of AA enabled, you'll be GPU-limited.
It also depends a lot on the game and its balance of CPU & GPU usage.
On the whole, I'd guess that the higher-end GPU will give you better gaming performance than the better CPU.
