Is this game hard to run on max?

Was just about to ask, is there anyone that can run this with everything maxed out smoothly?
And if so, please tell me what graphics card you have so I can go buy it.

i have a radeon hd 7770 ghz edition, and so far I seem to be able to play the game on highest settings smoothly

Low end? That's not low end.

It's alarming in 60 minutes how much you can do and how much your city grows.
I practically filled up the entire 2x2 lot in the hour :/

[¥ola]

Low end? That's not low end.

For a gaming geared computer it is.

Ok I'm very much tossing and turning mentally over the "online only" because

Like this stuff is going to happen and I'm not going to really enjoy it.  The difference between SimCity servers and Planetside 2 servers going down is that the entire basis of PS2 is multiplayer, there is no singleplayer capable content in PS2 (like what are you going to run around the whole continent alone?).  Simcity has such a capability for singleplayer, it's not even funny.  Considering the entire franchise was singleplayer til now, it's very hard to understand that there isn't an offline portion (i.e. my idea earlier in the thread).

As fun as this game is, it's such a problem to me.  I really don't mind the always-online, I really don't, but knowing the server owning companies, they're never going to put their full capability towards actually providing for the users 100%.

Not to mention what'll happen in 5 years when I want to play this game and EA closes down the servers saying some stupid stuff like 'wow that was really such a great gaming time, we are so sorry we HAVE to shut down the servers because they cost us like 50 bucks a month and we can't afford that compared to our 5 bazillion yearly income'

Clinics seem to do a horrible job, ye. Just like in simcity 4 I canNOT see any difference atall after placing a clinic. All these people are bitching 'o no someone cal me an ambulans plzzz' while there are 5 ambulances just down the street sdfsjgkhdgdjh.

I predicted that EA might forget up.

Wait, so let me get this - you can only play this for 30 minutes tops?
That's handicapped from EA.

you can play for 1 hour, then you gotta make another city

(you can't save and most of stuff is closed for beta)
