in Secret World Legends

I'm interested in buying this game, but I went to their page to see if my PC could handle and it said my video card wasn't enough. I use a AMD Radeon HD 6800 series, and their Minimum req. is NVIDIA 8800 series 512 VRAM.

My question is, can my PC handle it?

I went to anandtech and here is the result:

Did the same on hwcompare:

My vga is a little superior in some aspects, but I'm not so sure.. Any help?

    I´m pretty sure it will run nicely on low to medium graphics settings, but for high settings on current and upcoming MMOs you should consider getting a better graphics card, nvidia GTX 480, 580 or one of the new GTX6xx series cards

    my PC is out date,vga ati 4800,run on  medium with shadows off(make it  for pvp massive fight in fusang),working fine

    Only trouble what i have was with memory lack,32 bit windows ,4GBRAM,that trouble solve with memory tweak...after done it game never crashed.

    The game runs fine on a 6850.

    You can run it on a 1080p monitor on medium with shadows on and viewing distance set to high with a good 40+ fps. You can even run the dx11 version.

    The 6850 is a newer, more powerful card than the nvidia 8800.

    What's more important is having a 64 bit OS.

    I was running a 450 GTS, and I had no problems.  I am not sure how that relates to those cards, but I know it is pretty low.

    I don't have any personal Radeon experience, but as far as I know, HD6850 is somewhere around the nVidia 9800 (which is a relabeled 8800 :) ). Where I want to go with this:

    I saw TSW on 9800 once, low/medium settings, 1920x1200, it had pretty solid fps. I think a HD6850 can easily handle the game, especially on low settings.

    Thank you for your replies! I was confused because what did show on TWS site.

    I'll be buying TSW then, game looks fun!

    Btw, I won't be running on high or ultra, just medium or low, it never bothered me playing that way. :)

    I run on a Radeon HD 5770 just fine. Just using whatever settings the game assigned to me and not sitting around obsessing over FPS and what not.

    I dont believe you can get any good fps with a modern pc screen (ie 1920x1080). I cant get a good gaming experince in dx11 with my rig (2560x1600) and i doubt you will have a pleasent experince in either dx9 or dx11. 
    Eve online and +1500 steam games in the back cataloge makes me a stressed out gamer.

    6850 is somewhere around a 550ti in nvidia terms.

    My bad, as I wrote I'm not much into Radeons... but then it's even better for OP, 550ti is better than 9800, so the HD6850 could perform pretty well.
