from what i know sauer is a core hogging game. most of the power ir requires to run optimally has to be given from your cpu.
A mediocre gfx card is enough to do its job.

I have AMD Athlon 6600+, dual core at 3Ghz, yet there was no change when i upgraded the gfx from Radeon 2600XT to 8850..

If you started with a Radeon HD 2600 and changed to a Radeon 8850, that's a downgrade.
There is neither a Radeon HD 8850 nor Radeon 2600 (at least according to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_Graphics_Processing_Units ).

And yes, a mediocre graphics card is sufficient. The (underpowered) open-source radeon driver on Linux with my Radeon X1600 Pro (RV530) runs Cube 2 pretty well (provided you turn off the high-end graphics and use PVS for big maps).

As always, one should make sure they have the latest drivers for their hardware.

i agree on this..
and just for the record, i previously had an Ati Radeon 2600XT, and upgraded to Ati Radeon 8850.. if you still don't get it, just go to amd.ati.com lol
