Hi Will,

Without seeing the full specs or dxdiag I can’t make a definite answer. Actually I couldn’t even after seeing the specs.

All I can say is that I routinely run SSE on a 42-inch VIZIO at 1920 x 1080p at max graphics settings with acceptable frame rates. This is with an ATI HD 5850 and i7 860.

Regards,
Marty

One caveat: The TV should be progressive scan. Interlaced displays (1080i) render small text poorly.

These are the specs:

Intel core i5 processor 680 - 3.60ghz 4MB
Memory: 6144MB (2x2GB) (2x1GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel
2TB 7200rpm Duall HDD
1GB ATI Radeon HD5770 graphics card

That should do OK, but a lot also depends upon other things such as what else is running in the background, whether you are using Aero themes, etc. SSE does a lot more intensive processing by the CPU before each frame can be rendered than most games.
