Well the truth is I am using ancient hardware - I built this system 2002ish. The fan on the graphics card died, and it now overheats like crazy and I get artifacts if the room isn't like 0c. Hence the open window. Still, though she's an antique, she can run SH3 decently. I just have to taper back the bells and whistles.
