You've got a more powerful PC than I have. Your only problem there really is that you've only got 2GB of RAM while running Windows 7.

I've got an AMD x2 240 @2.8GHz, 2GB RAM and an nVidia 7900GTX 512MB (Running XP Pro).

My graphics are way above SH3 standard and better than SH4. I do get some graphical slowdowns if I zoom in on a burning ship but still playable. The only time my game has turned into a slide show was once I got too close to an unescorted convoy and half the ships opened up on me with tracer.

The only other problem I have is that in the bunker before a mission and entering/leaving port my screen will intermittantly black out. I get around this by either Alt/ Tabbing out and back into the game (after moving the mouse to change my view direction slightly) or if it becomes too regular I just go to the nav map and wait till I'm away from the harbour after which the sim runs fine.
