1411051 2015-11-06 21:49:00 I used to be able to answer these questions for myself lol

CPU
Minimum: Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent
You Have: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz

Is it the fact my i7 does not hit 3ghz the problem in this comparison?
Will I need to actually upgrade for this game?

I have an upgrade being planned out but no where near ready to go yet.

1411052 2015-11-06 23:03:00 Yours is an older i7 with lower IPC, but I'd try it before spending money on an upgrade. Also the 920 is a popular overclocker so you may be able to squeeze some free performance out of it if it's marginal and you want to take the risk.

A bit of quick google research indicates your 920 falls right between the 2 CPU's listed as minimum in performance so it actually should work.

No.
No.

GPU is far more important.

That's true most of the time, some games do actually use quite a bit of CPU power though and given the listed CPU's are stated as a minimum it's quite possible this is one of them.
The i7 920 is more powerful than the Phenom II 945 though so again, should be fine.

In any case it'll work, only trying it will tell you how well.
