yes it will.. I had a 550gtx ti, and it ran clost to 100fps on full detail settings....
but i also have an expensive cpu and motherboard and lots of ram, so i dont know how much the CPU matters in 2K, but you should have at least an i5 core

i have since upgraded to a 660gtx though

CPU is pretty much the only thing that matters for this game.

Q6600 + 8800GT = ~55fps
Q6600 + 560 Ti = ~60fps

New computer with an i7 + 560 Ti = 120fps

Switched to a GTX 550 Ti myself recently as I was looking to make some budget upgrades and I'd have to say so far, so good.

ok yea that would explain why I didnt get much more FPS switching from a 550gtx to a much more powerful 660gtx OC

the CPU im running is a i7 3930k, the second most expensive Intel CPU you can buy from my knowledge, I guess the game is just ported from console in this manner, cuz consoles have weak graphic cards so thats the way they make the game, for the cPU to run it mostly
