    Yes Sir. Runs pretty well on medium, not high though. I haven't downloaded the texture pack so I cant comment. I hit a few jitters here and there, but nothing to hinder me from enjoying the game.

    However, I use 1920x 1080 resolution via HDMI to a monitor, that that may be why it jutters (and also maybe due to my ty HDMI cable), so on its native screen and resolution, I think it'll run smoothly.

    There was and maybe still is a demo (Steam) so you could try that before doing anything else.

    It ran fine on my R1 (CPU OC, GPU stock) at medium settings.

    Runs great in DX9. DX11 is a bit choppy.

    R1 is somewhere in between so you should be good on medium-low settings with stable frames

    also because of optimus on the R2 I cannot use this tool but it works on the R1 as long as the nvidia gpu is enabled http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

    In DX9 you can run in medium (highest it will allow) WITH the extra downloadable texture pack with no issues. Runs and looks great.
