I had serious problems on my new 2001 iMac 27″. The game was laggy even on 1280×1024 medium settings.

I ran the repair tool and now I can run ultra on 2500×1440 without problems.

26 – 35 fps on Ultra with 1080p for monitior settings = MINT Graphics but lags a little in big battles. My machine is an Acer Predator G series.

[...] can test your own game performance by showing frames per second within Starcraft 2, just hit Option+Control+F while anywhere in the game and a framerate counter will appear in the [...]

I just build a new PC core i7 950, 6gigs DDR3 ram, GeForce 470 1280mb, resolution at 1680, graphics on Ultra, I’m getting as high as 150fps, I don’t think i’ve seen it below 50 or 60.

Here is a good article on starcraft benchmarks, http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/starcraft-ii-radeon-geforce,2728.html

Maybe its overkill, but half my PC matches the specs in the article.

What!!! I am using an ATI Radeon 4330 w/ 256 MB of dedicated RAM and I average about 100 FPS on low settings, and then it drops to 30-20 in the med-high/ultra range on 1366*768. I don’t understand how it can drop 70 FPS from one quality setting. I also use a Core 2 Duo @ 2.2 ghz with 6 GB of ram. Does this happen to a lot of people?

This game is partially CPU dependent but you really need a decent video graphics card. I got a GeForce 8600 GTS with 256MB and I can barely run on medium for decent performance. HDstarcraft on YouTube did a product review of the GTX 460. I think it costs around $200 last time I checked. I read 768MB version is good value, while 1GB costs more with negligible performance benefit.

You should be able to run your game with Ultra settings.
