  Honestly it runs less than adequate for me on that exact same setup. 1280x720 on both medium and high were probably average less that 30 fps for me, the mouse felt clunky and it would skip frames and seem very choppy when you light up 2 guys with the lightning when they were standing in water. It played so much more smooth for me on the 360.
