I've got a very, very slightly better video card. Probably. And that was nearly two years ago, I think. HOW DO YOU FEEL? |

Unless it can run Crysis on Very High and smooth, I don't care. |

Q isn't a mindless Mac fanboy anymore. We shamed him into cooling his passion for Steve Jobs. |

Not so much his passion for Steve Jobs as his hardon, and I don't think it was us who cooled his hardon for Steve Jobs, but more the work of that restraining order. |

Fact: there is no home computer video card capable of handling Crysis on it's highest difficulty. Note 'home' Maybe Giant Supercards that cost thousands, but nothing for home users for a little while. |

I'm the one that filed it. Q is so good that Steve didn't even know he was being stalked/fantasized about. |

So awesome that you can run someone else's operating system because no really valuable programs work on yours? ;) |

I already knew that as I did my research into it. Apparently it can cost as much as 1800 to get a home computer to run it on very high, and do it smoothly at approx. 39 fps, rather than the normal 60. So while getting it on very high is possible it is expensive and runs at 2/3 the normal smooth fps. So this was just my way of saying, I don't care really. As your computer is a lot like mine, just quad core which I almost got last January, I instead have a dual core. And thankfully I got it at a time which allowed me to avoid vista, sadly my laptop did not get to avoid the vista virus and instead runs on it. My old boss nicknamed it, the vista box and forbade me fun having come near our office network and made me use our one for hosts. Mostly because he did not like the vista virus. But still congrats on the new comp, rejoice while you can as give it a few months of work and games and the thing will crawl to a halt. |

Actually, a friend of mine runs Crysliss at Very High Graphics. Fucking impressive. Course hsi computer is a $6000 monster, with water-cooling, at two Nvidia 8800, as well as about 8 gigs of ram... but yeah :P I'm getting an unpgrade soon though. This comp was bought to run Morrowind, and hasn't been replaced. I did up the graphics card and ram a few years ago, to run Oblivion, but it can barely run Bioshock, and thats the end methinks. So i'm investing $1000 in a new fan, an Nvidia 8800 (the new version), and a few gigs of ram. :) |
