Anyone else playing it ?
I have a core duo 6700/2.7Ghz, 8800GTS/320 and 4GB of DDR2/800 ram. Nothing's overclocked, can't be bothered farking around with that. It plays at 30+ FPS on all medium but if I put it on high I get about 22FPS, this is at 1280x1024 (17" LCD). On very high it's more or less unplayable but you'd be lost watching the light dapple thru the trees At the moment I believe I am close to finishing it, but when I do I am reasonably sure I'll start again on Hard.. Even so, on medium graphics it's still extremely awesome visually. I've not seen anything that comes close. UT3 is nice don't get me wrong but it's no comparison. Nopt sure how it stacks up against the most recent Half Life / Orange Box combo. Gameplay personally is damned fine too. There are a few little niggles about it, but to be fair they're small shit, like you still cast a shadow when cloaked, and barrels don't splash in the water. I'm gonna get my hands on Bioshock once I've done Crysis, I keep hearing good things about it. I'm 36 and have been gaming since I was about 9 .. this is the first game that's made me swear in amazement every 5 or so minutes. I thoroughly disagree with the review on IGN put it that way, which is only lukewarm. I find Aquamark, though old, something that almost every PC will run so you can get a 'level' comparison. On that, this PC gets about 135K. Think my most recent version of 3d mark is 2004..
Bloody hell, you people are pathetic. Grow up and leave the games to the kiddies. Jeez, you have your toys ie motorbikes yet you want to sit around playing games on computers. Will_S btw: just removed Vista and back to XP but havent but have not installed Bioshock as yet
If you find as I did a cheap quad xeon (3.2) with a bit of ram , adding a decent video card allows playing on a budget wait until Febuary as the I hear there are new toys being released
a bargain while you save your pennies, then: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170177034600&ssPageName=ADME:B:FSEL:AU:1123
Definitely a bargain. Finishing a game's no reason to sell it though .. Currently playing on hard. Knowing what comes up makes it a little easier but you still get lost looking at the eye candy
well starting an upgrade now ... well sort of Pretty much figured out what I want and have found the suppliers and its just a case of clicking on confirm order..... but o
