I got the DX10 version of the demo running from the X64 bin file, so 64bit and DX10 in Vista 64bit and it's amazing!!!

I've got it set to low though becuase my 8600GTS sucks

has anyone else thought of getting an 8800GT the new one thats just come out? and is much faster than all versions of the 8800GTS and just a margin off the 8800GTX?

i like the way in the DX10 version you can shoot trees with the boat and they fall over and crush things, man I'm buying it too

Seriously a good reason to upgrade to Vista if only for this game, or you could do the patch thing above

that happens in the dx9 version as well, also you can shoot a tree with anything and it will fall over.

I'm getting a 64 bit vista version atm, just bought a new pc and damn xp can't take over 2gb ram + i'm sick of the same old blue screen bs

you guys reckon i will have any chance of running this on medium with 4 gb ddr2 800mhz, asus M2N-E Sli and the 6000+ dual core with only a 256mb 7600GT card? Cards are insanely expensive, a 8800gtx costs the same price as the pc cost me (450)

it should be able to run it on medium (depending on what res you have it set at). the only thing holding you pc back is the video card, the 8800gt should be out over here soon and it should be fairly cheap.

Hmm, do you think it's worth my while buying:

640M 8800GTS Generic/Leadtek/Gigabyt /ASUS $452/$489/$499/$499

Or i should just wait for this 8800GT to come out?

defiantly wait for the 8800gt they are way better than the gts and almost as good as the gtx, and also they should be cheaper than the gts when they come out in a week or 2.

ah ok, cheers dude!

Game looks off tap, especially in the scenes when everyone is talking, faces look real as, my pc runs it ok on medium graphics and can sorta manage on high but, definitely will need a new graphics card to use FSAA and high res on medium, high/very high settings (i ran mine on medium with 1024X768 and high on 800X600 high was pretty laggy at parts)

Only problem is the crosshair.. when u zoom if you have iron sights instead of accuracy sights selected (default u do) it's really hard to shoot, even if u line up the little aim thingo on the gun

[kralster]

8800 GT's are already out. A client has two of em in SLi and he says they are freaking fast.

THey will be hard to get though as the new 9xxx series is out soonish. So if you see one grab it.

I got the full version. Will check it out when I get home from work.

aiming is soooo shit..

[dnbutts]

looks pretty cool hey, and doesnt cost that much either.

on the other hand its just another FPS so i dunno if its worth it.

[Alien]

awesome game! absolutely crazyyyyy graphics and physics and I love how you get different powers using the suit's modes. Amazing scenery and its pretty fun to play... pretty much same as Far Cry was.

As for performance... well I tried running 1920x1680 (my monitor's natural resolutaion) with all quality details maxed out to Very High including anti-aliasing 16X however it was running fairly choppy. So I turned the Anti-Aliasing to 4x and set details to High and it ran smooth, while still looking incredible.

This games too nuts graphic wise methinks, i was looking at it ran on High settings (not very high) with 4XAA and the 8800GT was struggling, hit a low of 10 FPS, and that's like one of the best cards around (are a few better tho)

picked up my copy this arvo

only been able to play for about 2 hours so far but im really enjoying it so far
