Default PC upgrade has rejuvinated my game... i might last that 2 years now!
Until today I was one of those players with a 4 yaer old machine and extremely outdated graphics and I never got the true look of the game.

I was also one to say graphics didnt matter and told people not to winge about textures....

...but then my new PC arrived today and I cant get over how nice this game look on max settings. Its sooo nice and not outdated at all.

Its actually made me fall back in love and I feel like exploring gthe entire world all over again to look at it in high resolution and shadows and anti-alising.

Just shows what 2.4ghz quad core, 4gb ram and an 8800 card can achieve! I cant believe there are actually people who say the 2 yaer old graphics are outdated. It looks amazing.

£1,600 give or take. That was with 19 inch monitor and 7.1 surround sound system too. So I cant complain.

I was just gobsmacked by how nice this game actually looks.

Guild Wars doesn't look all that great anymore. Then again, if you upgraded to that level, I am sure it looks better.

Here....

Yet I get the feeling, even my top spec machine would have issues running that at top quality! Graphics are wonderfull for a game, but unless the storyline and action holds up, its all substational.

If Crysis will only run on Vista it will ruin my month of Nov for the entire year.

I bet it will only run only vista. Just look at the demo, it's dx10 to the max.
