These games are but a few of so many coming out. I mean they look so graphics intensive that I would like to ask a question, does your system have what it takes to run these types of games on quality settings they are 100% meant to be played on? And that is MAXED OUT EYE CANDY

I think my system should be alright, for now that is. I mean, I can always give my system a boost with a Crossfire setup  And maybe another 2GB of DDR or so.

I don't care.  My computer is good enough to play the games I want to play.  When those games come out, and if my computer can't handle it, I will upgrade if it seems worth it.

Right now, however, my only running computers will NOT handle it.

I'm pretty sure mine could, with my new 7800GS :)
Once I get my S939 comp together, there'll be no question.

Great, now ask yourselves.

Games like Half-Life 2 & Far Cry 32/64-bit are genius designed, look the best & you can play them with very nice settings even on the most modest system right?

Now, that said, if game developers take there head out of there butt & start developing games like Half-Life 2 & Far Cry for the future, that would be amazing & will save us money.

But games like F.E.A.R is a fun game to play, but just programmed badly IMO.

Well, it is nice to play a game with all the eye candy possible right? The PC should look better then gaming consoles IMO.

Just a thought... chernobyl... if you get a chance, read up on it.

Keep in mind, however, that there are only a few dozen deaths that can be attributed to the accident... amazingly...

^^^ My very problem with Oblivion. HL2 runs beautifully with good gfx on my comp. Same with COD2. Oblivion needs more ram. My vid card still owns.

Oblivion runs quite nice on my system, using 1200 x 1024 res w/ Maxed out eye candy & HDR. It runs smooth, with the odd hick-up. Though I've read that a Dual Core Athlon 64 would help with that.

So, I should get my X2 4400+ @ 2.20 GHz w/ 2MB L2 in 2 days of so  :D

Now Titan Quest demands a lot from your system, more then Oblivion I would say. I am playing it right now, with the same 1200 x 1024 & completely maxed out quality. The game stutters @ times, so Dual Core should once again help with that I hope.

Downloading AMD's Dual Core Optimizer driver  ;)
