If not, do so, because it is full of win! Nothing better than filling a commie with bullets :D

Even at 1440x900 Medium Detail on my rig (see other thread for specs), it's playable....just.

I SERIOUSLY need to upgrade now! :D

Oh, and destructable tree's and stuff = WIN!

I've read a few people with high end systems complaining of low frame rate (15-25 FPS). Supposedly the demos poorly optimized, hopefully they get it all straightened out before the actual release.

Well, i was getting roughly 20 to 25fps at that res....nvidia drivers need to be specific so you can play the demo...no ati beta's needed though.

Tried recording some gameplay with FRAPS but it cant handle both game AND recording at the same time :(

A little OT, but Syris, how is ATF going. I noticed that they got a TF2 Divy (server is ALWAYS packed), and that a bunch of people left.

Still haven't gotten Crysis or the demo.

Um yes - cause its a NEW card.

Notice - the only cards in the 8800 line that were released, were the GTS and the GTX - the GT is the new G92_200 chipped beast with 112SP's, 1500Mhz Shader Clock, 600Mhz Core Clock and 1.8Ghz GDDR3 on a 256-bit bus.

Totally pwns the old GTS's.

Just played it.

I really suck at it because its so different then HL2, which I have been playing for the past week. But WOW, it is cool.

1280x1024 (I know, get a new display...) max everything, runs great on the 8800GTX with newest drivers. I still need a new proc though.

Wait, my mistake. I was thinking of the GTS. But I think I remember seeing the GT at quakecon 07 [sponsored by nvidia]. Maybe thats why I said what I previously said.

I know someone that worked on FarCry and now Crysis...

he did a lot of the mapping and stuff, pretty cool...

looks like they finally added ironsights instead of the crosshair crap from FarCry that drove me nuts...
