Default Re: OT: Worst PC Decision

Hey look I agree about the cost thing 100%, but I am telling you that card manufactures are including needed and now supported features on the lower cost cards. Take for example Far Cry, by all rights my GeForce FX 57 Ultra should run this game on hits higest settings with no problem, but the best I can do is Medium. Remember this card is less than six months old and I had to buy it to run the then State of the Art Deus Ex II. Bit shading, bump shading, something dot resolution at FPS, god only knows what the hell the differance is now, but the point is if I had opted for the Radeon 9800 or the better GeForce FX card I would be playing Far Cry on its highest settings.

Really all I am saying is that more and more games are using the features you find on the high cost high end cards that don't exsist on the less expensive Versions.

If all you want to do is play NOTOR, a borning game of epic proportions, then by all means just buy the X-Box or whatever card the game requires.

And for the record, NoToR is one uber magnum boring game on a galatic grand scale.
