It was a god awful card maybe they put it in as a in joke for developers. Hay 4 years from now we could say the same thing about the gtx 480.

Well, think of it this way. Dragon Age 2 was only 7GB, and it had a ton of recycled environments as a result. This clocks in at 10GB, and given that it is an FPS, this either means its a longer game, or that the missions are going to be packed with shit to throw at people.Easton Dark said:
Only crazy enthusiast rebuild every six months which I can safely say I person that enjoys doing that but I enjoy tweeking the latest hardware, overclocking and the like its a separate part of the hobby one side is the gaming the other is building an optimizing. I can totally understand that majority of people dont want this but I find it great fun but really most pc gamers dont do this.Ian Nelson said:
There is something fascinating about how immediately confrontational an article becomes when it starts with name calling the console folks...
No, this is what we get for 3D Realms leaving most of the work unfinished and then Gearbox trying to fix everything.AnythingOutstanding said:
Your example here is very laughable, especially without context of respective era or other specs from each chip.Pebkac said:
Don't ever make this comparison again.
It is your PC. It takes me less than a minute, starting from clicking on the shortcut.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
So it's a problem with Steam that the game updates? Wouldn't it actually be good that it is updating the game? And what does it have to do with Steam? If you don't leave it running in the background, then it can't get updates. You can also toggle the setting to not automatically update the game.

yeah, no problem for me 
i have even a ati 3850 and i still can run modern games on high. maybe bc i have a q6600 cpu and over 3gb ram.

HD 2600?
You mean my beefy HD 6970 Overclocked is OVERKILL?
Good god Duke I am ashamed, I figured I'd need at least two hydron collidors hooked to my rig before we'd get a decent FPS out of you!

What is the reason PC gamers cannot play games like Halo or Little Big Planet. Somehow I honestly think Jealousy is the reason for them demanding higher specs. Because higher specs would be an exclusive. And Exclusives =/= Exclusives. Then again, that arguement is invalidated by all the RTS's out there.. Still, Shooter-Exclusives.Azaraxzealot said:
Heh, I only recently upgraded from a 7600 GS to an 8600 GT, and that was only because my friend bought a better graphics card for his computer and give me his old one (which had originally come from the computer of our other friend).
I really need a new computer.

Wait, those are the recommended specifications? That's awesome, my system's innards are way better than that.
Man, guess I can finally chuck away that Socket 7 beast I was saving to play it on then... couldn't they have included a 1999-PC compatible low graphics version for old time's sakes?
The fairly new (<18 months) machine I'm typing on from work (waiting for a conference to finish across site ;p) could barely handle that, IF I stuffed in the best videocard found in any computer on site. My own everyday home machine would cry, then burst into flames.
So will there be a console version, given I'd have to invest in about £300 worth of upgrades to make myself a usable DNF machine?
(yeah yeah, I know, it's all par for the course in PC gaming, and these specs are quite light... i'm just sayin'
^ this incredibly tardy edit brought to you by the enormous trouble the corporate firewall 15ft away from my desk behind a wall consisting of 1: Air, 2: Nothing is having with a bit of sunlight falling onto it. Is it possible for fans to explode from running too fast?
