Way to shut out the majority of Steam users.Steam Hardware SurveyWell, apparently you need one hell of a DX10 card because it runs like crap on mine*. Although the scale of the arenas are pretty immense.It's okay. Novel but really quite disorienting.*Could also be due to it being an ATI. Not sure how well PhysX runs on these.

Not sure how well PhysX runs on these.PhysX (when it was made by Aegia) used to be a seperate card instead of being integrated onto the graphics card, then Nvidia bought them out to capitalise.Every Nvidia I have had has crapped out on me, and yet I have had no problems with ATI (using an HD4850 at the moment), so they can shove their physics hardware acceleration up their arse - it really doesn't make much of a difference to me, and I have seen the comparison videos.

HD4850 is the card I have too and I'm quite happy with it, 'cept for the incredible noise of its fan. I generally avoid the highend spec targetted games, like yer Crysis or whatever watercooling Crossfire fiends are fapping over these days.

Le Stu Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Amazing Steam deals on if you haven't seen already. BFBC2 for 6.50 (ish) kind of amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
