Well, I can run this too, on Med, and all is well
EXCEPT, the DRIVING...
I never played SR, to begin with,
But got this from D2D, and the PORT SUCKS
I can run great
just cannot DRIVE...
even on the low
Instead of me getting GTA IV last night
I got the CRYSIS PACKAGE.
I had already played the DEMO, but really didnt want it, as I am an old gamer, and just dont like future in games
I loved the Halo series, but that was runnin on my "fine line" of gaming
So imagine me on 1 hr of CRYSIS NOW.
I feel if GAME DEVELOPERS, are wanting to get ALL money, like I see, they are going to HAVE to Keep PC'S #1.
If it were not fer PCS, they would HAVE NO INDUSTRY...
I as many are, without work, sick and blah blah, but if it were not fer US, it would be a VERY, dead cyberspace.
Srry fer the Rants, but, this is gettin out of hand.
Hell's gonna be more packed than I thought 20 yrs ago...
So, I bought CRYSIS. because I played the DEMO. and life was good.
I mean, I have Gametap (SUCKS) account, Steam, Bigfish, Iwin. WW2ONLINE, Fighterace (since the start)
Please, anyone, go take a AMD ATHLON 64 3400+, and run Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and get 30 - 40 FPS
with an X1650 PRO 512 MB. AGP. all on Med and High. LOL
Thanks fer they Help...
Really, TY.
Peace, Mongoose333
