another hardware stressing game, another opprotunity to wave my 9800 pro around like a certificate for diplomatic immunity.

i started playing this game on my 9800pro@xt on ultra graphics and 1280x1024 and 4xAA

didnt work, had to unoverclock my gpu. turn off AA, take it down to 1280x768 and high graphics, AND went down form 3.53GHz overclock on my processor to 3.1GHz to run it stablie(right suffix?)

yeah, it's a demanding pretty f*ing stressing game

lets just say i didnt read through the entire guide

I run fine, High, 1024x768, 1.7 GHZ processor, 128 MB Radeon 9800 Pro, 512 MB Ram

Some slowdown when going through doors, and when alot of shit's happening, but daaaaaaaayum is it pretty.
