I thought the graphics were average at best during the demo I played... I read this review, sounded like jargon to me, lots of unbias opinions.

Uh, i think game publications encourage being unbiased...I think meant the opposite however. Being biased means u already have an opinion somewhat formulated and no matter what is presented, u stick to that initial thought....being unbiased is going into something u know previous conceptions about it, which is what most game mags, news programs etc are supposed to do...unless u watch FOXNews, then ur getting a biased republican view...know what i mean? |

fox is the suckies tv channel ever, oh man every time i hear those idiots jumping up and down at eachother in the news chairs screaming and laughing at eachother, not to mention on the piss-poor near-greyscale image/audio quality of the entire channel, i wanna jump into the screen and rip their eyes out.

It looks fantastic even on my 6600GT. Imagine on a 7800GTX with everything at max...

i like this part of IGN's preview... Nice to see it running better than the demo..
The game as a whole looks darned gorgeous. With a 6800GT and a 3.0GHz P4 in this particular rig, the auto-detect performance settings cranked almost every bell and whistle to the max (minus soft shadowing, which is very demanding on even the latest cards). No antialiasing, but anisotropic filtering was set to 4x at 1024x768. The stress test has changed from an in-engine cinematic to a Unreal Tournament-style fly-through, and this rig average 39 frames per second. Not too shabby. So it does appear that the game is indeed been optimized since the demo was released. You will want a DX9 card, preferably no less than a Radeon 9700 Pro or GeForce 6600GT. The gunfire haze, smoke effects, heat shimmer, distortion effects and filters, slo-mo tracers, explosions, bumped-mapped textures, and reflections all look quite pretty. And every detail setting is explained in the options menus, which is a nice touch, instead of having to dig through a manual or Google it for something that's hopefully explained in English, and briefly. You shouldn't have much trouble getting FEAR to perform to your liking, since there's a very long list of options you can toggle or adjust to certain levels.

LMFAO, that monitor is a pile of shit.
Also, your e-penis must be big now since you finally after the long wait got to mention "your" system.

But games that don't run well with antialiasing are but-ugly.

I don't think there is any built-in fps meter in FEAR Demo. If u want to verify the fps, just activate Fraps before launching the demo

Looks great?
I'm running an Overclocked Athlon 64 3200+, 1.5GB of Ram and a 660GT Overclocked.
I ran it more or less maxed. It DEFINATELY did not look better than Doom 3's main graphical components (lighting, bump mapping).

I really hate bashing people on boards for their statements but I have to say you are total idiot making the statement that the dell 24 inch is pil of shit. First of all with the currently availabel 35% off code it costs unbelievable $744 and I own a 20 inch and the 24 inch version and it is amazing. Even every single review site thinks so. You find a better display for the above stated price and I will take everything back but please refrain talking smack about something you do not own or u havent even seen or tested. This is a great display and I would recommend it to anyone ...

Be quiet junior, you have no clue wtf you yappin about, I read reviews for every single DELL monitor out there, not even one breaks the 7 mark, give me a break, Dell makes shit quality product and thats a fact.

Please, before next time you call anyone "junior" provide some actual evidence for your statements. I actually am talking about a product that I own and you need to find a new resource of reviews ...
