@sit down droid

it all depends on the game in a case like GRID for example, the PS3 version and 360 version both run at 720p at 30FPS, PS3 with 2xAA and 360 with 4xAA. A GTX 285 or 4870 is going to be able to run that at 60 FPS at 1920x1200 or 50 FPS 2560x1600 with 4xAA, or Far Cry 2 as another example, the console versions run at 1280x696, the 360 version with 2xAA, and the PS3 version with edgeAA, a GTX 285 is going to be running it a bit better than the PS3 or 360 version with better visuals at 2560x1600.

I have an 8800 GT (Overclocked)

It's got Crysis running on full and I only have 2.5 GB's of RAM in this sucker.

It only stutters every once in awhile.

I'm not on DX10 though...only DX9. I have XP.

I bought an 8800GTS 640meg card about this last year and it runs everything at max settings so far. Once I put 8gigs of RAM in my PC it even let me run STALKER and Warhead maxed out just fine.

Vip3r5598d ago

Puts my 6800GT to shame. :(

Doctor_Doom5598d ago

I have GTX260 Black edition and I was thinking to go SLI but, first I need to make sure that DX11 supported by this card before upgrading

JsonHenry5598d ago

DX11 will not be supported until the newest cards come out this summer.

Mikerra175598d ago

dude you should wait till the price goes down at the moment you do not need to SLI, even at this point I dontr find the need with my 9600gt

Doctor_Doom5598d ago (Edited 5598d ago )

I didn't know that and thanx for the info

Anyway, better wait than regret

bubbles for you guys

Metal Gear Solid 5, Nearly After A Decade, Is Still A Timeless Classic

The Metal Gear series, led by Kojima, pioneered the stealth genre, creating a masterclass in storytelling and gameplay.

SimpleSlave1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.

xHeavYx2m ago

I know a lot of people didn't, but I actually liked that story twist at the end. The game was fun and all, but I wouldn't call it a timeless classic.

-Foxtrot1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Meh

Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.

Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.

I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.

Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.

Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.

Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.

People have selective memory. This game had huge drama attached to it, what Konami did to Kojima and this game was horrible. Now they praise Konami cause they revived Silent Hill, even though SH looks half arsed too.

CrimsonWing6932m ago

I dunno if they’re getting much praise after the Silent Hill 2 debacle. Makes me scared sh*tless for the MGS 3 Remake…

JEECE1h ago

Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.

Fishy Fingers6m ago

For me, best gameplay, worst, everything else.
