Jesus. rolleyes


No, people are running 1920x1200 on ATI 4870, Nvidia 280 or 285 series GPUs on mostly medium, finding the performance to be utter crap and having to ALSO reduce their resolution. Just to put it into perspective the 4870, 280 or 285 are not that slow even by todays standards. Yes you have to compromise on details and they will lack the latest features but to have to reduce detail to medium AND have to reduce resolution is due to a poorly optimised graphics engine. Or mayber the fact that the devs have been frantically trying to optimise said graphics engine has been lost on you?

I have a HD6970 2GB and until the latest patch I had to significantly compromise on details. Or maybe the graphics engine is future proofed banghead
