but this makes me sad

"Also note that the beta includes an Extreme option that is greyed out as no commercially available hardware can produce the settings at a satisfactory frame rate."

I wonder what settings they used for the high ones

[Buddy]

Low DX9 looks like FarCry

[R_Yell]

The lowest one is ugly, looks like an unlighted Source level . Just hope I won't have to use that one. The extreme one I guess is just to impress people

sweet jesus @ DX10 one, so many subtleties there that just pull the whole picture together. i love the rays of light going through the trees and the way the rocks really "pop", or maybe that's because they're actually models there?

I'm kinda bummed that a game is already out that will rape my relatively new comp.

Whats your spec Mr HP

[Mazy]

Aye, I think High DX9 is fine for me. I'm not using Vista on my work machine, and I'm not quite sure if I'm gonna bother getting a new computer for this.

Oh and Low looks way worse than FarCry imo, lighting is unbelievably terrible.

The small rocks/pebbles aren't models, it's a texture that makes use of the parallax mapping
