I played GH3 on the PC last night, it's supposed to be a real CPU hogger which needs a beast of a machine but it only grabbed one core, never went over 50% CPU and on full resolution was very very smooth.

It is quad enabled.

Also on the quad front - I find it does have a large impact in Unreal 3 games, which use Quad.

I have it as well...I have no idea why people are saying it's a poor port and doesn't like vista (ran fine on Vista 64).

LOL, Quad Enabled? Is that actually a phrase they're using to market it?

No...it's just what I typed (rushing). It uses Quad although CPU usage isn't mega.

Oooh so it should rinse out pretty well on my rig as it's similar but I have the 4400+ slightly overcooked too as well as the GTS.

I'd still love to play this on full settings

But then the game engine has been designed to run on next gen + architecture. Even Medium is an appreciable step up from the current generation of game engines.

I hear ya, still if we can give it a good run for it's money, it just proves what us old boys can do!

Wonder how it would do on my beast? Only one way to find out I suppose

I bumped the settings up to High last night... and it plays nicely enough still. Not sure I can push it to Ultra High to be honest, but still at High its wonderful

Creeping through the forest the detail visible is amazing, atmospheric hazing, motion blur, laser sights, volumetric shadows and so on. It takes all the HDR and Bloom stuff that you see in games like HalfLife2 and makes them realistic instead of ever so slightly weird. As a rule I've been turning off bloom in games due to it coming across wrong. This is the first game I'm glad its there.
