Its truly stunning the grafix they can make with current game engines, and not forgetting what they do with CGI in movies.
As a long time PC gamer i never really botheres with the Visuals in the games, i allways played in 1600x1200 or 1024x768 with highest possible FPS in the games and HZ on my monitor.
So most of the time the GFX in the games was set to lowest possible settings.
Today i like the Visuals, but you will need to spend a small fortune on GFX Cards to be able to run the games at MAX settings.
I am even ready to trade in my 22" CRT for a nice 1080p "pancake" screen π
