Quote from Maximum PC,Magazine and they are going through their 2007 Game Awards. --- begin quote --- BEST EXCUSE TO UPGRADE YOUR PC FLIGHT SIM X This award could have also been titled the Biggest System-Requirements Fibber, as FSX crawls at near-slide-show levels on machines vastly exceeding Microsoft's guidelines. This might tick off many gamers, but honestly, it thrills the masochist in us. We just love it when a game comes out that punishes top-end PC hardware - it gives us a new performance benchmark with which to showcase the most cutting-edge gear. We're sure this game won't run at its maximum potential until the release of DX10, spawning a wave of upgrades across this country. --- end quote ---Just thought some may enjoy this article.Kenny G.

that guy is right on the money!!

Nice find, thanks for HU

Let's hope he's right about DX10 doing that to FSX, too.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2310 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 2.5-3-3-8 (1T), WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian case

the new LOMAC would be a better excuse...

>the new LOMAC would be a better excuse...I'm actually excited about the announced DX10 patch for Company of Heroes. It's already the best looking game I own.

Yea and Alan Wake looks real good too.

I don't know, Alan Wake is starting to look more and more like a Duke Nukem Forever vaporware seeing as it has been delayed so many times and is now loosely scheduled for '08 some time. Crysis is the game that i am most anxious for. I'm hoping that it sees the light of day this summer and doesn't get delayed as well into the holiday season or '08. If I were a betting man I would say that we won't see any dx10 games before the holidays...________________________________________________________________________________________________Intel D975XBX2 'Bad Axe 2' | Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.20Ghz | 2 GB Super Talent DDR2 800 | Big Typhoon VX | eVGA 8800GTS @ 565/900 | Seagate 2x320GB SATA RAID-0 | OCZ GameXStream 700W | Creative X-Fi | Silverstone TJ-09BW | Matrox Triplehead Setup

I am drooling in anticipation for Crysis. Far Cry (its predecessor) is still fun to play.
