[citation][nom]oasiz[/nom]You do understand that the GPU is capable and so is the openGL API?Features aren't exclusive to directx11.1. You can still do pretty much everything with openGL, heck, even some older cards can pull off stuff that isn't "directX version y ready" because the GPU happens to support that tech. DirectX is still just an API and when it comes to tech, it's just an good buzzword to promote certain feature sets but it doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't supported.[/citation]

[citation][nom]jhansonxi[/nom]At least on Earth we have duct tape. No excuse for having to toggle between the flashlight or something combat effective.[/citation]
when doom 3 was eairly development, the lighting tech for the flashlight was already hard on the gpus, thats why it was one at a time... but by the time doom 3 came out, gpus could easily handle it... no idea why they didnt modify their games a bit before it came out though...
[citation][nom]Tomfreak[/nom]I hope is not just another medium req with average graphic quality like RAGE. People have been running 7970 Crossfire, give them a Super eye candy graphic game that run @ only 60fps outside 2560x1600x8xAA resolution. With the exception of Battlfield 3, all of the games recently have medicore graphics and arent pushing the limit of a desktop PC like Doom3/quake3/Crysis 1.Infact my heavily modded crysis 1 still look better than battlfield 3. Yes it look soo beautiful that my single GTX570 @ 45 fps @ 1680x1050px0xAA only. A 5yrs old game that is still a champion on photo realistic graphic? Come on....this is riduculous.[/citation]
and it has such a horrible engine that it artificially makes the game run worse than it should.
games like crysis should not exist... building for future tech and makeing the gpu brute force things just isnt the way it should ever be dont.
ooo eye candy... yay, game must be great... sadly good graphics =/= good game.
i would rather have ps2 level poly counts, and high res textures than be forced to spend 700$ on upgrading my computer so i can see a pretty game.
i love that consoles "hold graphics back" for two reason, 1, it makes people who have to have the best looking games possible squirm, and two, it already costs to much to make a game, and most of that cost is in the graphics side, id rather games be cheaper than higher than 60$
