Best Graphics Cards For The Money: June '09

This month, ATI's new Radeon HD 4770 is missing in action, since online stores are not only unable to keep it in stock, but also de-listing it completely. With violent movements in pricing, though, it'd have been taken off the recommended list anyway. Read more

Just looking at the format for this, with it played on platforms, I hope they are going to have the strongest path-finding AI possible.

I can just see having all those troops stuck on the narrow confines of the gamespace. I know it was bad enough at times with Starcraft 1 on tight maps with buildings/terrain.

Yeah .... :) Can't wait to see it on store ...

I built a whole new PC just for the sake of STARCRAFT II. Hope it won't take too long to release ... :)

blizzard is not stupid, the gameplay is what they focuses the most on. Graphics is only a tool they will use to deliver it to their target population.

If you have seen the blizzard cinematics in wow / w3, you will know they have awesome arts teams, they just chose not to make the game only playable on a quad / sli 8800, and I think that's a damn smart move.

WoW didn't have the best graphics for it's time either.... look how well it has done. I honestly wasn't impressed with screens of it, it was the gameplay. I am going to to save up, and when SCII comes out, replace my already aging PC.
