    Thumbs up Re: Demo graphics auto detect a bit... off?

    Never, ever go to Wal-Mart for a computer. Even more, never go to a large company for one.

    I got my gaming laptop from a local computer store, and it was $400 cheaper than a slighty suckier one at Future Shop.

    Auto-detect was close to the mark for me, though I was able to turn a few things up (from "high") and maintain a good (~50 zoomed out, ~25 zoomed in) framerate.

    lobosrul, I'm using an 8800GT and WinXP, it must be something else.

    Ah, situation has been remedied. Going to pick up my GeForce 9800 GT with 1 GB in about an hour.

    Well this is just crazy. I finally went with auto-detect; which defaults to Max; just to confirm that I could not run it at this level, and things pretty much look similar to High and the game ran fine. I have a fairly mediocre system and assumed that I would need a Graphics card upgrade at a minimum and probably need to double my Ram, but I think I may be fine as is.

    Specs

    Duo 2.4 E6600 4 MB cache
    2 Megs Ram
    GeForce 7900 GTX 512 MB
    XP

    It looks fine. 7900 will be a good card for many years.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?
