    I just upgraded nearly every part of my PC, including the VPU (to an 8800GS 640mb). I have since re-installed several games to revel in the glory of maxed graphics settings at max resolution. This includes Doom 3, Farcry, Oblivion, M2TW, and now BioShock.

    IMO, the most graphically impressive is M2TW. I threw all settings as high as they would go, enabled unlimited men on the field, set the game to Huge unit size, and made some custom battles. Running in widescreen, I have never seen any game more beautiful in my life than that. Though Oblivion trumps it on the details, the overall effect of 15,000 men duking it out in full glory without any slowdown at all is truly an incredible experience.

    Get that World in Conflict demo on your machine and see how it goes... It has a sweet little test option in the video settings which runs through a town being blown to bits. Now that tests your machine...

    First game I have had to move from Ultra High to simply High gfx setting in a while...

    Tragically enough the WiC demo won't run on my computer right now (some issue to do with it not being able to install and run user profile data properly) but hopefully when i have some spare time i'll be able to make it work properly. I think i have a fix.

    FEAR is not demanding, I'm playing on highest and it runs very decently. (On a 7600 GS not impressive)
