Bought my son a 7600gt last year, it really kicks. Might dual boot just to get a taste of directX 10 but Visa sucks large. COD4 is pretty cool

Hell yeah cant wait for this game. IGN already gave it a 10/10 and said its the best game that has come out since Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Pretty bold words.
And my friend is the manager of a game store and he already played the game and he said its incredible.

Yes... meant the computer, the others can't handle it

Would agree with the guys from the magazine, Zelda ocarina of time was awsome

7600gt is erm... weaksauce of a graphics card for todays standards.

What I mean by "standards" is a 100 dollar graphics card will outperform the 7600GT without breaking a sweat. Also, be warned that if you want to try DirectX10, you will have to get a DirectX 10 compliant graphics card.

ATI HD2000 series
ATI HD3000 series
NVIDIA 8 series
NVIDIA 9 series

Those are the series that will support DX10. Otherwise, you'll be in DX9 no matter what you do.

If you consider an upgrade to play a game like this, allow me to suggest some cheap cards: ATI 3870, ATI 3850, NVIDIA 8800GT *not* the GTS, or the NVIDIA 9600GT. They will all be significantly under $200.00


My friend got GTA4 on launch date and I was severely disappointed. The car models look bland and I think the voice acting is overdone and annoying.
The city looks gorgeous, but the models/characters are extremely low poly and their textures aren't done very well. Particle effects are great, but simple effects like fire and such look like garbage.

Maybe I'm a pessimist, but GTA4 doesn't feel like it's up to par with the current generation titles. It felt like GTA3 on crack with a yelling primary character.
I was hoping for an *exciting* change, like the Bethesda team did with Morrowind to Oblivion. Half-life to Half-life 2. Maybe I'm just strange. Everyone else likes it, so it will most likely fill all of YOUR expectations. It just didn't do such to mine.
