lol the guy is blowing smoke, what a stupid article.

the install helps load times and helps reduced texture pop etc because before install it had to constant reading from dvd.

to say the textures, grafix are upgraded, because of installing the game is just a joke.

I don't think he was saying that the graphics are somehow "upgraded" because it resides on the HDD now, but rather that because it's not having to access the data from the DVD-drive, and instead from the faster access timed HDD, it technically looks better because of quicker refresh rates?

I could be off base, but I'm pretty sure that's what he meant... and technically speaking, it probablly could and does give that effect.  It's not miraculous by any means, but technically an upgrade none-the-less.

It's kind of like having a car with a spark plug not working.  If you replace the spark plug, your car technically wasn't upgraded, but instead works the natural way it's supposed to... hence, faster & more efficient peformance.
