Dell sells less then 5% of its computers thru 3rd party retailers. I actually work for the computer company that sells the most PCs worldwide, been there for over 3 years. So you keep reading benchmarking websites and pretend you know how and where most PCS are sold. |
Ok, you aren't getting this, so I'll type slowly....
I already mentioned many times that there are a very select few onboard chips which can perform decently well at low resolutions. One of those is the HD3200. Another is the GMA4500HD. Understand?
Next, when I say Best Buy and Wal-Mart, and I say that includes companies like Dell and HP, I am saying that most people get their computer through an OEM such as these, and the most common form of graphics on these machines is integrated graphics which are much lower than the HD 3200 in quality and performance. Understand?
Those PC's could "run" the game in the sense that it would load up and appear on the screen, but the maximum resolutions and settings are going to be much much lower than the 360's, and if they are using older chipsets (not the HD 3200 or GMA4500) then their maximum settings are going to be even lower (such as "Medium" details at 1280x800 or lower). Those are no where near the settings you get with an Xbox 360. Understand?
You actually expect me to believe you work for a computer company and yet you think an integrated chipset like the Geforce 7100 or 6150 can play Mass Effect with good details? Seriously, you may work at a PC company, but you don't have anything to do with PC gaming divisions or advising others on what specs they will need. I don't read benchmark websites except when determining what I want to build, and most of the time I am using my systems as benchmark crushers themselves.
