The chances of it being able to play this years console games are extremely SLIM. Btw, its still better than 90% of integrated chips out there which are even worse! Craptastic Intel ones FTW. |
What your glorious little bar graph and logic fails to mention is a very simple fact. You do not have to play the game at 1024x768, to enjoy it. Call of Duty 4 scales alllll the way down to 640x480. You keep adding this metric of "it has to atleast look the same as the Xbox 360", when that isn't even remotely true. PLENTY of people don't own HD Televisions and end up playing their PS3/360 on 480i type conditions. Which is certainly, not some mind blowing graphical experience.
There's a reason why Activision puts scalers in their game. Playing at 640x480 will provide numerous boosts in performance and easily will run on lesser cards, even 640x480 is unlikely for most newer PC's. 800x600 is likely. Which is totally fine to play CoD 4 with.
While you are diverting from the original point, it still stands. You can play pretty much all of these titles with a very average PC on low settings. Only when you try to add stipulations can you make a case.
