Superb lighting! Everything else was just average (the crowd was just okay, the water was TERRIBLE).

Too bad I have to shell out $300+ for a DX11 capable card just to appreciate the improvements, though

$159, look it up on Newegg.

I like to play my games maxed out, thanks.

That point of view simply doesn't work with computers. There is always one more higher setting you can implement somewhere which will tank performance. That $160 card cannot be overly taxed by anything less than a 22" LCD at full resolution.

Well then, good thing I play at 1920x1200 (24'') instead of 1680x1050 (22'') eh?

Still...I'd rather only have to buy an uber expensive card right now and have it last 2-3 years while being able to play new games at their highest settings instead of going the cheap(ish) route and have to upgrade annually. My 8800GTX lasted a couple years, and could max everything sans Crysis at playable framerates, but now it's time for an upgrade.
