^You say it like if games like Crysis didn't look better than anything the PS3 could offer even on the Medium settings :/

Oh gawalls how much you miss :(

I know by posting on this thread your heart must be crying out for me to convert you into the wonderful world of PC gaming, explaining to you how you can game perfectly well on a small budget, and yet I feel no need to do so, for now your happy in your own world of consoles and so I'll leave you there till your ready to open your mind to a wider experience..

I could run Crysis on Medium Setting with my graphics card freezing just once. But it's like everyone says right? In five years you can run Crysis on a budget PC which means again, my computer will be vastly outdated and can probably run those games on the lowest setting. However, consoles will still get those same games that'll run and look better than what my PC can do and they haven't changed at all. I say in five years, developers will figure out a way to program a game like crysis for the PS3 and Xbox 360 (maybe not on the highest setting but far above than what my PC can support)

I dunno, 37 FPS on the highest settings would actually look pretty flippin sweet.

You mean until he's ready to open his wallet, and dump it out? And then get a credit card? Or a second mortgage?

 The same thing is true for Supreme Commander.  You'd need a NASA computer to run the largest maps with 8 players on max settings.  It'll look great for years to come.

this game needs 4gb of ram, maybe 8 if possible. I'm pretty sure 8800Gt SLI, intel extreme quad core and 4 gigs of ram should run this pretty well.

My specs were
Vista dx10 mode
2gb ram
8800 GTS 500mb
e6750
28 inch monitor (1900x1200)

needless to say, my rig got raped by the demo which pretty much stopped me from buying this game. Pretty dissapointing, since my computer pretty much destroys games that got released after Crysis without a sweat. They should have spent more time to optimize.
