The only game I honestly enjoyed (and finished) was God of War Chains of Olympus. Ah, and Space Invaders Extreme- but this one you can play on any system

That was a real fun- such a comparisson :) GS could post at least 1 screenshot from the original GTA too :P

Vista is a good, stable OS- and I use them mostly for work. I had no issues with games either (anyway now I'm playing on PS3- no worries about patches and compatibility)

Thanks Gamespot, it was usefull! It looks like I’ll have to lower down the settings from maximum, though…

4esth You don't need Vista to cut the trees :D I cut a palm into 3 pieces till it fell down on my XP with directx9c

"Wardenb" My system IS handling (after *crack* of Crysis) Very High Settings- it's a decent Alienware with 8800 GTS 640Mb in the end

"radx800pro", "Hyork" I agree that this *marketing trick* is not from Crytek. The point is that the game is NOT looking better on Vista, and it is NOT faster, but they make Crysis to look better on Vista with such artificial limitations like disabling Very High Quality on XP. And, yes, I know about that *crack*, I *updated* the settings and I was playing around graphics all evening long. The last point- directx9c vs directx10. Directx10 is not about any additional effects. It is for handling larger amount of data- like 2x larger textures, better streaming of more sound effects, etc. The point is- no current hardware can handle what Directx10 is able to handle (so, yes, the future is in the hands of DirectX10). But at the moment there is no use for it. But those morons from Microsoft are using every dirty trick to attract users to their Vista
