    The jokes loose their magic once they are translated :(

    I would spend a good amount of time just standing listening them telling storries :D

    I got S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
    Looks like I'll be setting every video setting to low or off, I got like 10 fps in the intro video and 20 fps playing in that little room yous start in.

    Oh my god, you're trying to play Stalker with something less than a GeForce 7800? Good luck with that

    Dynamic lighting and AA are usualy the culprits behind major lag...

    6600 here too on medium or whatever the default is. Looks pretty good too :)

    I'm guessing it'll run fine on my 7800GT then...

    7600GT with a minor boost of OC(590/800stock 627.5/831) at all settings high -=o

    30-55fps

    I like the guns in the game -=3

    Just got it for my bday 2 days ago. Tried it properly yesterday. Downloaded the patch and a couple of user mods. That float32 jobby and a performance and quality user.ltx file. Ended up going back to the default user.ltx file.

    AA is horrible in this game. Just a generic blur meaning you can't make out distant objects. Yuck.

    Apart from that though the graphics are quite good. A bit gritty but I'll probably get used to that. AI seems quite good.

    Pretty good framerate on my C2D 6300, 7900GS(650/820), 2GB PC6400C4. AA did seem to kill it though but when I turned that off it was good again.

    Very nice lighting. Grass is a bit manky though.

    Just done the first mission so far. Seems pretty good. Gonna take a bit of getting into though.

    I felt the same way at first but it picked up for me after the underground section and doing the lab missions :)

    The things that lag the most are Shadows, Dynamic lighting, and AA.... I turned those a bit down, and instead took high res textures and models... The game looks great (And I disabled grass... I hate grass, things hide in it and it lags)

    I'm running a Radeon X700. 256 mb. 1 gig of stock P.O.S. ram from HP. 3.2 Ghz p4.

    I have every setting possible to low or off, and the world details don't get drawn until I get in close about 5 feet. That meaning the trees are giant blobs that look like randomly cut rock formations until I get really close to them.

    It makes the game seem more alien, you should try it.

    Crysis will make my CPU explode and my GFX card melt.
    Check my specs in the post above.
