you dont need a MEGA rig to run metro playably, i finished it on a 460gtx 768mb version on high settings and it looked really nice and played fine too. Great game though one of my favourites recently
True... but Metro's graphics are so special IMO - the lighting is fantastic - it's not worth playing on turned down settings... save the experience when you can run it in all its glory (with the exception of advanced DoF - I don't notice an image quality difference, only a massive frame rate drop).
I started playing Metro on crossfire 5770s... think I had to keep it down to 1280x720 with no AA to get it anywhere near playable, even without Adv Dof... it was still not a great frame rate
I decided to stop and wait til there was something out that good play it properly... finally have the capability to play at 2560x1440 with everything on and AAA

Very tempted by this. Is it worth it though? Online healthy?
