Yup absoloutly fine S.T.A.L.K.E.R is very well optimised, well you'd think it should be after several years .

Thing is, how can you spend 5 years developing the graphics of a game, because 5 years ago the hardware is completely different to what it is now.

Dev machines are a lot more powerful than our ones. I mean, look at Crysis, afew years ago it would hardly run on a home pc but it would run amazingly on a dev machine.

Also, Stalkers gone through a fair few changes during its development, a lot of things have been updated (hence the delays). When these things are updated they are optimised to run on todays hardware products.

Atleast, thats my understanding of it all
