Really? I thought DX11 was just DX10 + a little added tesselation in flags & the faster HBAO rendering path... the majority of the IQ improvements come from DX10, not 11...

I have a laptop with Core 2 Duo T6500 cpu & Ati 4670 gpu, how would BC2 run on this? Thinking of buying it after the disappointment of CodMW2 (which runs fine btw).

Depends what your definition of fine is... if you're happy with the performance you get in MW2 on that rig - I can't imagine you would complain at the BC2 performance...

Yet more BC2

What are people's opinions on Metro 2033? The graphics look awesome but I'm not one for jumpy/scary games

IMO i think it would be a more FPS based version of FO3

If you don't like jumpy/scary games, then you won't like this matey... only played for a few hours and already had me jump a good few times... lol... and I don't scare too easily, especially from games :S

doesnt affect the glare bug through scopes if you turn bloom off

It makes it not so bad. Every little helps

Speaking of which... more Metro 2033:

crinkleshoes · 28 Mar 2010 at 20:22

Through a bit of seraching, I found a neat little trick to bump FPS in this game... enabling v-sync in the cfg file...

Yes, it normally hinders fps... but in this instance... Metro 2033 apparently has the various 3D elements enabled by default, which can't be switched off... enabling v-sync disables this & it gave me an extra 20fps (almost double)... It was running about 20-30fps average with DX11 + tesselation (no DX11 DoF)... now it's running 40-50 average... much more playable

Compelling story & fun to play... when the frame rate isn't a slide-show lol!

lol... keep taking screenies of this game... it's so darn pretty!

Do these screenshots of Metro 2033 not do it justice? because everyone has been saying its looks amazing, but imo those screenshots dated to me, I'd compare them with half life 2.

metro 2033 worth buying? it looks great on the surface.

Noticeably better lighting than crysis... can't be compared to hl2 lol.

But as I said above, the screens don't do it justice...

Metro looks nice but i get scared playing games like that

I have to agree with you, maybe you have to see the lighting in action but from what i see there are far better looking games out there.

I find the game rather dull looking but maybe thats the point

Never been a fan of dark games.

The only thing thats impressed me from the screenshot at least was the lighter shots

those metro SS look incredibly atmospheric :eek:

Is it just FPS or are there puzzles and stuff?

FPS... quite a bit of optional stealth aswell... which I have been enjoying (surprisingly, I'm normally a run-and-gunner lol...)
