We cant say for sure but it should be fine! The developers seem to be giving the PC version a lot of TLC so i think they will be bothered to do some optimizing in the process.

Are you crazy! :D

The game named Mass Effect playing on XBOX360 and PC has a great graphics difference. So you never until a day when a new PC graphics card will release, you cannot play the games at PC like playing at XBOX360, the main reasons are that at PC the game will crash but at XBOX360 very rarely, the details at XBOX360 are better than playing at Computer.

My native language is Albanian! :)

And I want to say that playing Mass Effect at XBOX360 is better than playing it at your computer.

Reasons:

1. At XBOX no Freezes ( crashes ).

2. Better image quality at HD TV.

3. Others.

Is it clear to get?

Maybe but do not think same. You will not be able to play it at High Settings with a great FPS Frame Rate, so it will (freeze) or at game will be FPS around 20-30 Rate and it is not a great result of playing it and got excited. :)

I agree partly. :)

A High PC is better than a XBOX360.

Because at a Medium PC you do not get good frame rates.

So with an 8800GT/E4500/2GB, what should I be expecting? Better graphics? Better FPS? Both? Neither?

I'll be playing on 1280x1024, or 1024x768 if need be.

Probably you can play the game at High Settings with a good frame rate in that resulution.

So you can play the game at High Settings.

the 8800GT will run the game on high with no problem. ownys, you know nothing about PC's and your idiot posts only prove it more and more. A medium GPU will give you the same or better FPS at 360 games like Bioshock or Oblivion and give you better graphics. Go troll on some other board please.

The PC version will feature an improved version of the 360's "questionable" inventory system and decryption mini-games. On top of those minor changes, will be the ability to use hot key assignments and, of course, better graphics at higher resolutions.

Lmao @ Owyns, he has no idea.

The Xbox 360 is a peice of garbage that runs everything at med-full detail / with a little or no anti aliasing.

Mass Effect on a Medium or High spec computer will look outstanding compared to the console.

That makes no sense a medium pc will give good good frames on medium settings. Just because the settings are lower doesn't mean the frames plumish because of it

Have you guys even played mass effect on the 360.

It's a total technical disaster.

8800GT runs assasins creed better than the 360 and games dont get more unoptimized than AC.

lol crashing :lol: you have very lil understanding baout pcs dont you

playing ME on the pc at medium is still alot better looking then playing on the console and if you play on high it wont crash

and its very rare for pc games to crash on the computer cuz of playing on hihg usually a pc gamer knows the limit but nowadays an 8800gt will play any game on high without troubole (exc3ept for crysis)

i wouldnt go that far...a technical disaster would be a game that crashes constantly and has show stopper bugs in it. if u want to see a technical disaster, play vampire the masquerade bloodlines in unpatched form...now theres a technical disaster to be prowd of :P (a great game lurks under those bugs though). it has a few graphical glitches and some annoying loading times...thats it really. in all my time playing it on 360, its never crashed and i havent found any major bugs in quests and such like.

as for the PC version....itll definately be better. graphically it wont be a million miles away from the 360 version but it should look a bit better and graphical glitches should be far les noticable. the big benefits though should come from the quicker loading and mouse and keyboard support.

If you have a decent PC, it'll be worth getting Mass Effect for it just because of the interface improvements. As much as I like it on the 360, I'm waiting to play through it a 2nd time until I get it for the PC for that reason only. The fact that it will look better, most likely have less graphical glitches, and faster loading times is just the icing on the cake.

No it has framerate issues as well and terrible loading times.

By playing mass effect you just get the feeling that the game is too much for the system.

Considering it uses the Unreal 3 engine, I get the feeling that it was released before enough optimizations were made by the developers....
