So is this supposed to prove anything? I'm pretty sure that the best graphics of this gen on consoles beats the best graphics on PC from LAST gen.

You should allow recent mods. That would be more fair.

First off PC does not have generations, secondly even if it did how would comparing a last gen systems graphics to a current generation system a fair comparison?

Well seeing how the G80 series launched a few days before all three consoles hit the market; the hardware to exceed them was already available before the current console generation started.

The games available at the time was not a indiciation of PC hardware capability, as with console launch games it takes a while for the software to catch up with the hardware.

Pick a side? You know for a fact 2009 console games will exceed pre console launch PC games, it's common sense.

This is just a petty attempt to handicap PC because that's the only way console will ever gain the graphical advantage.

If you have the slot to support it. Should be no problem.

My friend uses and old AMD 3200+, 2 GB DDR 400 and a 9500 GT that is over clocked by a ton... He can play all modern games just fine at 1440 x 900 res.

Get the latest FakFactory mods. It gives much more detailed character models.

This is a pic from the older version though.

It gives a couple models, it's just preference if you like them more.

I believe this is the whole file:

Half-Life 2 - FakeFactory Cinematic Mod V9.5 HD Mod Complete

It's big though, clocking in at 9.1GB.

It took me a while, so it's up to you if it's worth it :P

That a console game released around 08 - 09 looks better than a pc game released from last gen. I find it stupid for people to make threads that has obvious bias to their console of choice. I mean, if you want to have a graphic war, then let the pc show what it can really do, same goes for consoles. This reminds me of the poll of which console had the better web browser. TC added xbox360 to the poll. stupid imo.

Source Engine is one beast of an engine! Anyways, I still think that KZ2 looks better than anygame on the source engine. Sure with mods, the models look fantastic on Source, but KZ2 has all the little visual flairs that really put it above a lot of games.

If you have a PCI-E slot, yes, it will.

I though the 7 series were availabe in AGP as well.
