Just Cause 2 on PC with Nvidia added features=best graphics since Crysis

The game uses CUDA and the water and just everything about looks sick.

It is a true DX10 game (no XP support or DX9)

Best graphics since Crysis no doubt.

Check this out in case you haven't seen it.

Hey look its the nvidia employee..

but yeah the game does look good.... and its hella fun.

Oh man, That looks sick! :O

The best thing about it is that the game actually looks that good with these settings enabled. My GTX 280 struggles a bit at higher resolutions, but boy does it look incredible.

The game is mostly about fun and exploring though, the fact that it's one of the best looking games ever is merely a (much welcome) bonus. :)

I played the demo on my PC that cost me more than 1000 Euro 2 years ago (I got it for video editing but its also a decent gaming rig, i can run crysis on high/very high in 1080p) and it constantly crashed after 10-15 minutes so i bought the PS3 version. Stuff like that is why i'm not a fan of PC gaming.

What's up with all the nVidia topics lately? It's starting to smell like astroturf in here.

That said, it is purdy (the game, not astroturf).

Having played the demo I wasn't impressed by the visuals, then again; little impresses me these days visual wise. Maybe graphics just don't impress me anymore?

Maybe if they enhanced the textures it wouldn't look just like another console game, they can pile on new effects; but it is still 256mb Vram type textures under it all.

I played Just Cause in 3D at the NVIDIA booth and it looked great but not Crysis great.

I was also at NVIDIA's launch of the 480 and the demonstration was pretty awesome. They "crank that s#!t up" and blew up a bridge into 1 million particles in 3D.

My 8800gts 320mb struggles a bit at this game. Runs it pretty well with max settings at 1680x1050, but it is a little slower than i would like. The view distance is just astounding, though.

You should excuse yourself.

Hardware brand fanboyism is even more ridiculous than console fanboyism, at least consoles can use exclusives as a reason to argue for platform X over platform Y. Nvidia and ATI run the exact same games, it is silly to pick sides when you can simply go with whoever has the best offer at the time; which it not always one over the other.

As for DX being a scam, that's just... something I cannot say in here.

well....it looks good, but i like crysis water effects better....i think the water looks kinda plastic...the demo definately looks better rendering night than day....but it is very pretty

That's certainly the best draw distance in a video game.

GameSpot took points off the PC version for not supporting Windows XP....Zero5000X

I have to be honest, the 'added' pc efefcts look really close to whats already on the 360/ps3 versions. The game in general looks really great, especially when sky diving from far up and the view of the mountains, all covered in snow and fog rolling down off them... just beautiful in the evening sunset.

thats not true maybe they run the same games but times have changed. Both try now to bring different visuals into PC games. Nvidia has Physx and brought 3D vision into gaming. While ATI has Eyfinity and for a long time DX 10.1 and DX 11 until femi came out.SLI_Gamer

They run the same games... everything you listed are side stuff that will influence your decision; but they run the same games at the end of the day.

I don't know. The water looked great, but the way it interacts with other things didn't look too good.

The water is really impressive when GPU Water Simulation is On, That's All!

The water didn't look like it reacted to being interacted with at all... The biggest up side was the dark spot that appears under you when you're on the ground :P

Me too, at 1680x1050 I had to put AA=4X, shadows&SSOA=medium, everything else maxed @ 35 FPS. But it looks awesome nonetheless, btw happy gaming:)

Hmmm, bit annoyed tbh.

The Bokeh Filter requires DX10.1 hardware, my SLI 8800GT's can't do it! No fair!

Still a sweet game.

I have not played it on PC but, man, this game looks fantastic on PS3. First off its one of the best open world sandbox games ive ever played. The graphics are really stunning for this type of game with no frame rate issues at all, at least on the PS3 version.djsifer01

After all the threads you made, you're not exactly the person with the most credibility here to be able to challenge people.
