Gonna have to agree. i have a 7950 gt superoverclocked v.c. 4600+ dual core and 2 gigs mem. And the video card has a aftermarket fan that oc's it even more with thermal paste.

There is nothing smooth about this game(im used to bf2,fear,rb6 vegas,stalker,oblivion,arma).And all the graphics on the older games run extremly smooth maxed out. maybe because i dont have direct x10.Even the textures seem grainy and over done(way beyond stalker). The gun animation sucks and the sound is basic....maybe will see what happens after a patch comes out.btw..running new drivers on a nvidia card.

some new..... 

Stalker (except the first 3 hours)

Company of Heros

Neverwinter Nights 2

Command and Conquer 3

Battlefeild 2142

Rainbow six vegas

I had a blast with all of these (on a newer machine).
