UT2K3 is the most stunning graphically...will really push your system. Outdoor levels...fire up Tokara Forest and you'll be stunned. I just found the game itself very boring....didn't hook me like the first UT did. The first UT lasted for years....UT2K3 lasted for maybe a month.

RTCW looked very good...the best use of the Quake3 engine I've seen, but it's still the Q3 engine...only so much they could do with that. RTCW being an older game than MOHAA I believe, and it looks much better than MOHAA.

Aliens Vs Predator 2 is pretyt killer. The Lithetech engine also, looks good, but the ambient sound effects and music REALLY make the Marine campaign truly frightening.

I'm not sure if It's the type of game you are looking for, but Combat Flight Simulator 3 looks kick a$$ and is a very challenging game.

I tried the demo to splinter cell...

finally convienced that I bought the right card!!

holy smokes, NOTHING was turned on and the game looks amazing. I'm going to go beat nolf2 in a couple of days now.

thanks everyone for your help. feel much better about the almost 2 bills I spent now.

Plus, leadtek gf4 ti4200 is amazing for vi. I've put couple of hours in already and converted to vcd. Whole family is SUPER impressed and constantly watching them. even better with nice menu setup through nero.

:rolleyes: BF 1942 or UT 2003 Get's My Vote ! ! :cool:
Max Payne is old but that kicked some arse too !

And as per the topic of Graphics , There is no game advanced enough that you need a graphics card more then 32mb.

Not yet anyway !! Can't wait till the FX card is out though ;)

It's doing well on the XBOX, and everyone has known it's third-person since it was announced, so I don't see why it wouldn't. Believe it or not, there are people who would love to see the glut of FPS games diminish in favor of games like Splinter Cell. Even then, it still is a shooter, albeit one based more upon stealth tactics than an outright strafing onslaught.

Hehe

There may be people like that Burke but in the PC gaming world, the majority prefer 1st person ....

That fact isnt even a question by PC gamers.

It's good to see diversity though and i may even play it even though it is 3rd person. I just prefer 1st Person thats all, its more realistic.

If i wanted to see the top of some guys head id buy a ladder !
LOL

majority is 1st person? blah.. what about all the rpg games? adventure games.. war games.. strategy games...

I like splinter cells 3rd person... it works.. I don't care if it's 1st 2nd 3rd of 14th person.. if it works it works...

it's fun too btw.. that's all that matters...

I'm willing to bet u that splinter cell will sell well on the pc...

Unreal 2 will be the best game graphically and in gameplay within this month, hopefully. You can pre-order it finally
