Is this going to be the new standard for games? If so, I need to upgrade my GeForce 4 MX 440. I know most will just say I should upgrade anyway, but I might hold out and just wait and build a new computer in 6 months or so. But anyway, they used the Unreal engine, so I find it odd that they support just these recent cards. Since the game has been released for XBox, PS2, GameCube and PC, I wonder if they just rushed the work to release it and covered video cards that were easiest and newest. Of course, that is just speculation, however, the GeForce 4 MX series are popular cards, and Dell was putting them in as a low-end upgrade to integrated video just a year ago. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
