I won't do the math because on steam there is no tax and I don't pay vat in the us...just admit you are wrong. One single site means zero especially when it is in a region outside where I can buy them. I don't run PAL format on my TV for console games either.

I did the math

$24.50 for Skyrim Downloaded Via Steam purchased from Shopto.net

What has PAL got to do with a PC game lol

Now admit your wrong

Not that I agree with Fx1... but you are also using Steam as your "one single site".

I agree the prices are too high for me, but if people are buying it, the price is not too high, period.

STEAM is friggin great and I love it to death. I also have grown to like Origin. It has a cute symbol and I like that orange color....but on to my actual question....did you get a new rig? I noticed some high powered items in your sig and I can't remember if you've had that comp for a while or not?

Thats really nice, awesome that its out of box quality and not requiring mods, so they really did cater to the PC crowd. +1 for Crytek.

Yeah for sure. They said they'd give us a game we couldn't run, and they delivered. No single card can do it, you need two high ends. Still not half as brutal as original crysis was, but this will do nicely.

I wonder if the reviewers will have time to benchmark TITAN with C3.

Those pics look awesome!! Glad to see that the graphics in SP campaign is the real deal. Living up the hype now. A very good looking PC game in SP mode for sure. :)

Imagine how incredible the game would look if they had actually succeeded. :rolleyes:

That poster was clearly talking about MP component, not the full game. Way to take his comment out of context. Many people here rightfully ripped the MP graphics apart. They were poor. Good to see that SP is totally different.

I think ill buy it this week if its out. I usually leave default settings and set the res up to 1920x1080. I know I was able to max crysis 2 and it was playing decently for me.

In that case I don't feel like using 2 7970's just for this. I'd rather upgrade later when I change mobos and CPU too

Pay attention:

Some of you clearly live in la-la land if you think they're hiding something for release.

:whiste: Anything else? I didn't take the quote out of context, your post is false.

It will function, but your FPS will be low. To get decent frames it looks like we need two cards or the mythical Titan.
That only applies if you want full AA/AF and Extreme quality and so on.

Playing on High with a decent dose of AA/AF won't be a problem for single cards. Usually the difference between high and extreme isn't that much to write home about anyway, at least nothing that will make you think you're playing with poor graphics.

Those screenshots looks great :awe: I wonder how it would run on my rig? 1080p maxed with SMAA as the only AA? 30+ FPS? Doable?

He's right though, in Europe PC games are ALWAYS cheaper than console games. couple examples:

Aliens on amazon.co.uk
Crysis 3 on Amazon.de
Crysis 3 on play.com

Apparantly that's not the case in the US. So you're both right, rejoice!

/end OT

Wasn't sure about getting this, but this just looks amazing. Maps seem to be more open too, so I'll probably get it after first price-drop now.

Wow, great looking game! Brings my system to its knees, but its playable for single player. Not for multiplayer without drastically reducing settings. Has nice 360 controller support too, can switch between controller and kb/mouse on the fly.

Here's some 2560x1440 shots

You play at the same resolution as myself. How is the game running on your single GTX 680? Smooth or choppy, and what settings are you using?

I'm wondering whether my GTX 580 SLI will allow me to run the game at very high quality settings..

Is there any review out now showing CPU benchmarks? I would assume this game would take advantage of 4 core or more.

Had this for months now.

Gonna get this when the price drops, too much else to play currently.
