Required/Recommended/MAX ?

[CorCentral]

On most pc games there are PC requirements listed as "Required/Recommended"

Would'nt it be nice to have a MAX listing? You know, where a game will no longer play any better on the system listed as MAX. At least it would give us a better idea on what we'd need to play the game maxed out and could go no further.

I suppose today it would be tougher with all the higher requirements for games, but a year or so ago, it would've been decent.

i don't see how they would keep the MAX requirements up-to-date with all the changes in hardware. interesting concept though.

That's not really pratical, because there when a new game comes out, there usually isn't a system that can play it on max. For example, I don't think there's a system out there that could play Quake4 at 2048x1536 6xAA 16xAF. And, for all intents and purposes, the faster the system, the faster it'll play the game.

You'd have to have a crystal ball.

hmm... i wasn't even thinking of SLI...

I guess dual 7800 512's could probably play it, though.

i stand corrected.
