My system gets a paltry ~30 fps with full dynamic lighting and medium settings.

I want to enjoy this game with the full dynamic lighting, so I think I'll wait till I upgrade unless even high end cards can't run this game.

How do you guys with 8800 GT cards run this game on 1680 x 1050?

Can't speak to that res, but I run STALKER maxed with AF + AA forced through the driver at 12x10 and have nary a hitch. Them X1950s just don't have the pure shader grunt that the HD38xx and 8800s have.

And let's not forget, STALKER is seriously heavy - but at least it's pretty enough to justify it.

My 8800GT runs it just fine. Although I tried it again with ABC Inferno and it was just ridiculously hard. I think I'll switch back to vanilla.

I am running 1920x1200 with all details maxed out with full lighting and 8800GT handles the game really well, very smooth stable FPS. Have Q6600 at 3.0Ghz and 4GB RAM.

What kind of AA and AF?

And is it 60+ fps?

even the guys with 2900xt - me - run STALKER at 10x16 with everything maxed including FDL - there is no AA except the weak 'in-game' AA - and the FPS never drop below 30 ... so 3850 or 3750 would probably also be fine

HD3XXX and Geforce 8 series can force AA through the driver that does work with deferred shading.
