The GT300/Fermi Thread

The first Stalker game started being developed in 2001 - I saw screenshots showcasing the graphics in 2002 and they didn't really look so much worse than those taken in 2007. Yes, that's right, like 9 years ago. In DirectX 8. Do you really think they re-made the engine from the scratch for CoP? Since it doesn't look that much better than SoC, I believe a whole ton of code they've written has been made in 2001, no wonder it's so sluggish...

Haha, brilliant!

The game's bugginess every release should've been a sure enough sign of bad coding

It's true that Valve and Blizzard games aren't as stunning visually as a lot of games out there, but they're so damn well optimized that they'll run on damn near anything GeForce 6600 or later

I take your Geforce 6600 and lower it with my Radeon 9600XT!
HL-2 looked awesome. it still looks okay now (though, way to many poly's) but compared to some stuff out there right not it actually still looks great. the facial animation and emotion.. the physics..
