Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
Well, I just placed my order for an OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit to run via bootcamp and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what settings I can expect to set Crysis to on my machine in my sig? And how much better will Starcraft 2 run in it compared to OSX?
Also does Windows 7 recognise and work with my hardware better like the turbo boost etc compared to my current 32 bit version of XP Pro?

I ran Crysis under Vista last year and it was just fine. I imagine 7 will be better (I know this isn't usually the case with Windows but 7 is much better optimised than Vista). It'll be fine!
I played it on a weaker, older system to yours and I played through on normal settings. Warhead was on high, but that's much more optimised compared to Crysis.

Today's post was brought to you by the word "optimise".

Thanks buddy. Will I be able to have some dx 10 effects and have a half decent frame rate like 30? Not necessarily at the native res.
