Anything that IGN gives a 9.7 to is worth buying....

Well, it's personal preference I guess. I still haven't played the demo, I'll make decision after that. :)

I'm waiting for my new 8800 to get back to me from trade-in. I'm installing the demo on my x1950pro machine. I hope all will run well...

It should run fine in DX9 on a 1950, the min req is an X1300, so i'd assume a 1650XT and up would give good performance.

its a joke, come on putting a hold on the demo?? 7pm EST on Monday the 20th wait a few extra hours for the full game. Sad....I'm almost scared to install this game on my system, no telling what kind of anti-piracy crap their throwing in for free.

You'll have to post your results of with your X1950 Pro as I'm hoping I'll be able to run the game with decent quality settings at 1680 x 1050.
