    Hi. I recently got the CALL OF JUAREZ demo on my P100 laptop and it will only play at min settings! (1024x768 res). My card is a 7600 with 256mb and is capable of playing FEAR at max settings!..
    Would CALL OF be preforming so badly because its only an unfinished demo version or what? Has onyone else tried this game on their machine and had the same problem?? I would like to get the full game if i knew that it would preform more smoothly.

    No, I have the full game, the game really needs a very high end graphic card, I have a X1400 and I run the game in low res (800x600) and medium settings + shader 3.0 and sometimes I get 16 FPS when I get through alot of grass.

    Hmm, I tried the demo, I ran it on med-high settings at 1024 x 768, although sometime it did dip below 20.... it still ran pretty well for the graphics it had.

    My god I can only imagine how demanding Crysis will be!!!! ALthough i have to say the graphics in Call of Juarez are probably the best iv seen. and they are definately the most lifelike! The landscape details are amazing as well as every other detail in the game! I might add that when i turn the shodows off, the fps pretty much doubles and the game runs very smooth BUT that TOTALLY runs the look of it!!
    DOOM3 has the most georgeous graphics of any game iv tried so far tho..
    How would you fellas rate CALL OF JUAREZ yourslef as im seriously considering buying it..
