    1.) What game out right now (or coming out in the next month) has the most impressive graphics?

    2.) On my system below, what limitations will I have when playing supreme commander?

    3.) Is it possible for me to run supreme commander on full settings with a decently large skirmish? If not, can I on medium settings?

    Thanks in advance

    Crysis and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars I think are two upcoming games with the most impressive graphics. I think I'd also probably point to BioShock and Unreal Tournament 2007.

    I would guess that in terms of limitations from your current setup, the GPU would be somewhat of a limitation, but it would mainly just be that you might not be able to run on the highest detail settings, etc.

    From what I've read, Supreme Commander should be fine on your setup with medium settings, but full settings might be pushing it.
