    I'll have some screenshots up in a bit, but here's the general idea surrounding STALKER:

    Currently, the game runs at about..10FPS on Medium with Object Orientated Lighting. About 4 FPS with Full Dynamic Lighting. The game runs beautfully with highs of about 60 on Static lighting and tweaking some settings though.

    Yea, Object and Full Dynamic lighting on STALKER can bring even the best DESKTOP hardware to it's knees. :(
