It's a sad day indeed.

Well it's official my machine can not handle the Unreal 3 engine... Evedently the jump from the x600 to x1300 is enough to make it not run. I'm not sure maybe it's because the x600 only uses pixel shader 2 (I think?).

Bioshock is a no go. So I'm assuming Unreal 3 is a no go? I hope not, but if you know please let me know... I guess I could wait the extra two months after it comes out til I build a new machine.. But damnit I want to play it!.

This is the first game (Bioshock) that I've installed that will not run at all LOL. Guess the jump from last may (LOTRO etc) was enough to bump me off the bandwago. Oh well atleast LOTRO and the Source Engine run find at all high.

Jump to X1300 card is not recommended. Get X16X0 series card or better.

I'm not upgrading now heh, when I do it will most likely be an hd2900 ati card when I build my new rig in Jan. This machine now is a laptop with an x600 mobility.
