    I cracked!! The teasing got too much for me plus I wanted to make sure it was as optimised as they said it was (and not like GTA IV) so that I could start playing it on Friday without having to go looking for fixes.

    I have a I5 2500K (stock) and HD 6870 so was expecting game to run well on medium settings at my native res.

    Just set up my Graphics and ran a few benchmarks.

    Res: 1680x1050 (native res)
    AA on Normal
    Shadow Settings: Normal
    SSA Occulsion also on Normal
    (need to test the above more though I can really see the hit my FPS takes on High/Extreme - maybe a mixture will do)
    HD Texture Pack: On
    Quality Motion Blur: On
    Vsync: Off
    City Detail/Density: High

    Max FPS: 170 FPS
    Min FPS: 74 FPS
    Average: 110 FPS

    Really happy with the results and that average FPS give me some nice room to work with for increasing other settings

    I thought it may be something like that (the AMD video at the start may have gave it away!).

    Makes a nice change as nearly all recent games have been the other way around i.e. favoured Nvidia.

    Yeah, was waiting for the price to drop, I can't just leave it there now.
    Spec Ops: The Line is only 16.99 on there today as well, good enough game but has an excellent story.

    Should be fine I'd say - just turn down the usual things i.e. shadows and especially AA. Depends on CPU and Res as well.

    You may need to turn off the HD textures as I think they require quite a lot of vram (think it may be 750) though while the benchmarks I ran there was little FPS difference between it off and on, you really notice the difference in the world when its turned off.

    It's the worst feeling when your waiting around on Friday and nothing arrives, then it suddenly dawns on you that you now have to wait another 2 days to play it :(

    But of course that won't happen to you!!!

    I've had mine Pre-Downloaded since last night, should be playing it at midnight.

    I guess that's one of the pluses of Steam.... :D

    Yeah I pre-downloaded mine on Tuesday I think but the tempation of testing it got the better of me. I'm glad I did now and those benchmark results will bring a good looking experience.

    I'm also going to use my wireless 360 controller as PC mappings are not the best i.e. they have the annoying console feature of 2-3 actions mapped to one button. It's weird that while I would rather map each of actions to individual keys using a keyboard, I don't actually notice the issue while using an actual gamepad.

    Nice feature of the game is the on screen tips change on-the-fly to whatever control scheme your using at the time so you can easily switch between KB/M and controller.

    Could be worse lads. I'm waiting for both this, and a shipment from Germany that was confirmed shipped early on Monday morning, but still hasn't arrived. :\

    Needless to say, every van or truck that passes by here has me running to the window. :pac:

    Mine hasn't arrived yet, ordered from Gamestop on the regular postage option. If I don't get it tomorrow, it'll be disappointing, but not the end of the world, I've got tons of things to do this weekend anyway, so it might be for the best :p
