This was on gamespot a while ago

Yeah, two weeks ago.

This is a watermark-free version and it was exclusively sent to the many Crysis fan sites, like inCrysis from which it then spread all over the web.

This is also a revised version of the original which was first shown at the Game Developers Conference in early March.

Just so that you all know, through reading a lot of interviews with developers and watching just about every video released for this game. You will not HAVE to buy an amazing gaming machine to run this game. From what I understand it will be highly optimized for average computers. (Just don't expect to get the eye watering visuals)

Define "average."

I would say I have an average computer, but it is not really average as far as gaming is concerned. I still have an AGP based GPU, and I am sorry, seeing how S.T.A.L.K.E.R. pretty much runs like ass, I just cannot help but feel I need a much better computer than the one I own now.

So average is all relative.

If you upgrade your components on a semi-regular basis, okay, average may cut it (although honestly even then I have my doubts about how well a modern "average" computer will perform).

If you have not upgraded in over a year, than my "average" computer is not going to cut it.

My problem will be my "average" PC is hooked up to a 24 inch display. hah. I can cope just in stalker on my 2+ yr old rig (AGP too) but I think stalker will be that final nail in the coffin unless I can tolerate lower res gameplay.

Great point actually. I have a 20" Dell Widescreen, and indeed it is one of the reasons S.K.R. does look like ass. 1024 filling up 1680 just does not look good.

Sorry that should have been Crysis but I think people get the point

Anyway yeah, lower res isnt that great so I've had to deal with Stalker looking and running sub par to try keep the res up. NWN2 I managed to play lower but for a game that slow I really had no issues. With my PC being over 2 years old now I was bound to upgrade this year anyway. Prob Nov/Dec which should leave me in quite a good position to play this.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
