Well Ive been doing a bit of research on the PC version, and theres a big bunch of people seriously pissed off that you need a Pixel Shader 3.0 capable graphics card to play this game. According the the polls that valve runs through steam, over 40% of gamers have a card that is not 3.0 capable, and thats a lot of people. Sounds like a lot of the ATI's produced over a year ago dont have it (mine included), apparently ATI decided to stick with the 2.0. This is despite the fact that many of these cards are actually more powerful than cards that can play the game, only because they support 3.0. This has to make you wonder, especially with the whole "Nvidia: The way its meant to be played" nonsense, if Nvidia had something to do with this. There is hope though, some guy got it working with a patch he made in about an hour...some textures missing, ect, but its apparently playable. Anyways, hopefully 2K games gets off their lazy asses and just releases a patch that fixes the problem.

On a side note, I did play the demo on my laptop, which has an Nvidia, and it was fun, but it didnt run too well...very beautiful though.
