One other thing. I am building a new pc down the road and I'm curious what a widescreen monitor runs...anything over 19".
Depends, the Dell 2405FPW 24" LCD has a native resolution of 1920x1200 for instance and smaller ones have usually a native res of 1680x1050 like the NEC MultiSync 20WMGX2
Check this link for widescreen monitors:

Thanks man, you have been a lot of help.

I bet you are just wetting your pants ere
Tell me what its like when you have played it, to be sure.
Good info good find.
Honestly I’m kind of nervous. On one hand I would LOVE to play a demo, on the other I’m afraid of it not living up to my expectations.
Really I want a multiplayer demo the most. The graphics in the MP seem a little lacking in some areas. I want to see it for myself so I’m not as worried about it.
Everyone who has played the multiplayer says it looks amazing but the videos just don’t show it so much. I just want to see.

Oh well that's cool.
I have to keep the $ down as much as I can. If I tried to build a pc over $1500 she would be very unhappy...which means I'm going to be unhappy.
That's why I'll be building it myself.

Well this is the PC I've got on order that should arrive some time very early march:
Processor: Intel Pentium Processor 940 w/ Dual Core Technology 3.2GHz 800MHz FSB
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional UK with SP2
Power Supply: Alienware 495Watt ATX 2.0 Power Supply
Motherboard: Alienware nForce SLI Intel Edition Chipset Motherboard PCI Express SLI
Memory: 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz - 2 x 1024MB
Video Card: 256MB PCI-Express x16 NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX
System Drive: 320 GB Serial ATA-II 7,200 rpm w/16MB Cache
Optical Drive One: 16x Dual Layer DVD±R/W Recorder
Optical Drive Two: 16x Dual Layer DVD±R/W Recorder
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster® X-Fi XtremeMusic
Monitor: 19" LCD Samsung SyncMaster 930BF
Speakers: Logitech headset
Nice!
But man that must have been a pretty penny! Alienware is so expensive...

At least 2 brand new demos are set to be released in the next couple of weeks for the Xbox 360 Marketplace. The demo to the highly anticipated Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter is set to be released on February 22nd, although Ubisoft have given no further details about this demo.
THQ's forthcoming war game, The Outfit, is set to be released a week later on March 3rd, which will feature multiplayer mode. The Outfit game demo will also feature the unique “Destruction on Demand†feature (DOD); which allows players to call in extra tanks, guns, troops, vehicles, artillery, air strikes and basically anything that's going to help them in combat. Reports also show that Japanese fighting game, Ninety Nine Nights, will be released on March 1st; however this may be a Japan only release.
As for King Kong, nobody knows if or when the demo will come to the UK Marketplace In the mean time, a trailer is available under the King Kong section in the Demos and Trailers area of the Marketplace.
Probably not true but who knows....

Sounds like UK only.
They need to let us know asap if it's the same for the US!

Physics and AI are handled by the CPU. I don´t think the game will be CPU-bound (like many racing and flight sims) but like all almost recent games, GPU-bound. The minium specs seem very much like F.E.A.R. minium specs, except that game has a DX8 legacy path, and GRAW seems not to have one. If you can play FEAR or HL2 Lost Coast maxxed out and at a decent framerate, I think GRAW should play at similar settings with similar performance.
I see. Well I can deal with medium settings as long as it runs decent. I just don't want it running under say...30 fps or so. I can't be real picky right now.
One other thing. I am building a new pc down the road and I'm curious what a widescreen monitor runs...anything over 19".
-
Well that's good news.
I'm curious how taxing GRAW will be really. Like I said I played the lockdown demo and it ran smooth, I know that's not saying much but I'm really curious if GRAW will be overly demanding on the gpu. The video I saw looked like there were a lot of physics involved which would be more of a cpu kind of thing...right?
I guess it's a wait and see type of thing.

BIGOLBRAIN: In that price gap I would say an ATI 1600XT or Nvidia 6800GS. I´ve seen that new 7800GT sell for as little as 250€, and maybe if you pull a lucky shot you can get a used one for $200.
Thanks, I'll look around for some deals after I play the demo. If it plays really bad I'll do a little upgrade.
Thanks agian.

Ok, I have a question and I didn’t want to start a new topic so I’m going to ask here and bump this one up.
I haven’t been keeping up so much with PC GPUs for a while now. I’m using my pc here at work, which is a decent pc other than the gpu, until I build my new pc around the end of the year or the beginning of next year.
So right now the gpu is ATI FireGL V3100 (PCI-E)…great for microstation / AutoCad but not so great for games….though it plays the COD2 and lockdown demo very well.
Anyway, if I wanted to replace the gpu with another what’s the best gpu I could get for say….$150 - $200? I don’t want to drop much on this pc because I’m building a new one at the end of the year.
Thanks for any advice.

I'd watch my tongue, young Cutter...the Ban-Fu is strong in this one....
I have felt the sting of her lash upon my haunches...and it caused weeping and gnashing of teeth...do not make direct eye contact either, it only enrages her more...
All I meant was I don't check the console forum, I don't have a console. Just saying that since this pertains to BOTH platforms it should be in both forums, I'm sure alot of people looking for GR:AW PC info don't check the GR:AW console forum. I agree. I have posted stuff over there that had already been posted over here and the mods deleted it. I don't really understand that because a lot of the console guys don't come over here so they never saw it.
Why shouldn't it be on both boards?

The siteowner of the Demonews verified with Ubisoft Beneluxe to make absolutely sure the data was still sound. And Ubi said that the xbox 360 demo will be around the 9th of March, but that there is no set date for the Pc Demo.
Sorry, fokes!
Cheers
That's strange, it's been said from amy sites the 360 demo would be out "around" a week before the 9th.
Oh well....who knows?
I'll PM GhostNine1 on the IGN boards and see if he will give me any info.

hd video is much better.

Sweet...
Now i get to see just how bad it's going to run on my pc.

Environment is great, but (some) troopers are bland and animation is not smooth.
Serellan, put more textures on those soldiers!
Thank you Lysander!
Same thing I was thinking! They look like "cut & paste" figures from GR2.
Animations were just flat out awful.
I had to go back and watch the multiplayer video preview just because I didn't want to remember it that way.
-
-
Yeah but it looks very weak imo.
Especially the graphic and damn I hate the whole lone wolf thing.
The multiplayer video preview from a couple weeks ago looked a lot better than this. Oh well…might just be the quality of the video.
-
Hate to say it but that just wasn’t all that impressive.

I got the bottom one to dl.
No idea how reliable this site is but it’s saying
in GR:AW - Xbox 360

I just watched the Gamespot HD gameplay videos and it does look very good. It's just that last Co-Op trailer looked a little weak imo. Kind of scared me.
