It amazes me how light of a game GCII is. Graphically stunning, yet super-responsive. I'm running on a 2405 native res (1920x1200), with everything in game set to full detail except for LOD, which is one below max. 4x FSAA, 8X Anisotropic, on an Athlon XP 3000+ / Radeon 9800 Pro 128, and it runs smoother than Solitaire. :p

I agree - GCII runs really well, even on systems that aren't up to games that look half as good. :D The only concession I had to make when running it on a 5900XT was no AA - everything can go to max with a 6800GT. The level of detail in the game is fantastic - it looks better than Dawn of War, which runs less smoothly, and it looks miles better than C&C: Generals, which for some odd reason doesn't do too well on my system. It's playable, but gets a bit sluggish occasionally.

I guess GCII is just really well optimised. :D

Well I must say you guys have piqued my curiosity. Nothing makes me like a game more than widespread compatability and an optimized engine. Will Definitely download the demo and fire this baby up. :twisted:
