    13.1 and later Catalyst Drivers makes the 7850 faster than the 6970. 7850 = 130 Watt TDP/6970 = 250 Watt TDP.

    I have heard otherwise where the CPU cores can be up to 2.4 GHz by December. Which would make it as fast or faster than the Opteron 4365 EE.

    The OP does have a good point, BUT, it's short sighted... See, if they produce a game based on Dx9 (who doesnt have Dx9? I think my PHONE has Dx9), then that means MORE people have access to it. Down the road, when the next gen consoles are able to run Dx11, the devs will have had time to make a version of the game that is capable of running Dx11. Also, not everyone with 360 or PS3 will be waiting in line at walmart to get a new ps4 or 720. If Trion made Dx11 RIGHT now, that would screw every console out of the game until the next gens come out.

    If you want the bestest newest and shiniest stuff right away, then keep looking. Come back when you're ready, or dont. You have a very well structured post, with a valid concern, but I just answered the reason for you.

    Cliffnotes version:

    Available to more platforms = more money. More money = more higher end options down the road. Your 100 bucks is not even a drop in the bucket, and many players that are "stuck" with their 360/ps3 for a while yet, are happy (even if they dont know it) that Trion made the game available with easier and lower system requirements.

    Eh... Man, as a PC god myself, I can understand how you mean. I want to get the most out of a game. It should be shiny and new, but as far as them not innovating and not risking anything? You're acting a fool. If you follow any of the development blogs for the franchise, you'll see how much went into this as a joint project. It's a well thought out opinion, but not one that comes with any real experience or hands on with the game.

    Don't preorder, but DO give it a look after launch. If it's fun, and you get your monies worth, why complain what went into building it?

    EDIT: Just noticed this guy has been a super jerk bag in later posts. Reporting the posts where he threatens other forum members with physical harm and walking away.

    Well I don't know where you got that % from since my 2 year old gaming PC (which by today's standard is mid end)only uses 0%cpu about 20% ram and 0% GPU and SSD,

    Watt has nothing to do with graphic card performance, and according to toms hardware the 7850 scores a 54 and the 6970 scores a 60 even though its a few years older and has less GDDR5

    And like I said I have not seen anything about this unless you got a link?

    Why would anyone want to design an mmo for the best specs, and death graphics of doom...

    Isn't that counter-productive though?

    They don't care, they have the strongest gaming rigs in the market. So as a result, they feel devs HAVE to develop their games with the highest in graphics.

    Hey, hey now! I've got a big ol powerhouse that eats weaker computers for breakfast, but I would rather have a weaker looking game that all my friends can play, as opposed to the shiniest new graphics with minimum requirements that make Alienware's sweat :P
