Obviously many were less than satisfied with the initial FC2 preview but what do you expect this early in the game. I'm sure in a day or three there will be reviews with 1680x1050 et al. Besides no one's decision to buy or not buy the game was affected by the preview. Having said all that I voted no. :D
 
The preview was good, it beat every other reputable site to the punch, however a godly res like that lol. But still the argument is there that if ur gonna game with a gtx280, u better have at least a 1900x1200 monitor. And that ain't too far from the cream of the crop res. Im just glad i got a glimpse of the 4850...i mean 30 fps at that res, i play half that...can't wait :D
 
I think that's the point too. I understand they won't test 8800GT's and 3870's even though many guys have those. But 1920x1200 has got to still be [H]
 
Of course! Analysis of the data presented gives me a reasonably good idea how the game will perform on my rig running at 1680 x 1050; system configuration considering.
 
It was helpful in that now that I know the 4850 can run it adequatly enough at that resolution, that I should have no problems at my res (19x12) but it only gave a rough idea at best for everyone except those with 30" displays which is a very small percentage of gamers. Also, the further away you are from 2560x1600 the less helpful it is.

For a PREVIEW though I can't complain and it was pretty helpful, most previews aren't anywhere close to being even that detailed. Now if that was a REveiw, it would be horrible.
 
If a 4850 can almost run the game maxed out at 2560x1600, obviously it can run it with everything maxed at 1680x1050. That's just common sense. Stop being such whiners and use your fucking brains for once.
 
2560*1600 is mostly useful for high end video cards.
Testing a 9500GT at 2560*1600 or a 4870X2 at 1024*768 would be generally irrelevant.

QFT. It's simple logic really....I don't understand why people can't grasp that. I, personally, had absolutely no problem with [H]'s preview, and I game at a res that's not even close to 2560x1600 (1600x1200 for me....)
 
Given the controversy over the review this relates to, this poll is obviously going to turn into a Vote Yes if: You want to defend [H] No: If you actually think the review wasn't helpful and don't care whether or not you can justify spending your entire life on this forum which gives crappy reviews.
