    I used to play quite a bit. It got a bit mundane, but this new one definitely has my interest.

    Been playing Civ since Civ 2. I still remembering making my parents upgrade our PC to 16MB of RAM just so I could see the heralds.

    I've been giving myself a break from Civ 4 this month. Got Civ 5 on pre-order... can't wait. Though I'm a little afraid they've messed the game up with some key feature changes... we'll see.

    I play on and off. Really on and off, like 2 hours every 3 weeks. I hate the diplomacy part. I just kill off every other civ in the world.

    but yeah, this civ 5 looks tight!

    It's just getting too indepth now, way to slow. I was a huge fan since Civ 1 back in the day, infact I still have civ 1. Civ Revolution, while NOT close to being indepth was still fun and I could still play a game or 2 online and still have a life. Civ 5... jeebus, am I going to have to physically put food in my subjects mouth now?

    I'll probably jump back onboard once they figure out the online part for the PC versions.

    Supposedly with Civ 5 you aren't going to be micromanaging as much, the AI has been improved according to PC gamer.

    From what Ive seen, the game no longer has in-depth menus, all the options are made directly from the playing screen. Its going to be a pretty damn good game. If anybody wants to get in on some multiplayer action get the game and lets get to it. Oh yeah and no more spear man killing tanks or helos.

    My PC?

    Or did you mean the specs of my PC?

    When someone says "system", I think 360, PS3, Wii or PC. Call me ignorant.

    Wait...what? I didn't even realize the first time I browsed your rig that it's Quad SLI. Go to .

    ...What res do you typically run games on?

    ...What res do you typically run games on?
    Crysis
    1920 x 1200, 8x AA, 8x AF
    60+ fps

    All games I run at my monitor's native 1920 x 1200 resolution (16:10, I believe?).

    When I really crank the AA and AF up (to 16x), there is still a noticeable drop in framerate. Oddly, older games push my rig harder than newer games.

    Examples: GTA4 and Bully kill my rig, most likely because neither game is optimized to run on a PC, so I can only get those to 1920 x 1200 with everything else turned off, then Im good.

    But new, PC-specific games kick ass.
