Ya...
Even worse in this case, because that's a crappy GDDR2 version with 1GB... slower than my 512MB GDDR3
what are some good graphic card for left 4 dead?

Whats funny is if i remember correctly this game is run off the source engine right? So it should be playable on a 9800XT (ATI AGP card) rofl

What's less funny is how much CPU power is required to play. Then what's even MORE funny is how much is required to play maxed.

you dont know cpu requirements till youve tried gta4. this game is very easy to run.

Well...GTA sucks. And the PC port sucks even more. So...that's alot of suck.
I mean Source games will run on teh weakest crap card as long as it has the shaders and the CPU will still be the determining factor.
IMO Source is a brilliant piece of software.

You have 2 8800GTS where 1 will (with a moderate CPU) will break left4dead. Every source game has been really great with its demand for hardware.
Obviously teamfortress2 is the most intensive, left4dead does require a good amount of CPU power, but a nice core2duo will do fine.
My friend has an AMDx2 6400 i think and a 8600GTS, he can almost run it maxed.

The port dosent suck, its just "unlocked" for PCs and better hardware.

Unlocked? I don't know what that means.
But, GTAIV is so CPU intensive it'll run fine on a Vcard of these specs
500 MHz
10 MB embedded DRAM
48-way parallel floating-point dynamically-scheduled shader pipelines
AS LONG AS IT HAS A POWER-PC BASED CPU OF
3 symmetrical cores running at 3.2 GHz each
2 hardware threads per core; 6 hardware threads total
1 VMX-128 vector unit per core; 3 total
128 VMX-128 registers per hardware thread
Its a bad port.
Now I know the 360 is all dedicated and what not, but I'm just saying that the PC port is not spread out correctly.
I mean you have Crysis. "OH! I need a new Vcard cuz its the roXor and its sooo GRFX intensive"
Now you have GTAIV. "OH!...I guess i n33d a new cpu to play this game cuz my SLI 9800GTX can't compensate."
