    Downloaded this last night but not had chance to play it yet... Plus my wired 360 controller died, proper pain in the arse that.

    What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...

    Just had a quick go. The way Direct X renders makes It looks better then the console game. Then AA on top made it loook really good. made me realise i do need a new graphics card

    What resolution did you run it at?

    Hopefully my 9800GTX can cope...

    I've just benchmarked on 1280*1024, with everything super high, and the msaa on at max (16xCQ), and it does not go below 60.

    Your 9800gtx should be fine, even at 1600*1200 at max, and most likely on 1900*1200 (if you lower a couple of settings, such as msaa)

    Even at 1920x1200?

    Awesome, glad to see that they still make games that do not need next years hardware

    I'll try it out when I set my PC up tomorrow.

    Re: Devil may cry demo out PC

    I found this website, where quite a few have put up benchmarks scores of their pc.

    DMC4 PC Demo now available. - NeoGAF

    Someone on their tested it at 1920x1200 with everything on super high and msaa at 16xCQ, and got 40fps minimum with an 8800gts 512mb, which is not a bad score.

    I couldn't get DX10 to run on Vista 32, 8800GTS 512 - rendered a rainbow of colours! Ran great DX9, looked good - played well too *but* I hate games with time limits.

    Really needs to be played with a pad... Keyboard aint suited at all.

    Excellent - never got round to playing the series as I have never been a PS owner. And the DMC3 port, well the less said about that the better. Downloading now... Will post back thoughts on the demo later, if i get a chance to play it, along with how the benchmark tool fares.

    Woo Hoo!!! Cant wait!!!

    Xbox gets 60fps
