This is certainly off topic ;-)
I was playing Far Cry yesterday, on my (old) P4 1.4GHz, 256Mb RAM PC which I've just given a GeForceFX 5700LE 128MB graphics card. The card's not the best out there but it's reasonable and it was cheap.
Nevertheless when I clicked on the game's automatically-set-your-own-settings button it defaulted to the lowest for everything (same happens in Doom3 BTW), even graphics related stuff. I thought this was a bit odd as the graphics card is reasonably good, even if the processor and amount of RAM in the PC aren't.
So basically does anyone know what the auto settings stuff actually looks at? Or is my slow processor etc. overriding the graphics card's abilities?
Cheers,
Si
