Is Fear playable on a 7300 GT MP via bootcamp?

I was thinking about picking up this game but I have doubts about my low end video card. Anyone would like to share any of their experiences ?

Pretty sure it is...don't quote me on it though. Had a friend having fun on it on his MBP so.....but may have to bomb the settings!

Thanks for the responses - I thought my topic had died a long time ago!

I don't know what the big deal is with FEAR. It looks like a turd and is heavy on system demands. My MBP with Radeon X1600 runs Medal of Honor Airborne, Bioshock and Colin McRae DIRT better than FEAR would run and they look amazing in comparison. They look like FMV at times.

PaperNotes, I dont know why you're comparing a game that came out 2 years ago with Bioshock. Graphics for FEAR were fantastic two years ago.

I was dissing the game for being badly unoptimised.

Why was it very heavy? I never played it on anything but my box at the time which was a dual 3Ghz Xeon box (the old Nocona series xeons). It was a PC box. My vid was an X800XT card which I guess at the time was fairly high end. I guess I have no real reference point. Was it a lot heavier than something like Farcry?

Heavier than Far Cry and not nearly as good looking. Some goes for Halo. I never understood why it is used for benchmarks when it looks terrible and makes unoptimised use of GPUs. UT2004 looks five times better running on the same hardware.

Halo 3 will become the benchmark when it comes out. I do like Far Cry very cool game.

Even Halo 3 doesn't impress me. Take a look at
Medal of Honor Airborne
Call of Duty 4
Unreal Tournament 3
These three are really well coded and amazing. I'm playing MOHA now and it is like watching a pre-rendered video sometimes especially when sprinting. The new sprint move is jaw dropping to watch and execute.

Let me guess, HALO 3 will be VISTA only? Grrr... and after all the fun I went through installing XP on my Powerbook.
If Bioshock can run on the newest Macs, I don't see why HALO shouldn't.
