    I am using a Saphire Radeon HD 6950 2gb (memory) video card and the WGT game does not use much power from this video card; As great as the WGT computer golf game is, it could be even better if it used the power of todays video cards.  High-resolution (2560x1600) photos (with less compression added), high resolution avatars that have real life motion (before and after hitting the ball)... Perhaps let people select from a list of personalities (musician, slob, pro golfer, comedian, etc. each using sounds, motions to reflect the chosen personality), perhaps instead of photos use real video footage so people can see and hear how it really sounds... being able to see and hear the wind as it actually is at that course, etc.  To do all this perhaps a person would have to download your software (which would download all the high resolution photos, video footage, etc.) which would be just fine by me.

    While we are all happy for you with your uber card - why on Earth would WGT wish to alienate all of it's customers that don't have that powerful a graphics card to play with?  This has been typical of game developers for years - they will cater to a minimum requirement so that more potential customers are able to pay them for their work.

    Spammage, its not about alianating others, its just a matter of options, i for one would like the option to load higher res pictures.

    I understand that Kriztjan - and I have a powerful video card also.  However, with the game being flash based I don't think they have an option to offer "different" versions.  My post was meant to sound sarcastic to game devs - not to the original poster.
