Before I got a new video card, FarCry ran REALLY bad on my computer on somewhere around medium detail, when Half-Life 2 ran smooth on the highest detail settings and 1024x768 resolution.

That's because HL2 puts some of the graphics load on the processor, so that the vid card doesn't have to do it all. It's something like that anyway.

I have a pretty out-dated processor now, and Half-Life 2 still runs flawlessly with my new video card. It's called having a really good game engine. There are too many bad engines out there that just convinces a lot of people that they can't get any better.
