I thought that was the requirments minimum, a geforce 3, because if I remember correctly, even the GUI was to have shaders.

its also an Alpha release, and acording to my warez friends, lacking the new File system.

Actually I think its a Geforce 4.

It does have the new file system, it's just disabled by default. If you go through some steps you can enable it, but it only applies to My Documents.

Ah, and if I remember some interview right, only from the top 9xxx series can you run details on high.

Well, at least it applies somewhere, I'll tell my friends about it.
