Superb game.
Made me upgrade my graphics card to the 9800pro and I'm glad I did.

It runs smooth on my p4 2.4 with geforce 4600ti on max everything.

Rubbish. It was silky smooth on my 6800gt Golden sample, 1gb and athlon 64 3500.
Well, with the patch anyhoo :D
Just a little note - the speed of your processor is fine, but you could really do with an extra 512 of RAM. It'll effectively double the speed of your PC and will do wonders to your performance of Far Cry. The graphics will never look their best unless you have one of the latest cards which very few of us, me included, do. But even with your card, and 1 Gig of RAM, it'll at least run smoothly on Medium - and that's not too shabby. Also - make sure you've updated your drivers fron www.nvidia.com!
