I can run Shadow of Chernobyl with Complete 2009 in DX8 with everything max'd except AA and according to FRAPs I get some 200+fps. In DX9, though, I get 30fps on medium and even then it hiccups a bit.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Feb 02, 2010
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Call Of Pripyat (Зов Припяти) is the third game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise, and picks up shortly after the events of the original game. Call of Pripyat takes elements from both the original game and the prequel, Clear Sky, and is generally considered the most polished and most accessible game in the series.
Will this game run on my PC?
It does support DX8 and yes you can run it. (your stats are better than mine were when I played the first STALKER in DX8, and CoP runs better than that -- at least in dx9)
It costs 30 on Steam if you dont already own another STALKER game on Steam. But if you do it costs only 20, meaning you can get Clear Sky also for the price of just CoP if you buy it first since it's only $10.
" use system requirements lab thats what i do before i get a game. "I used them for borderlands and it said I was going to run it great. I get the game and I couldn't run it at all.

Please forgive my ignorance as I'm pretty "new" to PC games, but how would I go about changing which version of directx the game uses?

Static Lighting = DX8 = Renderer r1
Full Dynamic = DX9 = r2
Enhanced Full Dynamic = DX9c = r2.5
Enhanced Full Dynamic (DX10) = DX10 = r3 (use a console command or user.ltx tweak toggle DX10.1)
??????????? = DX11 = r4
The DX11 option won't even show up on my DX10 machine so I don't know what will show up on older cards.
My PC was pretty boss when I got it in 2007 (can play Crysis on high in DX9 with 40~fps, CoD4 on max, Fallout 3 on max), it's just Shadow of Chernobyl is poorly optimized. I'll give CoP a shot if it'll run well in DX9. I don't care for graphical quality, I just want great shaders. Shadow of Chernobyl, at night time, was never really dark. I could see perfectly without a flashlight; DX9 enables complete darkness which is what I want.
