Hooloovoo Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Re: PKR Road to Vegas MTT League - 7x $4k WSOP Packages I tried out the client yesterday. The reason i tried it out was because i am thinking about giving this qualification league a shot, so i wanted to see if A) it was possible to run on my hardware, and B) the 3D animation and such could be overlooked after one gets used to them, so they are not an annoyance when playing. It IS very resource intensive, most likely the most hardware demanding of all poker clients, but it was running ok on my machine. CPU hovered around 50% while playing at one table. Didn't try multiple tables but i can guess it will kill most computers. Gotta say i was very impressed with the overall look & feel, very nice graphics and sound/music(!) which added to the experience. Somehow i got that feeling that this must be a little taste of what the future of online poker brings. I hanged around the play money tables for awhile, and "got the hang of it" in about half an hour. It is possible i will give this a shot. 22 tournaments in total, and the first one (tuesday) featured 441 entrants. Most likely not all of these will play every event, so if you miss a couple of them then you probably are in no worse shape than anyone else. If i decide to give it a go i will create a seperate thread for it under Poker Challenges. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooloovoo Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Re: PKR Road to Vegas MTT League - 7x $4k WSOP Packages That's correct. Even the "emotes" can be turned off, as can different resource intensive graphics features :ok I will probably give this a go, separate thread to be setup later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
