Still more than a year to the estimated release so , if you're buying a card now it wouldn't be for SoW.
I'm not saying Oleg wouldn't support the cards, I'm saying the cards might not support Oleg.

If Oleg sticks with OpenGL as the preferred renderer, and open GL is abandoned by Ati, then there won't be much Oleg can do about that, sure we can hopefully run under DirectX but if that's not what the simulator is designed for then presumably it won't be quite as good. I can see that with all the versions of DirectX about (7, 8, 9.0a, 9.0b, 9.0c, 10, 10.1, 11) that must be a royal pain to deal with, but it does seem to be the case that OpenGL is being dropped.

I still think a release this year might happen.
