SOW System specs

Seriously though, looking at the screenshots he is posting any current "good" graphic card should do.
He has already said it will use directX 9/10/11. It will not use OpenGL.

Crysis was directX, still it favored nvidia cards - a lot.

Unless you show my a Xfire and SLI compatible motherboard, I'll stay annoyed.

Well the game is 3 months away from release so I imagine system specs to be within the next week or so.

Ah yes, two things you can rely on in this forum. Oleg's strange sense of time, and Tree's 'imagination'.

The specs will be released when they are. And so will the game.

Actually, Tree just says the things that remain un-said. He is right in a way, we should see system specs by now

Thank you Philip, some recognition at last for all my efforts

It would be nice to have system specs, but there are several reasons that come to mind as to why Oleg & co haven't released them yet:

(a) The game isn't as finished as Oleg hoped it would be, so it is too soon to even guess.
(b) The game is still undergoing beta-testing, which will determine the minimum practical specs.
(c) Oleg knows what the specs are, but can't release them for contractual reasons.
(d) Oleg knows what the specs are, but wants to hold them back until more details about the sim can be released, for maximum impact.
(e) Oleg knows what the specs are, but doesn't want any potential competition to know them yet.

I'm sure there are other possibilities...

I'm sure at this point in development the developer has a pretty good idea and its probably high, especially as feature rich as this game engine is. I would imagine any developer would want to widdle that figure down as much as possible with game engine optimizations, before giving that information out. The lower he can optimize the more possible game sales.

Giving out a high system specs announcement at this time would be counter productive. He can't ring out every frame rate until the sims is basicly done with all features working together.

Hardly.
For anyone to state what we "should" or "should not" be seeing from the developer is the same level of trollism as represented in the original post of this thread.
Oleg is the only one who is the authority to say what "should" be going on.
The majority of us are patient and happy , knowing full well what great things 1C has delivered to us in the past and we feel no reason to moan on incessantly like spoiled children about what we havent recieved.
I see the seemingly popular "inate sense of entitlement" knows no boundaries....

I said 'should' because Oleg said previously that we'd see system specs in May. I don't care that we didn't, but we should have seen them if we are to always believe Oleg. I have always had faith in Oleg; it's hard for the team to keep-up with releasing such a great product when the technologies are always changing, and from what we've seen we're doing a pretty good-job.

But for some, the false-promises can get annoying.
