Oleg. Ilya, do you guys do something with the comments on the updates?

Actually, I think you'll find that the likes of both Nvidia and ATI PR will be falling over themselves to ensure that their cards run this well, just as they do with every major release.

Do you really think Oleg doesn't have top ends cards from both teams?

Having seen some pictures of Oleg's office I would be amazed if he could run 'Monkey Island' on most of his PC's let alone SOW .

from previous statements oleg indicated they are primarily focusing on nvidia and not ati during development. iirc they are in contact with nvidia directly, and might even have received cards from them for BoB development purposes. obviously they do keep "ati bug checking" to and its not as if they can ignore 50% of the market, but it is 2e priority and largely the game is developed with more optimization for nvidia (i think that manufacturer was more cooperative)

if the game is to be released in the next couple of months, i suspect oleg is also more concerned to get decent fpsec's and optimised performance on dx9 systems right now, rather then primarily focus on the newest dx11 cards that have some selected features which might become more important later on.

that's the way i read the current situation
