but all I'm asking is which company's architecture is best suited for SoW? As I said, Nvidia seems to give better performance on Crysis than ATi. On other games, ATi gives better performance. Maybe that should have been the question: which card maker's architecture is better suited for SoW? Maybe it's too early to tell. Maybe even the GTX350 won't be sufficient. All that aside, I don't even own a gaming pc right now. One day soon hopefully. But one company might have an advantage over the other, given my examples. That's all I'm trying to sort out. Sure things can change.

Here's a hint......

Olegs & crew have used Nvidia in the past, iirc its due to driver stability in the early days for OGL.

Now forget BoB SOW till it falls on your head @ Xmas 2011................

As long as your GPU meets the OGL, Pixel shader or any other standard the game adheres too I wouldn't worry too much. Driver support seems to be a bigger question when it comes to performance these days although typically Nvidia cards do OGL better than ATI but thats not a dead certain thing these days.

Oleg has said he will release system specs for SOW in May 2009...
Allowing for two weeks or so you can bank on that date.
Also remember the original IL2 ran well on a geforce 4.
Now you need a 8800 to see it in all it's 1946 glory (wide screen 1440x900 or more).
So whatever you get, sooner or later it will be out-dated
