Actually, I'm not sure that this will be the case in SOW.

There are a few variants of SpeedTree as far as I can see - I think that video showcases the just-released version 5.1

If Oleg and Co have been working with the SpeedTree software for some time it'll likely be an older version and I have no idea how the physics modelling will compare to that video or whether PhysX will be supported.

I expect it'll still be impressive though.

Edit: SpeedTree 5 does support Physx, so maybe...? I'd wait to hear it from Oleg though before making plans.

It´s Ok.
I´m waiting for release to do the best new system I can with lesser expense.
I´m considering the ATI 5970 but if SOW series will be Nvidia optimized, the GTX 480 probably is the way to go.

S!

Well I hope no more nVidia bandwagon as ATI and nVidia can BOTH do DirectX 11 just fine at the moment. PhysX is bound only to nVidia which I dislike strongly, because it hampers players that do not have this brand nor want to get one.

This looks very nice, showing just what is possible with Speedtree (maybe; I'm unsure). NOT that we can expect anything like this!:

He he he.
I just do a nice crash beside it.
They say any landing you can walk away from is a good one... right?
