Thank you for your courtesy in pointing that out Dano.
I think this will be my last post here because there are too many unkind people around. Not all by any means, I've had some very positive and pleasant responses but the level of debate at times is playground style and offensive so I'll continue to read all your posts with interest but I don't have anything further to offer in the way of input.

Oh .. and I'm very pleased with my dual GTX580s Dano, I just felt irritated that the slight extra graphical quality I'd hoped to see in COD by using them won't (for the forseeable future) actually appear. There seem to be a variety of negative feature changes to this application as we near the release date even if to some people they are (justifiably) trivial. Don't promise what you can't deliver is a good motto to live by.
Bye all.

Glad you like the 580's, I hope they didnt screw this up and they will support them. Currently I am number 150 or so in the EVGA step up que, so will get mine in a few weeks. I am very dissapointed too, I didnt care so much about dx11 features but the fact there is no DX11 at all is a huge blow. This game will not have a long lifespan if they dont get DX11. In fact windows is cutting off support for XP this year (confirmed) and most likely vista (maybe).
Wtf are they thinking?

You best stick to il2 if you are so disappointed

Well, If this game is so demanding in graphics like it seems to be, DX11 may not be so great if fps goes down when it is enabled.
And fps GO down with tesselation enabled.

thats my point....

I hope this is going to put paid to the "omg i'm going to need an i7 980x with all the trimmings" posts...hopefully some Y-fronts will begin to un-twist now. oh wait what about DRM!

With all this emphasis on computer hardware we also need to realize that if
you have 3 different people with identical hardware , you will most likely have
3 different performance results when they play a game. The OS , software running in the back ground , the driver updates...etc will all have a big effect on the game. So you might feel like you have a killer machine but when you see
one of your buddies with a lesser machine getting better frame rates than you ,
with the same eye candy you'll be miffed.
The bottom line ...
System spec's though somewhat helpful, are very hard to predict.

I haven't read threw all of these posts so if this info has been up already I'm sorry for the boo boo for putting it up again but the starting point would seem to be an i5 with 4 gigs of ram with a good mid range Dx11 card as this guy had for the two videos.


Core i5-650, 4 gigs of Ram AMD Radeon 6870

I have:

i7 890 @3,5 GHz
4GB Ram
GTX460

and I'm hoping to run it on med/high 1680x1050. Will see

Its not that simple.

If you tessellate a given 3D object, then yes, performance will drop. But to achieve a certain effect, you can use tessellation with far simpler objects to achieve the same (or better) visual fidelity than you could achieve with higher poly objects, and so you can actually increase performance, sometimes quite significantly.

It would make a ton of sense to use it for water (waves), terrain and even plane models (think perfectly round engines and smooth bubble canopies with very simple meshes).
