Ok, you demand a maxed out out video, and you can resist asking which card it was?
That would be pointless, all you get is eyecandy but you don't know how to reproduce it.




Edit: Plus you're missing one point:

I'm using a mid-range PC for a very specific reason.

You have to understand that my job is to make a good game. It is NOT to market and advertise it. We're a tiny developer working on a shoestring budget. If I have to stop working for a day each week to make videos, we will end up with a kick-ass marketing campaign for a crappy game. I'd rather have it the other way around.

Basically that means they made a game for mid to lower highend PCs.
In case you own a killer machine you'll be rewarded with some additional eyecandy and a better fps.
I don't think you can expect a whole different game or graphics just because you throw in a $600 card.

In the future minspecs will raise dramatically, but we have already seen this happen with il2.

At least, that's they way I understood luthier.
