Friday 2010-12-03 Dev. update and Discussion

Oleg,

I just read that soon coming Ati 6970 will have 2 GB VRAM.
The Nvidia GTX 580 has 1,5 GB but is a little bit faster.
What will be better for BoB? More VRAM or higher GPU Clock?

Hecke, a good question.

I know this isn't the place for it (there are at least two other threads running on GPUs and System specs) but you might like to see this....

6950 competes with GTX 570/480 and is priced similar.

"I can't speak for our competitors but we won't be running out and we shall be aiming to be the most competively price on the 6900 cards. "

Looks like AMD may well keep to their revised release date of 25th December.

Of course we won't know the truth until next Wednesday, 15th. From the leaked and general hype I'm expecting the general performance order of play to be :-
6990 dual
580GTX dual
5990 dual
6970 single
480GTX / 6950 (not sure which) singles
5870 single

i would just ask again that it would be great to see some system specs released - please.

also some shots of project galba!

Im sure we will see some system specs as soon as Oleg knows what they are, there is no logical reason to hold them back. Oleg has promised a dedicated website and im certain once this arrives we will start to get more detailed information, some people here think we will see a spring release, I think that all indications at this moment in time suggest a little later than that.

Peace be with you all this christmas.

Same to you this Christmas Tree

As someone who was hopeful for a pre-Christmas release, then confident for a Spring release i'm getting a little pissed off at you being proved right all the time

So, then, May or June it is.

Happy Christmas to all.

Your really getting annoying, always delaying the release of SOW. First you say 2009, then 2010, then 2011, what next 2012? Between you and Oleg its all getting rather depressing.

Best of the holidays.

Thank you for these links. What would you go for? I never had ATI but this time I would maybe go for them because I think that more VRAM could make a bigger difference due to the fact that the textures in BoB have high resolution.
