Linus here gives a brief description of why dx11 so good. I didn't know this about running better.

Either it runs better, or you can have more polygondetail and it runs the same. I think that should be the advantage of DirectX 11 so you can't say BoB will definately look better with it.

Personally, i'm not interested in 3 Monitors.

The yellow covering of the Bf-109 engine at the update photos, have to be dirty just like the fuselage of the Spitfire at the photo bellow.
There have to be a traces of lot of oily fingers and palms on it!

Yellow paints are notoriously thin on pigment. Always have been, no matter how much lead they chuck in it. The various colours of paint underneath tend to show through also.

Then i got even worse news for you;


ati is comming with the 6000 series near christmas this years, faster then the 5870 or the 5970...
So, this christmas you could buy a faster card for the same money as you wanted to buy in the same period.

So, you still get to beat the 5870...Or at least simular performance for way less.

I'd probably even wait a card or two into the 6000 line before buying. The first card usually has a bit of a price-gouge effect going on, and later ones (sometimes even a month later) can usually be had for much less and unlocked to run the same speed or even faster than the "flagship card".

That's right! More details - better immersion!

I would like to extend my gratitude to the men and woman who under the most difficult odds over came adversary and put a halt to the planned invasion of Britain.

But hay still no SOW!!!! Looks like we are going to wait till the next anervisory 71st before we see anything.

I read that Oleg was planning a release date of around the BOB anniversary but still nothing... Starting to get a little board Oleg…come out of the dark woods and give the community a date or let them know whets is happening.

Screen shots are all fine and dandy. But Action speaks louder than words.
And keeping us all in the dark is not doing you public relations any favors.

You do know in your mind of a date and you will have a time line of when, let the people know Oleg you owe it to all the people who are waiting for some proper news.

Thanks

The 15th is Battle of Britain day, and the "Battle" itself went on until the end of October 1940 so there might not be an announcement for another six weeks or so. Plus of course the Axis didn't recognise it as a "Battle" as such and as they were the other team taking part I suppose their opinion is just as valid.

Anyways, my point is that it's done when it's done. Personally I hope it takes a little longer so I can save up more for my next rig.
