More decadent graphics!!!

A cause I can believe in.

Be sure!!!!

What were those guys thinking? It's a wonder Oleg didn't send someone to the shop to grab them some more RAM.

Well, between this and X-Plane 10 which I will also buy, I figured it was time to plop down some cash for the CH throttle quadrant. Gotta be able quickly change the throttle and prop pitch!

SoW better be good .

I'm actually surprised it's running as good as it is.

Compare the detail in the maps to what we've got in IL2. What we've seen just blows IL2 away.

There's a benchmarking tread http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=17195 looking at a track called "FinalDaysBenchmark". Although generally playable, at the start when it's over a populated section of the map it brings most modern pc's to their knees! Compared to what was in those SOW video's IL2 is a barren wasteland!


Well done Oleg and Good Luck with the remainer of the expo!

Well looks like I'll be buying a second set of RAM whenever this comes out and take this thing up to 8GB

It does look incredible although I suppose that those levels of detail will be somewhat unattainable for a while. I imagine it will still look pretty freaking amazing even with some lower details. And keeping in mind that they probably still have quit a bit of gunk in the works and that it will only get better from here.

i7, 2GB and 460 is "such an inferior system"? A quad core and a good VGA? I don't think so, it's not even the "mainstream" system!

I'm glad 1C made a sim that runs beautifull in this kind of hardware, a VERY GOOD system, by the way! Just add more ram to be used by the massive map, etc.

Great software uses the resources, bad ones blame the same resources as "inferior". And I respect a company who makes compromises with look, performance and middle end systems: they are the best in the business!

Look at RoF visuals and performance and compare with this "beta" of SoW: another world!

Well, I agree with the point that an i5 with 2 gig and a nv460 is hardly a crappy rig.

On the other hand, I find that RoF visuals are not all that much lower, and the performance (i.e. fps) is much better... and that's on my E8400 + 2 gigs + 2X4850 with almost all the RoF eye candy on max.

Now these vids are a nice way to start the day.

So I guess my new system should handle BoB nicely:

i7 960
nvidia GTX 480
6GB RAM

Maybe since this event isn't over till the 6th there may be more cam vids floating around the internet.
