Pick a game that is somewhat hardware intensive. Something like ARMA II should do nicely.

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).

On Ground , with FPS on Screen :D

Thanks.

Well i've got ARMA II and it runs pretty well with everything maxed.

These requirements mean I won't have to spend a lot of money (that I don't have to begin with), so I'm happy ;)

First of all thanks for the system requirements as we wanted to know just to make sure what to get or not to get.As other have asked,will we have crossfire/sli for Cliffs of Dover?It would be a waste of performance for a lot of people if it is not implemented.Luthier said they had groups of people working to optimise the game for nvidia and ati cards, so I assume multi gpu setups will be used right?

Well, I guess this pretty much mean that if you can run Rise of Flight or DCS A-10C it will run just fine...

Bought the beta of DCS A-10C yesterday and darn - it looks good now but you can almost hear the system groan... Had Black Shark before but never played it (I buy all aerial sims released these days to support "the few" companies in our niche even if I realize I will not play the game much). Anyway A-10 is a definate notch up from Black Shark! I might even play it ;) Just started that Instant Action mission and the cockpit is a friggin beauty... And the number of input commands that you can map is mind numbing...

Sorry for pushing a competitor product in this forum but I feel we must support them all if we have the money - and A-10 really feels promising while waiting for CoD!

Having said that A-10 runs OK on max with my E8400 clocked to 3.6Ghz and an aging GTX275 (and 6GB memory) - but it really started the "buy new rig alert" anyway :)

Because I have an *&^$^^ install of XP and Im not sure if I update it will be detected by MS and then lock me out of my PC :grin:

Thought I was the only one doing that! 8) Next stop is ROF once I get my new rig in place, it'll be a good test platform to confirm the stability before SOW:BOB arrives (yes, you heard right, SOW:BOB, not COD=)
