The first "proper" Kepler news Fri 17th Feb?

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Both Colonial Marines and Borderlands use modified versions of Unreal Engine 3.

So unless the games are intentionally hindered any current card above £90 should be fine.

Maybe it's intentionally "anti-nerfed" with PhysX code written by Nvidia engineers to make it go really, REALLY fast for the cameras? Just saying...

Good point. However,the UT3 engine has been out for a while, and even the latest Deus Ex at 1920X1200 and 1920X1080 is running at above 40FPS on a GTX460 1GB or HD6850 1GB:

Even an HD5770 1GB or HD6770 1GB runs the game at around 40FPS.

Both the UT3 games mentioned like the latest Deus Ex are multi-platform titles too and will probably scale well with a range of graphics cards. I imagine if Borderlands 2 needs much faster GPUs than the first game, which is based on the same engine, it might not do so well. For games like BF3 it might be more understandable though.

I really hope Aliens isn't 'optimized' for Nvidia cards.. Just regular 'normal' physx etc..

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

I just hope Borderlands 2 is not crippled. It has no real need to be,as it is a cell shaded game. If Deus Ex:Human Revolution can run on a GTX560 or HD6870 fine at 1920X1080 under DX11,and Borderlands 2 runs significantly worse something fishy is going on.

No way dude, 2K3 was where it was at for me

LoL 2k3 was rubbish on every level.

There there little fella don't be sad, we can discuss anything you'd like to bring to the table.

Rage, Serious Sam and Duke Nuke 'em are about as close to the old school shooters as it gets I'm afraid, these day it's all about arcade-semi realistic-military shooters. Doom 4 is in production though which I'm sure most of older members on here are really looking forward to.

Checked out a review of Rage last night looks awesome but seems to be let down by a weak multiplayer.

Deffo looks more like my sort of game visually / weapon-wise & yeah Doom should make for some great death match action!

just been informed i will have a sample unit before the end of the month

Is your sig supposed to be blurred and intelligible?

 

[Ghøst]

Umm just realised it was Unreal Tournament 2004 I used to play not 2k3 oops...

anyway

Awesome news from the guy getting a sample at the end of the month, the 12th of April still looking promising for an official release then!

Really? Somehow I thought HL engine, my bad sorry

Hardware addon/partner or reviewer?

Repeated thread is repeated

Really, we've been told early march for our sample? Then again our timescales may be different as we are solely reviewing GPU rendering

so what graphics card nda gets lifted today then?

We are rendering too, so it would not suprise me if the date changes

 

[555BUK]

The fact that EVGA have working samples to demonstrate should indicate that cards are not far from launch. The sooner we get 7950/70 performance for ~£300 the better.

 

[Sin_Chase]

Assuming it IS Kepler and not something entirely different? Like...mobile platform stuff?
