So how many people upgraded their computer in late 12 when the original release was scheduled and are now looking at another upgrade?
The true sad part is that the normal lifespan of a gaming computer has passed during this fiasco.

I've had my gaming rig for over 5 years, and the only upgrade other than hard drive space has been a graphics card update from a 460 to a 660. I should be able to handle DCSW2 (as should your specs), but just the same I tend to hold off on hardware until I know I need it.

Some update regularly very few years. Some update in anticipation of an upcoming title.
A 5 year old machine will usually run the latest in medium settings. Mine was just updated about 6 months ago so I'm set for a while. The last rig was in 12.

Well, after watching 30 minutes of the stream, I can definitely see why they won't release it, even in alpha stage

Yeah the launching mission only to return to the post mission screen was a little odd.

It's certainly beautiful as expected given the static screens we'd seen before the live stream.

I do wonder how long it's going to take given Matt explained some of the problems with Comms and the bits and pieces from the last newsletter. It's all irrelevant really, hopefully the next statement will be 'its ready when its ready' but how much of a stalling effect will this have on every other module patch, terrain and environment that is currently dependent on Edge 2? Scary to think when we're actually going to see this.

I can't even imagine what a dx12 based flight sim could look like.

I hope they'll start making the transition right after 2.0 is released.

Agreed. For all the hiccups it looked stellar. Wow.

I missed the stream.. can somebody list up what has been shown on the stream event?
Any new info on the EDGE? especially gameplay perspective since we all now its graphic gonna be outstanding level.

Apparently he plans to do a next few stream sessions, more gameplay/combat oriented. Today's one was just some flying showoff with a few missiles and flares fired against drone targets, so You didn't miss all that much. Some low flying over Vegas as well. Looked promising though, at least from visual quality vs performance point of view.

Model scaling confirmed.

There is no model scaling. The visibility improvement uses a different idea.

if the GPU memory is fast and the card requires that molex PSU, it usually is enough to run well most games and sims.

Bunyap release a official video (autorized by ED), of the Wags DCS: W 2 / NTTR nevada Sunday Twitch video stream

Awesome!

His vid is mainly.just him going over what edge will bring. And mostly just screenshot.s and like 30 seconds total of actual video. Nothing impressive. And defiantly not the entire stream.

Looked nice to me!

This Sunday's stream will be a real do of last week, with the stream being archived/saved.

Primary reason for the strictness of sharing the first one was because it was a test stream and had several issues.

That's fine, but remember...don't cross the streams.
