So... not hope for DX11 in next 2 years? :/

Players have legitimately complained about cloud issue for more than a year.

I'm sorry, but if it takes single programmer "about 1 afternoon to delete all clouds" or "6 months to fix them" then why we spoken with the wall for 1.5 years desperately trying to get at least any working fix?

It's a one off card just for Mac and incredibly weak, though it's slightly better than the 7300Gt they used to use for the Mac Pro.

Macs do not support most graphics cards. Your next best bet is a 5770, look for the Mac branded ones.

Great! Please post that link to that $49 computer.

EDIT: Forget it. Here is the link. eBay cheap computers.

That's bad advice. In my experience apple computers are priced quite nicely if you buy soon after a refresh and actually want/need most of their features.

If you don't need most of the "premium" features (and would not consider buying something equivalent from the business or premium consumer line of a competitor, opting for regular consumer models instead) Apple computers are probably overpriced compared to your needs. If you buy towards the end of a refresh cycle they probably are objectively overpriced and you should buy something else or hold out some longer.

I wouldn't disagree with you if you told me that 90% of Apple customers have no need for a decent sound system in a laptop, for a Thunderbolt connector (or Firewire), for a "retina" display, ... and are therefore overpaying.

But imo you can't really say that they you will get ripped off "every time". For some customers at some points in time Apple products tend to be priced very competitively.

Will it still work with a 16k Ram expansion on my ZX81?

I guess its still nice to think that even with this new baseline clouds will still be an issue, everything will still too dark to see and no one will actually look at any of the graphics anyways since fleet maneuvers need you zoomed out.

+1 for eve wireframe/bracket icons.

EVE runs totally flawless with two clients on my hardware that was bought about two years ago and even at the time was not state-of-the-art; I always buy slightly outdated hardware because it's so much cheaper.

That means, two times EVE runs perfectly on very old hardware; as a PC gamer, you have to update your hardware at least every two years. Don't like it? Buy a console.

This thread has produced nowhere near its expected quotum of forum tears.

I require more.

Just a small note. Many people play eve from abroad either as students, military personal, people who travel long distances for their work and use laptops.

If you exclude support for low end tech you discourage lot of people to play. In fact some corps could be paralyzed completly. EVE is very specifi game that attracts very small ammount of people so doing changes that can endanger those numbers is not good.

As example i give black prophecy that was ft2p. After removing support they lost more then half of the player base and game died several months after. As game developer never ever prevent people to play your game by your own actions. Its very slippery path.
