Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Yeah... I'd say wait 'til Mark says Two Weeks. Then you'll know you're not in for any surprises.
yeah, i bet the 7800 will do UT2007, like the ti4600 did UT2003/4.

I u wanna run ut2k7 on highes details u need
These u need
Processor: Dualcore Processor Like AMD Ahtlon 64 X2 Or Pentium D
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 6800 Or Higher, ATI Readon X700 Or Higher
PhsyX Card: AGEIA PhsyX PPU Card
Memory: 512MB DDR Minimum but i think in my option u need 1GB
its all your choice i already made the machine for a part my PPU is still missing

The only upgrades that I'll be adding to my computer when UT2007 comes out will be to buy the latest Geforce card that will be out at that time and SLi it with my Geforce 6800 (you can SLi any 2 Geforce cards as long as they have Geforce 6+ GPUs) and an extra Gigabite of RAM which will amount to a total of 2GB Dual DDR 400MHz RAM. I don't think an AGEIA physics card is necessary and I think my 3.2GHz HT Pentium 4 will hold up ok. (my current computer is almost the best out there currently and I've seen the EPIC guys playing the game on their computers [which probably have SLi Geforce 7800GTXs which are not really faster than the Geforce 6800, the difference between a 6800 and 7800 is mainly the 7800's support for REALLY COOL new effects] on full graphics with a framerate of 30 [I think], so with my slight upgrade I think it will run at maybe 35-40 frames/second at best which is more than playable)

My PC is currently 10 months old, so hopefully I won`t have to buy a new one, just upgrade the memory up to 2 gigs and a new g-card
I just wait for the demo and then decide it, if necessary I surely will buy a new PC (my retailer let`s me "build it up" the way I want it
)

->Sachiel<- - your rig is far from 'almost the best out there' - and the AMD64 chips kick the ass off the P4s for gaming.
And as for your statement about the 7800 not being any faster than the 6800, you're talking out your arse backwards. It's been redesigned with shorter pipelines, so it's faster to start with, using less power per cycle and more overclockable. The actual graphical support of the 7800 is no different if not minor from the 6800.
And i'm sure when you SLI the two cards together you won't see the benefit you get, as the 7800 will likely be running at 6800 speeds from what i've read about asymmetric SLI - runs at the lower speeds.
Maybe you should start reading up, ->Sachiel<-.

Quoting from an earlier post of mine:
CPU: HAL 9000
GPU: Enterprise Holodeck
RAM: multi quantum/physical state 15m^3 particle chamber (idea by FireCrack)
Network: Skynet (from terminator 3)

No, for one thing, I said my P4 will hold up ok not good, not great. I compared the actual statistics and not what they said about the Geforce 7800. Look at the specs (in numbers) of the Geforce 7800 and the specs (also in numbers) for the 6800, its not a big difference, not at all. If anything the SLi should at least run at the 7800 rendering speed for it would be the master and the 6800 would be the slave (it works the same as hard-drives in that sense). I think SLi works so that the rendering process is split amongst the videocards, but if a scene is using technology only supported by the 7800 only the 7800 will render that particular scene. SLi would never work at the speed of the weaker card. Maybe you should read up edhe
and since the 6800 won't be rendering that particular scene/feature you've effectively reduced speed compared to a situation that has to 7800 or equivalents.
You'll still be faster compared to a 6800, but you won't be near the speed of a single 7800 ...
Never mind that Ati's Crossfire is far more efficient compared to SLI which is so fussy over hardware & drivers used that I really wonder why you'd want to bother ...
//
I think the best thing to do right now is start saving money for a completely new high-end pc (+/- € 2000 - 3000 should be enough).
There's no way you can even imagine/afford a system that will run UT2k7 at 'respectable' speeds. I expect the same effect we had at the time UT2k3 was released : 'old' systems could run it, but without a lot of eye-candy ...
Considering that we won't know the full effect of the PPU & new physics (Karma was supposed to be great as well) I wouldn't want to bet on the PPU. Plus there's rumours that the PPU might be integrated into the next-gen graphicscards, which would make upgrading easier and even more effective.
Ati will have an answer to the 7800 by the end of this year and a half year later we'll see nVidia's answer to that ...

Which should be a lot closer to UT2k7's release.
I'm waiting a year (almost), for sure, then building a new computer.

In one year you should see:
Quad Core CPU architecture running on ddr2 speeds from AMD and ddr3 speeds from Intel.
3 maybe 4 16x PCI-e slots in a motherboard, possibly multi-gpu ?
Possibly multi-threading RAM.
3dmark05 scores of 25,000 - 30,000.

multi-threading RAM? ouch!
What does this scheduling tech for OS have to do with memory architecture?
