I hope they'll use the TOH flight model in A3.

I forgot how to embed YouTube

I wonder what kind of hardware they are running this on.

These are the specs for the system NVIDIA kindly provided us with. Madcatz provided us with the peripherals, including the mouse (R.A.T. 3), which was cool, too.

Disclaimer: I have no affliliation with any of the hardware providers mentioned below, I'm not any particular authority on such topics, am I not being paid thousands of dollars to promote them (although.. if they're reading... ), nor would I guarantee the game will run the same way at launch as it did on the videos. Because, of course, it'll run even better, right?!

Anecdotally, we were nicely impressed with how the game felt running; although, there was no time to do any proper analyasis of performance, and inside the presentation display cabinets it would get quite hot, which led to some instability.

Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 970 @ 3.20GHz (12 CPUs), ~3.2GHz
Memory: 12288MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
Monitor Model: V3D245
Disk Model: C300-CTF DDAC256MAG SCSI Disk Device

In terms of our setup, we forgot to copy our config before the PCs were canabalized, so we're sorry about that. Generally I'd say:

Viewdistance: around 3km; varied a little between pcs
objDraw: around 2.5-2.7 km; varied a little between pcs
shadow draw: around 300m; varied.
quality settings: everything at least on high; textures very high, i think terrain quality, too.

Need to head to the airport now; hopefully that gives you guys an idea where we're at/ material to start flamewars about hardware vendors

Best,

The current (ToH) Hind is nowhere near the quality that they are advertising for Arma 3. It will need a big facelift and at least some FM tweaking.
