  1. There were quite afew good suggestions in this earlier Best Tank Fiction thread http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?t=995
  2. What happens if you have multiple skins for the same tank and want to switch them over occasionally. Is there an easy way to do this or do you just have to resort to lots of copying and pasting ? I looked at the skinner 2 utility but do not understand fully how to set it up even after reading the readme.
  3. It is already out - they call it the 7800 GS 256mb. Generally around £200, but I have seen the PNY version selling for £170. You can also get some ready overclocked versions from XFX or BFG. This is the fastest and last AGP card that will be manufactured so grab one while you can if you don't want to upgrade to PCI-X. I'm getting one ASAP.
  4. Just jacked my nvidia 6600GT 128mb up to 4x AA and the sim is still smooth as butter even in busy scenarios with lots of foliage, amazing for my 1 yr + old system and quite a relief that I don't need to spend more money on vid card upgrades as my options are pretty limited now with an AGP 8X socket (AGP 7800 GS OC is my last upgrade option before a new pci-e mobo is required).
  5. Very smooth gameplay so far with an AMD 64 3200+, 2 gig RAM, nvidia 6600GT 128 mb on 77.77 drivers, 1280x1024 resolution, Audigy 2 ZS, Saitek X52 Hotas. 2xAA and 2xAF and no stutter. Might up the AA to 4x to see if it still plays well. I thought I was going to have trouble playing SB with this system and expected everything to look pretty ugly with the settings turned down, but I have been pleasantly surprised at just how well this runs on a mid range system. Congrats to the devs on some excellent optimized coding :thumbup:
