Hey, new to the forums so dont grief me if this has already been asked! But i did try a search and found nothing.

I love NS and really want to pre-order NS2 but my question is whether NS2 is going to need Shader Version 3.0? I've looked through the faq etc but couldn't find anything that would cover it.

Would be awesome if this could be answered quickly so i can pre-order <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    I'm curious about that, too.
    I can't play games using shader model 3.0 (Deadspace), so I need to know wether NS2 is sticking to 2.0 ?!?

    Just guessing it will probably use shader model 3.0 since its a modern engine, but still support 2.0. Isn't there shader model 4.0 now?

    Ye..well thanks for the guess...this really helps <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    I don't think it's save to guess that anyway, because then other games, using 3.0, would support 2.0, if it were that simple/easy.

    Anyway..still waiting for an offical statement..
