I'm sure you know better than to be holding your breath

Jump

Especially since Vista does not natively support OpenGL. So I doubt they would code for two platforms.

It was clear in the JPR radio interview with Draker that while he would love to support other platforms, it just was not in the cards.

Startac

For my a support for 2 Monitors at 1680x1050 would be nice.

System:
CoreDuo 6300 3,2GHz
4GB DDr2 Ram Dual Channel
2x Radeon 2900xt Crossfire
20146 3dmarks06
2x 22" TFT 1680x1050

Aphelion

Two questions:

1) Why only Pixel Shader 2.0 and not 3.0?

2) Would a pixel-doubling option be quicker to implement then adding code for 800x600? I think I'm not really understanding why 800x600 would require extra effort unless you specifically have to make low-res versions of textures, graphics, etc.

The screen resolutions of visitors to Joystick Required so far this month.

Ikeprof

Fair enough...

Though my gaming rig = 1600X1200 and my laptop "browse the forums while I am doing something boring in game" resolution = 1024X768.

Not even really intending to comment on the overall results..they do speak for themselves, just sorta a side note.

Ambrosius

Why doesn't my 640x480 show up?

Hah, I'm the 8th least common and I used to be the 9th one year ago. 2d resolutions are totally different then 3d though... ironic that I set my 3d games to my desktop resolution though....

Tim

Talk about big brother...
heh

Scorch

Thats cool info, thanks Jump!

Jump

You're welcome. The one at the end of July will be better since it will reflect a full month of the influx of Jumpgate repatriation.

And no, Tim, that's not big brother, that's Google analytics. Oh wait, maybe your right.
