hey, if anyone has a 6800 ultra yet, plz tell me how your performance goes. for every other game, except Neocron, my fps and picture quality has gone pretty well; however, Neocron performance has degraded.
here's the response i got from neocron's tech support:
Hi Trevor Kershaw,
You might want to drop some of the detail settings ingame to help improve this framerate. Neocron is a rather old engine so it doesn't take advatage of newer cards abilities. This is why older cards might do better than newer ones. Neocron 2 will be on the DirectX 9 API which will get framerates back to respectable ones on the newer cards.
Sorry for the framerate problems, but there is not much I can do about it at this time.

I'm curious to see if anyone else has run into this. I almost feel like installing an earlier version of dx just to see what happens with neocron. D:
