Yeah. Did it on my 8600-equipped machine at work. Didn't mess with advanced settings (already 4x FSAA and 4x AF). Just slid the quality slider up to Ultra and everything was hunky dory at 1280x1024.|

Behold! Ultra Mode on MEDIUM settings! (Any higher and framerate drop starts to become noticeable.) |
Granted, I probably wouldn't want to play in Port Oakes or some of the areas in Cap like this.

Interesting... What kind of framerate do you get CoH-side in non-special locations?

I'm running a 260 on a quad core 2.83 with 3.25 GB RAM. Playing 1600X900 with the basic graphics slider set to "Ultra" getting around 20-60 FPS ... it's quite playable.

I'm on a GTX260 right now with a 2.5Ghz Quad Core, and 8GB of RAM. Runs just fine on:
1920x1080
Slide the Graphics Quality slider to Ultra
Then turn on Advanced Options.
4x FSAA
4x AF
World and Character Detail to 200%.
Runs REAL nice. I could probably bump the FSAA up some. But it looks fine at 4x for me.

Re: Those running on the 260. I am as well, and I can max everything except Ambient Occlusion, which I run @ Medium/ High q/ Trilateral, and FSAA which I run @ 4xAA. I'm curious as to what driver version you are running. I've been hesitant to upgrade for fear of having to go through the trouble of doign a rollback..I'm using an old 8.15 xxxx set.
Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.
Probably the last one of these I'll do, but I already had the screenshots, and it's all practice 
Talos Island:
I found the best match I could for the font in the zone name, but it's not a perfect match. If anyone does know the exact font match, then let me know please (and Dark_Respite's looking for them, too)

What chip you using for that? I'm hoping it runs well on my Intel i5 quad core 2.6 (the Intel "i"s automatically overclock themselves.)

Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?
You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette.
You're the biggest joke on the Internet!
Your database is a disaster.
You're waxing your modem; trying to make it go faster.
Hey fella, I bet you're still living in your parents' cellar
downloading pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar.
And posting "Me too!" like some brain dead AOLer.
I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller.
You're just about as useless as jpegs to Hellen Keller!

I'm running a 260 on a four year old Pentium D (3.2) with 3GB ram and I can set everything to Ultra except for the high occlusion settings (the part with color bleed) -- I get around 20 FPS (with everything on the highest except for that color bleed... sorry I can't remember the exact term)

They need to post some screenies from their closed beta with some different cards and list what the cards are. Maybe not now but starting sometime in May would be good.

total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Ok I am currently running on a GeForce 6600, on a 3.0 GHz Pentium 4 (not dual-core or anything like that) with 3GB RAM, and I'm not in position be upgrading anything in the next year. I'm assuming I'm not going to be able to run any UM features and am ok with that.
My question is: Will my machine still be able to run I17 (and subsequently GR) with current performance on current settings without any UM gfx feature enabled?

Umm... OK, go for it, do whatever you want with the screens I've posted. Just bear in mind that the loading screen mockups I did are just that, Mockups.
Gimme a sec and I'll dig up some of the other screens I took when putting the loading screens together...
Oh, and a quote from David Nakayama in CB -
Also wanted to give major props to all of you go-getters who've beat us to the punch and actually created your own Ultramode load screens. Really impressive stuff.
More to follow, so stay tuned...
Anyway, here's some more of the screens I've taken for building Mockup Loading Screens : (and this is where I destroy the bandwidth on a free Photobucket account, but hey ho...)
