I know. That’s what my comment was based on. It would be really nice if the versions of the game we paid for would look and perform like what we see in the promo videos or trade show footage like this nVidia video.
The nVidia 3000 series mobile GPUs are a HUGE downgrade from their desktop counterparts, unlike the mobile 1000 and 2000 series which are in the same ballpark. Yet in this video they’re showing a laptop running a triple screen setup at a level of graphical fidelity we can’t even come close to achieving with the game on Ultra at a level of performance that’s unattainable even with the best desktop hardware money can currently buy.
As much as I love this sim, whenever I see said footage, I’m always left with the rather unpleasant taste of “bait and switch” in my mouth.
