Yes the 30fps can be disabled since it is using the generals engine and it is possible in that.
And no there wont be any visual improvements over 2.0. I thought it was quite clear to the whole world by now that sm3.0 only offers better framerates and not better visuals. So in other words, you will get alittle better performance with your sm3.0 compared to cards with sm2.0 (this is ofcourse if the developers coded it good).

hmm.... ok.. but i heard they use the limit cap for syncing the game in multiplayer matches. so i heard that this cap cannot be disabled in multiplayer because youll get sync problems than...

dunno if thats true..

Oh you meant in multiplayer. Then you problary cant.
It would really screw up the syncing because the gameplay gets alot faster with better framerates so it's not like your normal game where good framerates just makes the game smoother, in the generals engine the game speeds up like mad Smile

Em, allow me to correct you correcting people..
ps3.0 allows for better visuals for engines that use ps3.0, if an engine uses ps2.0 your ps3.0 card will give u a preformance boost only.

As for this game Malic, i doubt there will even be any kind of pixel shaders, perhaps some specular/bump mapping on the big units or terrain, but nothing spectacular, just feel good that you will be able to play it with max anti-aliasing and shit with your 6800 =)



But FOOOOK, imagine coming to attack with a horde of orcs (whats the unit cap??!?!?!??) and and wharg riders and all the special skills for the heroes and coming there with sauruman to whach gandalf into the sky omg Very Happy i gotta do that on a lan, put the 2 big-nosed mage's on eachother and see who wins Very Happy

I think that the unit cap will be higher for the evil side, at least I hope it will be seeing as the orcs are weaker in one on one combat. Which is as it should be.

The orcs also get a grouping bonus, so when you get a certain amount together they fight better. Evil also has a high tech tree ability called 'The Horde' where LOADS of orcs flood out of your base and overwhelm the enemy.

This is simple not true at all.
This will change in the future though (nothing dramatical) with next generation engines (unreal3 etc), but as it is now it's basicly the same when it comes to visuals.

That part Wink
