Awsome patch guys. Keep up the great work!
I think everyone has appreciated the solid last few patches, and I feel this is going to be another good one.

The Trinity 2 engine coming with Rev III uses shader model 3.0. However it also offers the option to turn all shaders off, allowing it to run on more or less the same hardware that is able to run EVE now.
Do not - I repeat - do not buy a Geforce 8 or Radeon 2xxx series card! You will throw money out of the window!
First generation DX10 cards so far have been shown to lose anywhere between 40% and 75% (yes, 75%) fps when switching from DX9 to DX10 modes in the very same games, and this is consistent across just about all existing DX10 supporting games. If you want a graphics card for DX10 graphics, the ones that the industry sells you right now are a total scam and not worth half the money they cost. They are only as fast as advertised in DX9 mode.
Furthermore - or maybe because of that - Microsoft has just thrown DX10 out the window and finalized their DX10.1 standard. Which is incompatible to current DX10 cards. Furthermore, the new DX10.1 cards (slated to be released around the end of the year) are incompatible to current mainboards. So if I was you, I wouldn't be buying any new top-end hardware for the next year - rather get something cheap and easily replaceable. EVE isn't going DX10 for a while yet anyway, so you miss nothing.
By the way, the hardware industry loves Microsoft. 
Where did you get these Infos from....do you have sources about the "facts" you mentioning here ?
Ummm, go read some computer hardware sites? This is all common knowledge now

Oveur, what¦s about factional warfare?
I believe during the alliance tournament it was announced / discussed that Factional warefare would NOT be making it into Rev 3.
Good riddance. You really want more bugs?!!
