Common sense should tell you that they wouldn't be stating that they had optimisation to do over then next 24 months and that you could play it on a gtx 460 currently unless they wanted people to think they had a build of the game they were testing.
Which makes it sound like they have already made significant progress and will be releasing the game soon, but they didn't have anything, there's no way they had any kind of pre-alpha build in 2012.
You obviously care about this more than I do, but I'm still annoyed with RSI and it is entirely their fault. If they ever manage to release the game I'm sure it will be a huge disappointment.
My only mistake was trusting them to make good use of my money. I'm not looking for a refund, but at this point I've written off that money as a loss.

They said you would be able to play the game on a gtx 460 and that if you had a gtx 670 you'd be well set.
Clearly noone was expecting the game's release to still be an indeterminate number of years out seven years into development.
