Odd. Reviewers stated that Doom 3 ran better on the ATI graphics cards.
And Nvidia's own DX9 Dawn product demo ran faster on the ATI graphics cards. I'll have to look that up again. This would mean that VALVE is risking sales of their new game, Half Life 2, which they've spent 5 years developing.. in order to lie and bad talk Nvidia, the dominant graphics chip maker in the PC gaming market. ATI must be paying them a LOT of money to say these things and fudge those results,eh? -Gel -----Original Message----- From: jon hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exactly how did Nvidia get Microsoft to WHQL certify their drivers then? I've never heard of any of the dx9 features not being implemented in the FX. The entire issue, is, and has been the precision differences between the cards, which is not a part of the dx9 specification. When Gabe says that it takes him 5x as long to implement the proprietary Nvidia path...he is full of it. Other developers have already said that it hasn't taken much extra time to develop for the Nvidia path. Maybe Gabe is just a crappy developer...but more likely, iD is still pissed at ATI for leaking the D3 demo, and ATI is feeling the "consequences" iD mentioned for that. So ATI is throwing their weight behind HL2... Of course...none of this matters for D3, which is an OpenGL game, which has already been shown to perform much better on the FX. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
