With all the recent talk about optimisations and filtering techniques, what do all our ATI users feel about this? do you feel ATI have cheated the end user or do you feel what they are doing with filtering techniques is acceptable?
Most of you have read ATIs public statement and read the chat log from the ATI CHAT a few nights ago...... but it seems like some sites such as
techreport still feel the issue is not resolved and ati have been perhaps less than honest
Whatever the merits of ATI's adaptive trilinear filtering algorithm, ATI appears to have intentionally deceived members of the press, and by extension, the public, by claiming to use "full" trilinear filtering "all of the time" and recommending the use of colored mip map tools in order to verify this claim. Encouraging reviewers to make comparisons to NVIDIA products with NVIDIA's similar trilinear optimizations turned off compounded the offense. Any points ATI has scored on NVIDIA over the past couple of years as NVIDIA has been caught in driver "optimizations" and the like are, in my book, wiped out.
So whats your view guys?
