nVidia's PR is ruthless Exaggerated in some areas, but it contains truths.

Worldwide leader? now where did they get that info? to my knowlegde ATi is still winning... And anyways, most PCs will play this fine! A few FPS here or there... What difference?

I think they mean sales. Outstanding performance means nothing if you don't have the sales

@/2ct!<

yeah, ati really needs more agressive marketing, nvidia claims one game and its everywhere, where as ati pwns many games in the past, and only spreads performance through customer word of mouth

Ran fine on a 9500 pro and a 9600xt last time I checked in the beta.... ABOUT 30 FPS (quite playable)

The should be best running it at 16 & 24 bit @ 32bit mode ... Nv specfic path ... all thier cheats etc
they better be faster or I'm just gonna laugh so hard... expecally the Millions they will have wasted

Let me guess they will be running the game in mostly PS 1.1 and a little 3.0 just like their doing in far cry... Who wants to bet? lol

I remind in the last beta that excaped before it was NV optimzed ATI was WWWAAAAAYY faster then Nvidia but of couse NV's flipping the bills so they couldn't have that.....




Also It's a ment to be played game so expact the regular driver glitch on ATI cards.....
(are either puropsely coded in all ment to be played games, or co-incadence)

Btw the game ran "flawlessly" on ATI cards in the the pre nvidia influnced code....




I can't belive people do not under stand with NV dishing out well over $20 million to some of these companies why it happens to be faster on thier cards no matter what they have to do to obchive it....
