Article detailing the OpenGL isses (VSYNC spinlock problem and mipmap compression)

Maybe related, maybe not, but there also seem to be serious problems with ATI and the OpenGL rendering mode in Sun Java, from colour errors to display corruption or crashing.

3D Nature, a leader in photorealistic landscape visualization??? Then why
have I NEVER herd of them before? thier some small "LLC" who doen't even have
shares or nothing....and are a "Privately owned" company. But then again who
knows after all thier software is $3000 i can't find verry little about them....

no trade marks or copyrights? No listing period at the better bussiness beru..
???very stange... can even find a number of emplyesss other then
a hand full of "officers"

all i could find is this website started in 1999 and by the looks of it poor web site
design and lack of 3d looks like an amature did it. Clicking demo's = page not found?

fobis

lol. It's just a private company, you shouldn't bash on them so much... They're just pointing stuff out...
And for god's sake, fix your spelling.... It's horrid.

EDIT
I wasn't trying to be rude, The_Neon_Cowboy. Sorry if it came across as that. I'm just saying that your spelling makes your posts barely comprehensible.
Spelling things phonetically is nice and all, but it really makes your posts look like they're coming from a 8 year old... Again, not trying to be rude or offensive, just pointing something out...

Spyre

Theres a hotfix driver set out to fix the issue

Spyre that link does not work from here and gives this error:

Spyre

Gah, just goto the search function and search for vsync then as it shows up then.

The_Neon_Cowboy

search for 22262

The other issue (texture corruption) also gets a mention - 737-22263: Corruption when converting textures in OpenSceneGraph tool kit

Same fix.. - Not quite sure from the file version, looks like it may be a post-6.4 so perhaps the fixes will make it into 6.5

Judas

there are several copanies that are world leaders in graphical technology and design....

you know what company did the effects for lord of the rings? can you call them by name?.. would you know it if you saw there page?

most people wouldn't

The_Neon_Cowboy

No, but it would it be small and mostly empty, broken pages and look like it was
designed by amature? No!. A 3d graphics company (auto cad like applications
NO GAMES) who's site lacks.. graphics! Thier name isn't even uniqe actuall if
you search thier comany name you faind verry, verry, little. other then some
mention of thier existance and the software they sell. Hidden amongest hundreds
of thousands of hits from the key words. (have nothing to do with them)

I mean seriosly they don't "look" like anything... regardless of who they
are or aren't

EDIT good read

Yes but, even a page with terrible graphics... doesn't mean much of anything in the end.....

alot of businesses thrive even with zero pages..... or so barbaric pages that it looks like a word document typed up with a bit of color, have excellent products to provide... or services...

something can look good but be utterly terrible, just take a most of the nice looking website today, that are nice a perty... but can't provide jack in terms of good support or service
