It is very sad when the person who I belief were very rational gets banned for challenging the norm. Just shows you the mentality around here. Fit in or .

No STEvil this is what I feel and belief.
I hope the bans are not permanent but people get banned because they create unrest among the community.
brb 11fps instead of 10fps.
Actually he want banned because of the extremely poor wording of his posts. He was banned for having multiple accounts.
Whatever floats your boat. We always see things the way we want to and if someone disagrees we take it personally and this is what Ive seen in so many of the threads around here.
But we are all unique and therefore will have arguments about many things. Some big, some small and some really insignificant.
Funny to see that this guy was banned ...
He was the perfect "Mirror Style" for some of us, AMD lovers ... :ROTF:
To be honest, I think a hell of a lot more people posting in threads like this should be banned.
I can't remember the last time I actually enjoyed coming on a forum and reading up about a new product. It's virtually always stupid silly immature mud slinging. It totally destroys the joy that one can have reading a forum. I usually skip right through every page till there is a link with some more rumours, I barely ever read posts anymore.
- On topic.
Crysis was one of the best looking games ever out there and it was good playing it with a G80 knowing it had that extra bit of reassurance that it was extensively used in the development of Crysis, I never had any driver problems, and even though it could have been optimized a lot more, especially on dual GPU setups, it was still quite good performance wise. I, as a gamer do not mind at all that a company wants to have their card run as best as they can in a game. It's up to the other company to do the same, if they want to. AMD has always been playing catchup in that regard. The proof that people still cry foul play whenever they see a TWIMTBP logo is just sheer ignorance to what the program exactly is about.
Right, XS is downing boyz ... Rotten by fanboyism and open mindless ... That's sad :(
Very true. I've just started playing Crysis again and I'm still amazed at the detail in the game. At first I did not really think that much of the game, but playing it now in all its glory it is really amazing detail. I hope this will continue in Crysis 2 with an improved story, or shall I say at least a story to it.
I don't know about rational but he made a few good points and true he didn't attack anyone. I was hoping someone would try to refute his point about getting what you pay for but instead he was flamed out of existence. It's his own fault though - he dug his own grave with his ridiculous posting style. The point just got buried in a bunch of nonsense. Though it seems the only tools available to the mods here are thread closings and bannings. Don't see much "moderation" happening.
You should try playing Crysis with the POM fix. It really makes the textures sharper and clearer on very high/extreme quality settings :up:

I already uploaded it to XS if anyone wants to download it
One of the things I really liked about Crysis was, aside from the graphics, the super tight controls (precise mouselook) even at very low FPS. I have somehow gotten used to crappy console ports running at 200 FPS but not being able to provide decent mouselook (Bioshock, go burn in hell.) so whenever I play Crysis it's a relief.
Yeah, basically the POM fix allows you to enable AF on any texture that has parallax occlusion mapping; mostly ground textures, and some of the foliage as well. Normally, the game disables AF on those kinds of textures (I think they did it for performance reasons) which makes them appear blurry and dull.
There is a slight performance hit associated with the POM fix, but any modern day GPU should handle it no problem.
And what does that tell you about the atmosphere here. People have multiple john dow account just to get their point across. It's almost suicide here to speak favorable about Nvidia. You will get attacked and trolled, the evidence is in this thread.
Only people with agenda could turn something positive into negative. I mean how stupid do you think we are. Please explain how is it a bad thing for me consumer that a video card company supports gaming community. There is absolutely no prof that them optimizing a game will hinder the competition. It will run just that unoptimized for AMD cards.
Is it a bad thing that i as a consumer have a choice to get a card which will feature improved graphics based on new tech. And just so i can enjoy this "tessellation" Nvidia is spending 2mil! of their money mind you and promoting one of the last true PC developers. If you realy care about PC gaming company like Nvidia should be praised.
See a rational person will just buy whatever will bring better value for their needs. By buying Nvidia card i have a secure feeling that probably for most of the games i will play there will be good support in terms of features and drivers. I really don't care how they survive in business. As long as they not drinking baby's blood its fine with me.
Yup, kudos to them for the controls and char/weapon animations of the player. That is what made the game stand out imo. And cant say any other game have managed to do it as good. Sound was also good.
Hope they manage to keep the feeling in Crysis 2 :)
And to Vodoo and railer, nothing wrong with sharing opinions, and I don't think anyone will discourage that. As long as you don't act like an complete ass while doing so.
EDIT:
Drop it already, you having the need to mention it on every possible occasion just makes it worse.
Actually, right from the start I pointed out that polarizing open standards like DX11 with proprietary features will in the worst case scenario end up creating a console-type situation. If you want to play a game you have to buy the accompanying hardware.
I followed up by saying that was his choice if he wanted to blow a lot of money away that way, but I would prefer to have a choice.
If you want to enjoy eyefinity, you have to buy ATI (although nvidia is introducing a competitor, it still needs SLI). 3D, PhysX, nvidia exclsives. These are not central to the DX11 library so as extras is it ok. Levering the library to give your architecture advantages starts going into the grey area.
Furthermore, the only reason why I joined was because he went on a tirade where all he did was talk about how Manicdan was a fanboy because he wanted something from a company. He was also pretty condescending as well.
Then, as you back him into a corner, he classically goes back to the 'nvidia has more marketshare' and 'free economy, your choice, don't like it don't buy it' arguments. Man, he even tries to throw in failures like ATI's bullet physics (wut), and the now-classic driver talk.
A lot of you seem to be confusing that he genuinely (or is he just trolling me?) expresses hate for ATI and its 'red roosters' (see his last smiley filled post?). Most of us, however, at least I would like to see it this way, just find the glaring contrast between nvidia's spin and reality hilarious. At least, I do.
Ha, ha ...
I am really happy if Nvidia is working with Crytek, or any other game developer for that matter as I know that the hardware I run the game with will work and I might be able to enjoy the game with all it's eye candy and features.
A community consist of more than one party.Both party's can use tessellation,But if physx is implemented features are limited to one party.This is not a community based software,it is software designed for one party's hardware.;)
And if my card can run it then I'll enjoy it.
