Radiosity on R520, whereforth art thou ??

[perkam]

Run a search in the news section, I posted it awhile ago. NVidia have a definite advantage there.

When a company has exclusive access to a resource voluntarily not made available to its competitors, its called a monolopy, not an advantage. So yea, Nvidia has a monopoly here, and all the Nvidia-sponsored 3d game companies will jump at the opportunity to make a slide sometime in 2k6 showing lack of it on ATI's nex gen hardware.

ATI has successfully countered this with HDR, which is available to all graphics companies, and with its successful implementation in many games, it defeats the need for radiosity imo.

FYI, ATI has never sponsored a company which has limited access to its competitors, which I've said a couple of months back too, unlike Nvidia which allowed Splinter Cell: CT to have SM 3.0-only advanced effects menu. When Nvidia wanted to implement 3dc in its future hardware, it was able to access those algorithms freely Its a foul marketing practice that works and ppl dont notice because Nvidia's green gets the halo and ATI's red the symbol of the devil all too often.
