Nvidia 169.XX drivers are being questioned in Crysis

[Tim]

My opinion is they are stretching their legs. They are still trying to get some things down solid in order to release a solid driver for significant improvements in alot of areas. But your kinda right. Waaaay too many beta drivers. They are trying to do everything at once.

But then again. If they release a solid driver fixing and improving one thing. Then people would be like "When are they gonna fix --insert whatever here--" thats my 2 cents.

Way to many? You guys are never satisfied, with ATI you have to wait ages for them to release a new driver to fix a bug. nVidia is right on the mark with delivering drivers immediately for optimal game support. It's never good enough for some of you.

People are way to quick to call something a cheat that could actually very well be a driverbug with Beta drivers.

How many shader/shadow bugs did the 2900XT have? Actually performance that was increased because of that? Yet no one said/says cheat, but with nVidia, ATI fanboys immediatly do so.

Pathetic.

NVIDIA Caught Quacking in Crysis?
While the issue is not as cut and dried as it used to be, there is some discussion of NVIDIA and its "cheating" in Crysis with Beta drivers. I am not sure when less than 1 frame per second to 2 frames per second became "cheating," but you can call it what you will. Cheating, or broken? I am leaning more towards "broken." Time for you guys to sound off on this one! One thing I do know is that NVIDIA is working overtime on their drivers right now to get ready for Crysis and its impending sale since the game has gone gold. If this issue were to show up in a non-Beta driver, or even the Beta driver at the time of Crysis' retail release, then it would certainly be worth discussion, but more from a "bad/broken" driver angle rather than a "cheating" angle. Nobody wants screwy reflections in the water for such minimal frame rate returns, me, you, NVIDIA, and surely not Crytek.
