Nvidia 169.XX drivers are being questioned in Crysis

[DilTech]

Out of curiosity what would have to be programmed wrong for this to happen?

Wouldnt it have to be a shader that is told to perform its function at x time interval being told to instead do it at y time interval.

I am skeptical, but thats because I have hard time believing this to be a bug.

QFT

i don't think it's a bug either

Definitely doesn't look like a bug to me.

So I guess to you guys, the ATi lost planet bug didn't look like a bug either?

This is actually kind of similar to the Cat 3.8(I think it was 3.8) bug where specifically certain shadows would appear as squares(HIGHLY dropping the resolutions of only said shadows). That was a bug that only effected the 9800's after the X800's came out.

If that was a bug(there had to be a serious screw up for that to occur), dropping the shadows to around 1/4th of their resolution in 3dmark 03 GT3 and far cry, what makes you guys think this isn't a bug?

Remember the rule of programming, what fixes one thing generally breaks another.

Also, everyone take this as a warning. Any "fanboy" flaming from EITHER camp will not be tolerated. I'm trying to keep this thread open until we hear confirmed word of a resolution to the situation, so please don't make me close this thread. Any beyond my post WILL be dealt with accordingly.
