Ian McNaughton goes out against The Way it's Meant to be Played

[AbelJemka]

i remember when ati did this with valve based games, half life 2 in particular ran slow on nvidia hardware but when the games was tricked into running the ati shader path for the game on nvidia cards the performance shot up considerably.

people tend to forget that things like this have always happened in the past and will continue to happen in the future. i wont be surprised if DIRT 2 has some ati bias in it.

Another guy who try to rewrite history...
Nvidia FX series run the game in DX8.1 mode and you can force them to run in DX9.0 mode by using ATI code path. That's true.
But Nvidia 6 séries run the game without this trick in DX9.0 mode and where behind ATI X8xx series

on a similar note nivida's dx10.1 chip showed improvement for battleforge with the dx10.1 path.

ATI has not pay enough to have code line :
{If Nvidia_DX10.1 card run DX9.0 code
end}
What a pity
