IF you REALLY think that AMD couldn't have addressed an "older" title like Lost Planet 2 with their driver optimizations then we must be living on a different planet.
Sure they could have. But they DIDN'T. Why should a certain title not be used because AMD is too damn slow on driver optimizations or just doesn't care?

Furthermore if you think that its only due to drivers that GTX 470 is on par with HD 6970 and HD 5970 then your planet is further away then I thought.
Fermi was always targeted towards DX11 titles and its performance shows that. Cayman and Barts are a hodge-podge of two generations of products; an older one and a newer one. You don't seem to understand this one fact for some reason.

Plus, as I said: AMD could very well have comparable performance if they bothered to optimize their drivers for it. I for one won't bury my head in the sand just because someone's driver development is spinning their wheels.

That way as I mentioned you SHOULD DEFINITELY add other NV lead sponsored titles and be done with your almost unplayed but in review games list.
That's actually a great idea. I should stop playing lip service to all the trolls who refuse to realize that both NVIDIA'a AND AMD's developer relationship programs should be rewarded. If anyone wants to sponsor a title, I am all for that since it pushes technologies that would otherwise not be seen in this overly consolized PC gaming market. If you aren't all for that and don't agree that it should be rewarded, then shame on you.
