Have to remember that'd be pretty stupid to make a game that wouldnt support a nvidia card, since my good ole *sniff sniff* 3dfx is gone there's only like 2 big companies (correct me if I'm wrong). So tell me now how they can just shut out one for the other? that'd be like telling them they dont wanna make near as much profit. So basically, Half Life 2 needs some work on their cards, the game isnt released or anything so what do you expect? its gonna be s***ty with some cards and better with the ones they have the SDK's on. Once again correct me if I'm wrong its 8am so I'm not totally awake
