Unwonted Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Gabe Newell of Valve software is pretty annoyed with NVidia.From TechReport:...Newell was concerned particularly with some of the techniques NVIDIA has used in recent driver releases, although he didn't exempt other graphics hardware makers from his complaints. He said they had seen cases where fog was completely removed from a level in one of Valve's games, by the graphics driver software, in order to improve performance. I asked him to clarify which game, and he said it was Half-Life 2. Apparently, this activity has gone on while the game is still in development. He also mentioned that he's seen drivers detect screen capture attempts and output higher quality data than what's actually shown in-game.TechReport article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Interesting. While everyone else is stumbling around in the fog looking for things to shoot at, you can just use the advantage of your NVIDIA drivers to sneak up behind them and give them a rocket enema.
