Half Life 2 - nVidia only?

	Lyo` eSports.Edge 17:58 13/4/2003	no...... its just ppl with nvidia cards will be able to use more features in the game graphically [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Ripper Rush! 17:59 13/4/2003	no its a good idea, with less gfx cards to base the game around it'll be easier (and quicker) to create the game, and graphical bugs will be easier to fix. Who gives a s*** about ATI users, sean just brought a new ati card haha :() just kiddin fella's, ul guys [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Ripper Rush! 18:00 13/4/2003	if its true that is [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	tiSSue 18:00 13/4/2003	theres no way it'd be "nvidia" only its like loadsa games say "nvidia" on it but that just means they based the game on nvidia cards.. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Dev theb0g 18:01 13/4/2003	eye, i lurv mi Radeon 9500pro and wouldnt change to nVidia just for HL2. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Nick^ 18:01 13/4/2003	Old and bollocks, everyone knows HL2 is using nVidia's CG programming, means f*** all about optimisation of cards, look what happened with 3DFX and Glide, as soon as it's released ATi will release new drivers to fix potential issues/speed up performance. Yawn yawn. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Hotshot Choke 18:02 13/4/2003	its like demo CDs u get with bundled GFX card packages, theyre optimised for a card but not wholly static in terms of compatability. Should be ok. Im not buying an nvidia card if it isnt :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Scam 18:02 13/4/2003	Theres no way that could be true. They'd lose half their customers, surely. No company would go out of their way to make its customer base that much smaller. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	phonics 18:03 13/4/2003	theyd loose loads of money if it wasnt compatable with everythign so of course theyd make ati work with it [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Nick^ 18:04 13/4/2003	3DFX went bust after Glide, if anything like that is tried again same will happen, simple. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	DoZ Anti-saviour of UKT 18:05 13/4/2003	They'd be willing to lose half the market if nVidia payed out more than the other half would've paid out for it [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Nick^ 18:06 13/4/2003	nVidia posted losses of $200 mill last year, ain't gonna happen. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Ripper Rush! 18:34 13/4/2003	shut the hell up chris who asked for your opinion [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	sU Warped Reality 18:41 13/4/2003	well, 3dfx only went bust because their v4 and v5 were really late onto the market and by the time it arrived it was over priced and they ended up with to much back log, meaning they could ship the 'rampage' which would have saved them nothing to do with glide [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	sU Warped Reality 18:43 13/4/2003	Couldnt ship the 'rampage' :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Chris0 18:47 13/4/2003	doubts nick^ then backs it up with facts, im doubling my predicition of 1000 word essay now! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	sU Warped Reality 18:55 13/4/2003	hehe :), i have a few hidden gems in preperation! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Nick^ 18:59 13/4/2003	Partly, but partly also due to terrible relations with games developers, a lot of games refused to run on Voodoo cards, and this was the time of the Voodoo 3, not its later incarnations. The last few cards were a dying ploy to get people to buy, it had started going downhill way before. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	DoZ Anti-saviour of UKT 19:01 13/4/2003	Is that IT? We waited all this time for THAT? [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	shads theb0g 19:21 13/4/2003	well old news, still bs, it prolly just has a lot of cG optimisations meaning nv cards will get 25fps while every other card gets 24fps surely thats still worth boasting about though!?! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	akujii0r Infinity-eSports 19:28 13/4/2003	ati have nothing but problems in hl anyway granted the 9700 is an awesome care but too much hassle if you play a lot of cs.. just read the half life thread on rage3d.com utter joke [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Dr_Evil`` 21:15 13/4/2003	Cant see how u can make a game Nvidia only because its all based on Direct X or Open GL graphics standards which both ATi and Nvidia will have access to. What the story means is that they will be working closely with that particular gfx card manufacturer optimising their games to their hardware. This goes on now, teams from nvidia will visit software houses and show their programmers how to make better use of the hardware. Long story short u might get better FPS on certain hardware for certain games, just like now really... [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Marcus calibre 21:29 13/4/2003	i don't think thats necessarily true when i was at vr bath once, there was this game that worked on the gf4 ti4600, but NOT the gf4 mx if a game can be made to work on 1 card but not another, with similar specs, then im sure they could do it with ATI and nvidia [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Nick^ 21:31 13/4/2003	Mm, depends, in theory if Valve are using nVidia's CG there could be realms of difference in performance between the game optimised for nVidia's own coding and ATi's hardware left to its own devices. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	akujii0r Infinity-eSports 21:42 13/4/2003	nick are u insane? go read rage3d hl thread like i said catalysts 3.2 only give an escape bug whereby u cant press escape without it locking up their is a huge performance issue whereby 9700s are outperformed by gf2 mx's only in half life like i said go read [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Nick^ 21:44 13/4/2003	Would prefer not to seeing as I've been on about 3 different setups running Radeon 9700s and they've handled CS without any problems? [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	akujii0r Infinity-eSports 21:47 13/4/2003	then you must rock 35 pages of people all lying out the back of their teeth just to get ATi people to do more work and the escape bug. Ati have been puttin more time into the performance issue than the escape bug for 3.3's so go figure [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Nick^ 21:48 13/4/2003	Maybe they have, but your perceptions are formed from experiences, and mine have been good throughout. I didn't imply that any of them lied at all, but I've never had a problem. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Pharcyd3 01:24 14/4/2003	lol i doubt valve would be stupid enough to make it nvidia only, i think that more likely nvidia are trying to make up for their loss of sponsorship of Doom3 with UT2k3 and now HL2. Actually on the "i doubt valve would be stupid enough" note... dont quote me =/ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
