To my knowledge: FP24 is perfectly within DX9-spec, so is FP32. FP16 is NOT. Ati uses FP24 which is perfectly OK for DX9. If NV uses FP16 it is NOT OK for DX9

How does feel to live in the year 2000?

Carmack does fine because he too writes specific codepath for NV-hardware! For some reason NV cards runs the standard codepath like crap! He needs to specially tweak the codepath to NV in order to get acceptable framerate. Hell, every sinlge DX9-banchmark has shown that NV sucks! 3DMark03...

Here's a pic of Paul Baldwin

No sh!t Sherlock! "old school".... hah!

Didn't Gabe Newell say that he has noticed that some of the NV "optimizations" include things like post-processing screenshots (to show better image-quality than what's actually outputted by the vid-card during the game) and disabling fog on some levels. So it seems that NV's "The way it's meant...

And as to the claims that "these results are not reliable because Valve is in bed with Ati!": Have you ever considered that they might be working with Ati since their game works the best with Ati? They don't have to waste any time "optimizing" for Ati hardware, it just works.

It seems that 3DMark03 was right after all.

They should legalize cannabis. It's about as harmful as tobacco is, and tobacco is legal. The problem right now is that the source of cannabis is often the same as the source of hard (cocaine, heroin etc.) drugs is. That can increase the number of people using hard drugs. Making cannabis legal...

Ummm, Renault is not behind this one. The interior shares it's basic idea with the current Nissan Primera (difference being that the interior of Primera looks OK), and it was done before Renault got involved

It's the Quest for crappiest interior ever! Seriously,who designed that interior? Who came up with the idea of calling the car "Quest". How do they come up with those names?

The main benefit of RDS (IMO) is that in here, you have nationwide radio-stations, but their frequancy can change as you go through the country. With regural FM that would mean that the reception would get poorer and poorer, untill you re-tune the radio to pick the channel up on a stronger...

Did you call her Blossom :P?

It's "Das Boot"! Sheesh! As to movie-suggestions... Man Without a Past (95% on RottenTomatoes) Leningrad Cowboys go America

True, but the actual price (the sticker-price) of the product has not come down, even though the actual costs to make the product has come crashing down. you can't deny that. I would guess that price of manufacturing CD's has dropped by about 95% since 1985, yet consumers have not seen one dime...
