3D Nature and Partners Declare ATI drivers Unsuitable for Professional Visualization

This is pretty funny, so many nVidiots chomping at the bit expecting me to declare this a non-issue. ATi's professional level OGL has always been lacking, that's no big secret being discovered just now. Maybe they'll address it and these guys will be satisfied, we'll see - until then if it bothers them so much, they can switch to 7800/7900 Go solutions for newer laptops and stick to nVidia hardware for professional rendering. For consumer gaming this doesn't affect me or the millions of other radeon users that purchased their cards for gaming at all so why should we care?

You've got to be kidding.

Is it any surprise that NVIDIA has better OpenGL drivers? The original GeForce was designed by former Silicon Graphics Inc engineers, the same people that invented OpenGL. Many current NVIDIA engineers used to work at SGI, including Mark Kilgard, who was once the OpenGL God at SGI.
