AMD outlines its Gamers manifesto

Interesting. Would be nice to see physics become a bigger part of the actual game play. The great majority of systems would have to support it or the developer would likely have too small a customer base.

Maybe computers are too small a base and new consoles would have to support it. All the new games seem to be "cross platform" in development, which appears to mean built for console and a couple of extra visuals for high end pc. I wish ati/nvidia/intel could get together to promote computer gaming without the need to dummy down.

Interesting read. I think AMD is definitely stepping up its game as of late as far as developer relations and innovation. I remember being surprised but happy to see some AMD and ATI logos pop on the screen when I fired up STALKER: CoP for the first time. This has definitely been an area AMD/ATI was lacking in, but they really grabbed hold of the reigns and took control of DX11's market entry, and did a good job at that I think. I hope they continue and improve their efforts though, and don't snuff out like before.

If you think Fermi is late, well then this should piss you off:

+3 years late...
"Expected at the end of this year..."that was 2006 :hmm:

At least Fermi is real...and AMD still makes empty promises

Fermi real??? That's a good one.
