i mean, they have a picture of gordan freeman, and the link includes hl2, yet they claim its not.
FX cards can't play dx9 games without special rendering paths. we've seen this before and it seems to be a reality.

did nvidia buck conventional dx9 compatibility in an effort to push trademark coding paths for use in 'meant to be played games'?

just weird, because fx owners are always going to have to wonder if developers could emulate the original dx9 paths with special nvidia paths; basically at the mercy of money, time, and skill of developers that aren't getting nvidia's full attention.

It's halflife2 and it's running in full precision dx9 mode, no mixed mode or FX only shaders

It HL2. They just don't want to get into trouble by saying that they are using stolen code.

linkedWish they had used the new beta 52.14's. The 5600ultra running faster than the 5900!?! tweaking it so mainstream nVidia owners don't get completely left behind?
