We’re currently investigating an issue related to the forum theme and styling that is impacting page layout and visual formatting. The problem has been identified, and we are actively working on a resolution. There is no impact to user data or functionality, this is strictly a front-end display issue. We’ll post an update once the fix has been deployed. Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.

NFS4 put a link to to on the mainpage, so this thread ain't that important as a pointer anymore. Plus it somewhat positive about a company, so there really isn't much to post on....😉

What a steaming pile of horse$hit that interview was!
<< I can say that the vast majority of our optimizations are completely transparent to the end-user. Optimizing for a game involves much more than just cranking out the highest benchmark score. >>
Yeah, not being able to adjust the inage quality in ONE benchmark is completely transparent...or so they hoped it would be.
<< Most of our optimizations for Quake 3 and other applications have no impact at all on image quality, and therefore it would be pointless to allow users disable them. The current RADEON 8500 driver revision has an issue that prevents it from correctly interpreting the texture quality slider setting in Quake 3. >>
Ok, i think everyone has to just stop for a minute and ask themselves, "How stupid exactly does ATI think we are?" Yeah, I'm sure that little slider problem is completely coincidence...funny how this mistake somehow resulted in massively inflated Q3 scores. And us users are WAAAAAAAY too stupid to be able to judge for ourselves things like image quality and other "technical" things like that. What a BUFFOON this guy is...all doubletalk.
ATI has just officially lost what last shread of respect I might have had for them. I mean, come on...at least admit it when you're caught...don't call your customers stupid.

Thats just insane, "an issue with the quality slider" hehe, I cannot believe ANYONE would even remotely believe that garbage, ATI is a joke.
