What ATI has is real (DX11, Eyefinity, Stream) and the only thing that nVidia truly has is CUDA. (don't get me wrong at all folks, nVidia GPGPU is the future until AMD and Intel can merge their GPUs onto the same die//OpenCL)
Physx, 3dVision, and Batman AA are gimmicks.
Explained, the Agiea PPU was designed to speed up games where CPU's at the time couldn't process calculations as fast. This resulted in high framerates and a lot less jitter. nVidia and developers have become lazy and enabling Physx on even the highest end Nvidia GPU's, games take a significant performance hit. Per Keysplayr's review. nVidia turned something good into crap.
3D Vision is already implemented in some games (Trackmania) and it works great. Why rely on a driver department to implement a feature for all games when developers could implement it in their own engines much better? 3D vision should be a developer's responsibility, not a GPU driver company.
And Batman, oh man, that is nVidia at its best. Too many threads on this.
Stay classy nVidia, stay classy.
Yes, Nvidia's features suck so badly that everyone who doesn't have the features feels the need to hack drivers to get them. Someone hacked 60Hz monitors for 3DVision. Someone hacked a patch to enable PhysX on an ATI/Nvidia Hybrid system. Someone forced AA in an ATI control panel to get AA, or tried changing a graphics card ID.
Obviously, these are things many people wish to have? PhysX, 3DVision, AA in Batman? If they didn't wish to have them, they wouldn't bother.
Trackmania. How do you know it works great? Or should I say, better than if the GPU vendor implemented it? How many different games have you played using 3DVision?
In fact, how many of you here in this thread have actually tried 3DVision? I see bfdd has.
Anyone else try it and not impressed by it is just blowing the biased smoke. It IS impressive and makes you want to replay or try every game you have. Old and new.
PhysX isn't going anywhere guys/gals. Batman:AA is the best PhysX title out yet.
That porsche/diesel analogy was cute. But to all those who said that the comment of a GTS250 being faster than a 5870, and didn't realize that it was meant to be understood if comparing any PhysX title, instead scream bullshit? hehe. Well, it isn't. I know you all know that it's true when it comes to PhysX games. Can't deny it. Captain obvious statements do not make the situation false.
And AA in Batman. It seem pretty obvious to me, that AMD users wanted to use AA in Batman. It obviously means something to them. AMD didn't seem to want to do the same thing Nvidia did with Eidos. Has anyone written AMD to ask them why they didn't? Sure, you can get AA by either forcing it in the CCC, or changing an ID, but why should you have to? But no, blame is shifted immediately to the bigger company for not enabling it to their smaller competition. WTF?
I'm very surprised that most of you do not think Nvidia has anything at all worthwhile feature wise over AMD's offerings. That just doesn't make sense.
Eyefinity is pretty cool for anything but gaming IMHO. DX11 isn't really a feature advantage for AMD, as Fermi is DX11 as well. And Stream? Compared to CUDA? Please guys, really?
