Nvidia caught "over optimising"

:Q


if that's the case then a 7800GTX really isn't much faster at all than an x850xt

Apparently Forceware 78.03 beta drivers take care of the shimmering, and preliminary benchmarks show that there no significant performance loss.

"Another German web site Computerbase , went a step further. It made a custom driver by changing the inf, where the driver could not recognise 7800GTX and use its optimisations. The card was listed as unknown but was working just fine. But when the guys went testing they noticed a massive performance drop when using those drivers, close to 30 percent and related it to anisotropic filtering. Nvidia has a lot to explain. "

That, is not good.

This is a little off topic, but if Bush actually said that. He is Fking RETARD. We should invent a new word for this kind of scale in retardation. Bushtard.

A little? That isnt even close.

Keep P&N out of video please.
 
Should be interesting when the official drivers are released and all these sites get to take a good look. :beer:

Do that for any graphic caard, ATI included and ill bet you you get a huge performance drop too.

As is stated, the latest forceware release is supposed to fix the problem (BUG) with little to no performance drop.

I hope Nvidia can fix it without a performance loss, godd to see people are keeing companies honest.
