Who do you think would gain most from driver optimization?

Well from what I can hear neither of drivers are close to perfect for Vista (Which is sorta understandable, its not that old yet) But which who would gain most?

Like people tend to say that ati needs to get their AA fixed etc.

I think ATI did get their AA problem solved in general. ATI need to octomise for games like Gothic 3 , Crysis .

But from what I read Crossfire it sometimes performce lesser good than a single card which is... well not very acceptable.

if so maybe they should turn off one card in their 'optimization'.

AMD have a more sophisticated tech in their hardware. The problem is that it really hinges on their shader compiler speed. Technically they should blow Nvidia out of the water but there is something clogging the sink. Nvidia usually has a wide open valve, even if sometimes they let IQ falter in the process. ATI drivers usually act like an injection of Drano. I don't upgrade my 7800GT drivers all that often, because there is never a real improvement in speed so I gave up. Also, there are a lot less bug fixes in games because a lot of games are made on Nvidia tech. ATI on the otherhand, I upgrade every patch because even if they don't have major fixes for hardware in that particular version it usually has a slew of game fixes.

The same thing was said about Rage.
