Fra Nvidia selv: "NVIDIA acquired Ageia and their PhysX technology simply for the wow factor in games."
"it addresses the benchmark DLLs to the GPU instead of the PPU or CPU.
The only thing that changes is that installer, nothing else."
Hmm... hvis du ændrer installeren, så har du sådan set også ændret alle filer der bliver installeret (Vangate-whore?)
"With GPU PhysX disabled, the overall 3DMark Vantage score is P11720
With GPU PhysX enabled, the overall score jumps to P14298"
- siger sig selv, når de allerede har indrømmet de har fiflet med alle installationsfilerne..
"HotHardware: Since your driver seems to be actually changing the system-level workload distribution of 3DMark Vantage, is it your opinion that this is fundamentally changing the benchmark?"
"Nvidia: This doesn't change the benchmark, just which processor in your machine handles it." blah blah blah (host_vantage_host_whore_host)
"The driver in question has not been submitted for authorization and is for demo purposes only"
---- siger ligesom det hele. Driveren er ikke officiel, og er derfor ikke en skid noget vi kan bruge til noget mht. benchmarks... hvis de ville kunne de lave en driver der gav x 3 ydelse i 3d vantage/06/05/03/01, men det er ligesom ikke noget der giver kunder i butikken, når det ikke har en skid hold på dig i real life gaming.
Mark Rein fra Epic Games siger: "We couldn't care less about synthetic benchmarks. Real players play real games"
NVIDIA was pretty up front with an actual press release on the driver. They insist that nothing in the benchmark has been changed, except for what processor(s) in your system process it and finally, Futuremark doesn't have a problem with the driver (and actually called the technology innovative) or how NVIDIA has worked within the BDP to get their current non-PhysX WHQL driver approved. Furthermore and more importantly, new PhysX-capable drivers will actually offer a better overall game play experience in real games, as you can see from Mr. Rein's rather firm response. So what's all the fuss about? Exactly, move along...there's nothing to see here; exce...
Kan gost være mit indlæg er farvet rødt ud over det hele af en ATi'lejer der er ved at tæske de grøn/blå fuckers, men helt ærligt, så ved jeg een ting mere end noget andet:
Konkurrence kommer forbrugerne til gode....
