http://www.steampowered.com/ati_offer1a/ as long as you have an ATI card, you get halflife 2: deathmatch and halflife 2: lost coast absolutely free  Finally, they're doing something right!! (unless ur using nVidia muhahaha) Also, 1/2 price on several other half-lifes. Edited by Cold on 31-05-2007 20:20 |

for a good while yeah, because they will have loads of problems with drivers, which nVidia have now mostly sorted. |

ATI's new card sucks in comparison to the 8800GTS & Ultra's ... its out & on the shelves, will have to see how it does in bang for buck wars with lower range nividias as ATI are targetting its price lower than the Nividia 8800's Traditionally ATI cards have always had the edge in HL based games as the engine is optimised for ATI cards, so you will find for the most part HL2 plays better on ATI equipment |

no fight needed Quote Being optimized for ATI graphic cards does not necessarily mean that it has worse performance with Nvidia graphic cards. It rather means that ATI graphic cards can provide you the maximum performance in bump mapping and other various effects because the Half-Life 2 engine is optimized for Direct X 9.0. Even with Nvidia's graphic cards, you will run CS: Source properly. Furthermore, if Nvidia's hardware improves to fully support the various function of DirectX 9.0, you can enjoy Half-Life 2 with the same performance as ATI graphic cards. Bit like latest Doom engine's are optimized for nvidia kit |

Not at all, the software houses do seem to be favouring one platform or the other..how many games have you cranked up of late which start with Nvidia The Ways Its Meant To Be or something simlar |
