Bad bad Nvidia.
I wish someone could slap their bums for acting like jerks.

Nvidia's PR statement regarding these claimed issue

Quote:

A representative of AMD recently claimed that NVIDIA interfered with anti-aliasing (AA) support for Batman: Arkham Asylum on AMD cards. They also claimed that NVIDIA’s The Way It’s Meant to be Played Program prevents AMD from working with developers for those games.
Both of these claims are NOT true. Batman is based on Unreal Engine 3, which does not natively support anti-aliasing. We worked closely with Eidos to add AA and QA the feature on GeForce. Nothing prevented AMD from doing the same thing.
Games in The Way It’s Meant to be Played are not exclusive to NVIDIA. AMD can also contact developers and work with them.
We are proud of the work we do in The Way It’s Meant to be Played. We work hard to deliver kickass, game-changing features in PC games like PhysX, AA, and 3D Vision for games like Batman. If AMD wants to deliver innovation for PC games then we encourage them to roll up their sleeves and do the same.

Though this is only a PR stunt by Nvidia IMO, and they did play dirty.....

Wow ! I just hope the battle to intensify somehow

:devil me:

nish_higher · 09-30-2009

Bah .this is just one more reason why developers would neglect PC platform and consider consoles

**KiD0M4N** · 09-30-2009

What is game developer set to gain by NOT cooperating with AMD? Kick backs from nVidia or to gain any sort of support from the GPU giant?

I believe Intel was doing this earlier on... forcing OEMs to exclusively use Intel CPU and giving discounts.

ManISinJpr · 09-30-2009

I say we ditch Nvidia altogether and choose ATI all the way. but when consumers can't decide between right and wrong then these companies play dirty as they know that there customers are toooo loyal to leave them.

sohail99 · 09-30-2009

He he! I'll be able to enable AA and my bro wont!

btw I hate all these battles! maybe nvidia was afraid that ATi, even after enabling AA will be able to give better visuals/fps!?

isnt there a lawsuit waiting to happen with such kind of tactics... Intel is still smarting from what they did so many years back

y? there is nothing illegal here, its just that NV has a lot of $$ and ATI dont....they cant pay developers to optimize games for their hardware.

dips0502 · 09-30-2009

But arent the game developers more to blame here..I am sure AMD would have done the same if they had a chance to..
