ATI Releases Competition for NVIDIA's Cg

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the battle-of-the-3d-languages dept.

death00 writes "ATI has released a beta of RenderMonkey, their suite of open, extensible shader development tools. ATI showed these tools for the first time at Siggraph 2002. Should be interesting to see who wins the shader development race, NVIDIA's Cg, RenderMonkey or whatever 3Dlabs has on the go."

    Maybe the software is to show the best of its new video card.

    Tom's Hardware had a pretty favorable opinion. Article

    My next card is a GeForce.
    I can't play any games at all on my PC without a crash if I use the latest ATI drivers for XP. This has been for the last couple of revisions already.
    I am forced to run the XP packaged drivers. Slower but no bluescreens. Of course no openGL games. Oh well.
    I have a Radeon if you're curious.

    Yes, competition is bad and hurts the consumer. True innovation can only be ensured by a single strong and dominant industry leading standard.

    VIVA REDMOND!

    Oh wait, thats not quite what you meant to imply, was it?
