ATI vs. NVIDIA: ATI Steals the Show

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the video-card-shootout dept.

(54)T-Dub writes "Apparently a group of MIT engineers made an OpenGL wrapper for the NVidia Demo of 'Dawn.' (a fairy with high sex appeal) Even though the wrapper adds more overhead the demo still runs faster on the 9800pro and creates higher quality images." Yet another reason it's good to have engineering students on your side.

    If anyone wants it, I've mirrored the OpenGL wrapper here (78k).

    You can get the dawn demo from here

    3DFX was dead before NVidia bought them. It wasn't NVidia that killed 3DFX. 3DFX did that all by themselves. Between unreasonable product delays and abysmal financial mismanagement, they doomed themselves.
