ATI Talks Game Support, Future Of Graphics Cards

Posted by simoniker on Monday June 23, 2003 @02:53PM from the duel-to-death-with-nvidia dept.

Sergio writes "Slo-Tech have posted an interview with ATI's representative in game developer support, Richard Huddy. He touched on many subjects, including the evolution of DirectX and OpenGL, why ATI doesn't provide much information to Linux driver developers, and the most common mistakes of game developers ('Nine out of ten games under-use the graphics card. That's amazing, and it's been true for the last three or four years.')"

First Post, plus ATi Linux driver performance by Yeechang+Lee · 2003-06-23 14:59 · Score: 0, Offtopic

According to the Antalus flyby benchmark in UT2003, my ATi Radeon 9500 Pro card (or is it 9700?) scores 88 in Windows 2000 versus 68 in Linux. Hopefully the gap will disappear, as has on the NVIDIA side, soon.
