News - AMD calls NVIDIA's marketing bluff

[HEXUS]

Richard Huddy, AMD's head of European developer relations, accuses NVIDIA of "trying to market its way out of being late out with DX11 hardware".

A high powered DX11 graphics card and an elderly woman? This makes no sense.

I love ATI cards over nVidia cards; I have both in high spec variants.

However, nVidia CUDA documentation is a million times better than ATI Stream documentation. This is the one section I'm really disgusted about with ATI.

ATi will probably drop stream for DirectCompute as it is more widely used and will be even more so because of DX11.

I hope something happens about it soon because I'm sick of proprietary standards such as PhysX being used excluding ATI users from using it.

It would still require a standard library for the physics processing itself, although DirectCompute/OpenCL would be a sound backend for a standard physics library.

[watercooled]

I didn't mean proprietary, what I mean is that least there will be a standard across all platforms.

Yeah, I'm just pointing out that DirectCompute and OpenCL don't do physics processing by themselves, they still need to be passed physics instructions to make use of hardware accelerated physics.
