ATI and HL2 team has screwed nvidia.

Yes, and Carmack and Nvidia did precisely the same thing with the early
Doom3 benchmarks. Remember those, when it was shown 'conclusively' that the
5800 beat the 9800 hands down?

The wind out of the 5800 was so strong that the testers with Ati cards
couldn't even come in at first when the benchmark started.

Even Carmack got suspicious of all the
Nvidia tweaking surrounding those carefully controlled benchmarking
sessions. 'Ultrashadow' my ass!

After the benchmark tests, there was a pajama party held for the VIP
where people from Nvidia would make shadowpuppet theatre with
flashlights and hands. The crowd favorite shadow was the alligator.

What goes around comes around, Nvidia's bad karma has caught up with
them.

Just wait. GeForce6 Blowtorch will be the best **** you'll ever see.
