So what? Surely Nvidia will release new drivers to optimize Half-Life 2 ? Excellent, we all look forward to unlimited frame rates from an FX5200. Not. Out of interest, what sort of improvment do you expect to see from this driver rewrite? 10%, 30%, 200%? I eagerly await your answer. |

NVIDIA statement: The Optimizations for Half-Life 2 shaders are in the
50 series of drivers which we made available to reviewers on Monday [Sept. 8, 2003]. Any Half-Life 2 comparison based on the 45 series driver are invalid. NVIDIA 50 series of drivers will be available well before the release of Half-Life 2 |

Anyway, ATI might be faster, but since HL2 will be a PTP game (pay to play)
based on a monthly subscription like some others, how popular will it get ? and for how long? 5 minutes ? Mosy gamers out there won't ditch some $20 or $30 a month to play a game when tons others are out there for free. This might not be relevant but I think they are basing this on a game that will certainly not reach 1/2 of HL1's popularity due to be ptp. JC "Lee Marsh" wrote in message ...

Yeah you're right. Half Life 2 won't be anything special. At best they might sell 10 copies. Sorry for being so stupid. |
