    Lar's in his GeforceFX 5950 and GeforceFX 5700 levels some IQ optimization against ATI. He provides screenshots taken from the Radeon 9800 XT and the FX 5950 Ultra. I'm not sure how he judges that the FX 5950 is rendering the image properly without a reference refrast. Also he doesn't state what driver is being using to take the screenshots. In his test setup he states both Catalyst 3.7 and Catalyst 3.8. Which is it? There was a known bug in Catalyst 3.7 that caused games to run in 16bpp mode when setting the main OpenGL slider in the ATI 3D tab to quality which was fixed in Catalyst 3.8.


    ATi válasza:
    ATi, on the other hand, repeatedly claimed that their drivers implemented no illegitimate optimizations. The accusations leveled against ATi at NVIDIA's Editors' Day two days ago thus become that much more serious. Epic's Mark Rein confirmed that in some cases, high-res detail textures were not displayed in some areas by ATi´s drivers and that standard, lower-res textures are used instead. Randy Pitchford of the Halo development team also mentioned that there were optimizations present in ATi's drivers which are detrimental to Halo's image quality. However, Randy didn't want to go into more detail here. Finally, Massive's new DX9 benchmark, AquaMark 3, also displayed some irregularities of ATi drivers in the overdraw test.
