... and here I thought my 460GTX was just plain outdated.
Now it's time AMD apologized for their everything related to Linux.
FFS I can't even use my notebooks discrete graphics because switchable graphics won't work with closed-souce drivers on my chipset!
this is badass
I was perfectly content with the 70-80 fps I was getting after I switched to the DX9 renderer, more performance is always welcome
I got fine fps on max settings.
wat my game runs fine
This is payback for all the times when games ran like shit on our ATI cards. Take that Nvidia lovers. You had your PhysX, we have our sexy hair simulator.

TressFX doesn't seem all that good
Then again, PhysX is only used really badly except for maybe PS2 or Mirrors Edge.

All those games where nVidia payed for special performance optimizations only for nVidia

that has never happened and optimization doesn't work like that (even if what you're saying is remotely true (which it isn't in the slightest), that doesn't mean amd cards would perform worse than normal), and if you're talking about TWIMTBP, [url]http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=243005[/url]

It's sponsorship. That's all it is.
Pity I can't update my laptop's video driver, as Nvidia have finally cottoned on to the large number of people unlocking 640M LE cards into 650M and beyond through bios mods. Clock speed locked at half since 314.x series :(
The performance impact of TressFX on 310 series drivers is insane, literally 40-50 fps to 10 fps.
Hopefully the bulk of the improvement comes from the game and not a further driver update

Actually, we have both. I am a"nvidia lover" because their products have severed me better and last longer. This isn't payback either. It's Nvidia not getting their hands on the game until it's release.

Absolutely false. As a dev I can tell you from direct experience nVidia does pay for feature implementation and has financed pc and nVidia-centric performance upgrades.
They will also send advance architecture samples and even an engineer or two if you rate high enough on the friends-of-nVidia chart. It's no secret nVidia payed for a large chunk of the development of Crysis, just as it is no secret AMD helped finance AvP 2010.
You don't have to overtly proselytize for card-centric optimization when you're putting boots directly on the ground for a project or sending them advance release hardware for compatibility testing, that happens by itself since you have tools and info directly available to you when provided by the vendor.
They've released a new patch - 1.0.718.4, which says that the perfomance is improved on Nvidia and Intel cards. If it's true, I'm gonna be so happy.
EDIT: Well, it seems to bring more frames on my GTX 560Ti, but I still can't play it on Ultimate quality, mainly because my card is too weak.
