Re: New Graphics Card

Intel do the same thing with their compiler, it cripples performance when run on AMD CPU's...Duke wrote:It's nothing new, many game developers have a tie-in with one brand or the other, hence why they work better for that brand... it goes back many years, Microsoft Flight Sim X is well known to work much better with nvidia cards for exactly this reason.
Saying that, once a game is released the other brand can & usually do try to optimise their drivers but in most cases they never quite get the same level of performance.

Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.
