Scary silence

Mize · May 17, 2002, 08:56 PM

I know there's a lot of optimism about forthcoming driver sets from ATi, but the dev site remains unchanged and I'm starting to worry that the R200 teams have been weakened as efforts focus on brining the Rv250 and R300 to market. In the end it's probably the right move (don't want the same kind of driver b*tching that the R200 caused), but I sure hope the polishing continues.

Was I rambling? Sorry.

nooo, impossible, you might not be looking in the right place
check all the folders on the ftp, give us something, even a dll will do

seriously, I thought there were 2 different teams working on drivers, one for R200 and the other one for R300??
It would not make much sense to pull some ppl from one team right now, right?

i dont think so, at least i *hope* not. besides the whole idea is with _UNIFIED_ driversets from ATI, correct? so even if they have started dev on r300 versions, we will all benefit.

The teams were for developing the cards

The dev site is a html page, so no searching, just enter and see the date of the drivers on the button

Yeah, but the drivers will come optimized for the r200, so no much performance increase, and the bugs of the r300 will come to the r200.

But personally I think that they are making a good driver set and since they don't want it leaked and want to get the hit on nVidia, leaking drivers will not help for reviews (they use lastest from ati...)

"Driver team"? Didn't you know? The ATI "driver team" is a guy named Earl who works alone in a dark corner office in the basement.

Most of the reviews i read always seem to be a leak or two behind.

I Think KillerSneak! have made ONE Program,It look Someting like this

10 Load "Cyborg/Omega" Driver
20 if cool driver in mem then goto Rip_driver
Else
Print "KillerSneak! Drivers Is best

"
30 End
Rip_driver: 40 Replace "Cyborg/Omega " With "KillerSneak!"
50 Save Driver "Blackops! V.018237475"
60 End

I hope not, but maybe to nVidia with the (x)3Dfx driver team, and then over to the PowerVr driver team (so he learn how to use the HSR lol)
