So what are they supposed to give everything for free? I'd rather have it done right and pay a few extra dollars then have it done wrong or not at all. Thats the whole reason I don't buy ati/amd is because when ageia came out, ati didn't want nothing to do with it. When 3D came out, amd didn't want nothing to do with it. ect. ect. Now it's here, we have it, thanks to nvidia.
Now that it's became profitable, Amd wants in. LOL..
Everyone says i'm a nvidia fanboy, well there ya go, thats one of the many reasons why. Want physX, buy Nivida.. Want 3D by Nvidia..
Another example is tesselation, amd had it baked in there cards for years, but they never pushed it, and nothing ever came of it. Then nvidia came into the picture, added tesselation to there cards, then bam, now almost everygame has tessellation.
I'm not saying amd is a horrible company. I'm just saying there cards aren't really for people who are really into gaming and seeing games push new bleading edge features. I mean if you don't like physics, or 3d, then IMO your just into storylines, and not really into graphics, so you should just go buy a console or something. I don't like scripted games... it gets repetative and boring. Games should be like real life, hopefully one day like the matrix, thats why I play on the PC, cuz I want to see that shit happen. Physics are important to games, and anyone who says different I think they just don't understand what physics really is in games.
Is nvidia milking us? No, they are making money developing "and" pushing new technology to gamers and developers, and thats worth a few extra bucks for a card if you ask me.
