ATI sucks

Nehe wrote in the news: Tronster had contacted ATI about a prize for the next contest. The emails were great at first. Once they realized we were hoping to get a video card, they flat out said "NO"... Of course they worded it more like "We are very sorry we can not help you". Funny considering the site is all about graphics, and they are big enough to give out a handful of cards (let alone one). So back to square one. Huge thanks to Tronster for actually making an effort to contact someone on my behalf! Everyone should band together and give ATI a piece of our minds, Nehe's site is THE definitive OpenGL tutorial site and generates a lot of interest in the coding community in OpenGL which in turn helps out ATI in the long run. They can afford to leak out one card for a contest they owe it to the developers. [edited by - sinistrx on April 10, 2003 6:34:55 PM]

I really don''t like the interface they designed for ATI_fp (or whatever it was called)!

If you''re talking about ATI_fragment_shader, I don''t like it either. But if you compare it to NV_register_combiners you''re kidding ! NV_rc is the most weird specification I''ve ever read about OpenGL.

JD: Please be more precise about Jason. There is more than one Jason at ATi, as well as there is more than one Jason at NVIDIA

by god yes.. register combiners were just straight weird.. especially as they were effectivly, at the time, something so utterly and totally differnt.. that on it''s own was enough...
