Well, it seems that the battle between ATI and Nvidia has now escalated into the truly sophomoric, or is that sophomoronic, don't have a dictionary at hand. Warning - material of a sexually deviant nature to follow.
David got the following email, which has heated up the Web today:
I'm excited to release an OpenGL wrapper that allows any ATI DX9 video card owner to run Nvidia's awesome Dawn demo. The wrapper was sent to us anonomously by a group of MIT engineering students. I've tried it on the Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB DDR II board and it runs great! We've taken a bunch of screenshots and did a small writeup.
When I first saw Nvidia's new GeForce FX Dawn demo I was quite impressed. ATI's demos done by Alex and the ATI Research crew are of course impressive as well, but the Dawn demo had a certain appeal. Maybe it was the human form, life-like facial expressions, realistic skins tones and texture, or most likely the sexual appeal. So it was disappointing to find out that this magnificent demo would not be able to run on ATI's DX9 graphic cards. Luckily a group of MIT engineering students were disappointed by the same thing (also rumoured that they were unhappy with Nvidia's image quality and performance) and were up to the task of making it work on ATI hardware (and the brains!). The end result was an opengl wrapper that made the demo run smoothly on ATI hardware. Most impressive!

It appears that Nvidia's girl, Dawn, can also be rendered nekkid, fresh as they day she was born, if she was an actual person and not a 3D model! However, the great contact lens shortage of the early part of the 21st Century has left many nerdy types believing that retail graphics cards can actually render figures so lifelike that you can almost touch them, or at best, get your jollies sweating over a naked 3D animation.
I believe that next on the agenda Nvidia will be giving ATI a wedgie and Chris Hook will retaliate by calling Derek Perez a poopyhead. Of course, we will be there to cover this intellectual battle of wits between two companies that probably need a vacation, or at least a couple of days in detention.
Tomorrow, Dawn talks about planned parenthood, and why she doesn't like prophylactics. Hint: they're not natural. Hmmm.
Dawn sleeps with ATI (tm) - boa ! Quem será a seguir ? O cavalo da ferrari com o gatinho da Jaguar ?
