I haven't read the 35 replies yet, but just the quoted paragraph for the topic.
If John says precision doesn't really matter to Doom, why the hell does Nvidia get to have lower precision for better speed at no cost and ATI is kept running at higher precision that's not totally needed for the game. That way us ATI players get that extra peformance too, not just Nvidia. It just seems unlogical for ATI to be running at higher precision for no point while Nvidia gets the lower with no visual costs to make their cards look better than they are. I wonder how good ATI's cards would be then against it with a similar path to what Nvidia will run.
Though, don't get me wrong, if there was a visual difference, then hell no, keep it high, like with HL2, where there is a difference usign the mixed path for nvidias card there.
But again, why slow down a card with higher precision that's not needed and give lower precision to another card with no loss in quality. It just seems unfair that a card could perfom even better with no visible cost. Oh well.
Does anyone get the point I'm trying to say? And when he says the precision used on nvidia doesn't matter, that's where I get no visible cost from. Correct me if I'm wrong.
