"Talking about STALKER...
Did you know they're developing the game on Radeon 9700s?
I quote a reply from the STALKER DEVS:
"In fact, the graphics engine is developed on Radeon9700.We demand special support from FX driver guys, 'cause in pure/standart
DX9 it's impossible so run the engine on FX, at the moment."
"
In this preview it specifically mentions that the engine is running on the GF FX.....
http://www.digital-daily.com/editorial/geforce-fx-presents/"The slightly primitive transport models and some minor flaws with the trees implementation revealed a nimble graphic engine running on NV30 in real time. "
as does this one...
http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/gffxlaunch/"He touched directly upon the GeForce FX. Not only was he speaking about the characteristics of the new GPU and demonstrating a card based on it, he also showed how the card worked in a demo system. All the visitors were enjoying NVIDIA's demo programs of future games. STALKER made everybody fall silent - the audience looked at the screen and recognized the good old elements"
and this one...
http://www.3dgpu.com/previews/geforcefx_3.php"The shadows, lighting, and detail shown in this screenshot from Stalker are unprecedented in current generation games. The peeling paint on the walls leverages the power of the GeForce FX GPU.
"
and numerous others.
