You are correct, they gave me the Purevideo whitepapers last year, but not the chart of supported products. I honestly believe they were trying up until the second NDA elapsing that they were doing their best to implement some sort of shader workaround like ATI uses for this.
As for this, whether their "fix" is for all games or HL2, beats me. I'm just passing on what he told me because some seem concerned nV is "ignoring" the problem.
When you look at DarkSwordsmans reply I have to wonder why a person would deny themselves the amazing gaming experience that SLI provides just because they have
one game they can't run widescreen SLI accelerated? Bearing in mind you can run it normal aspect ratio, on a single card, or just wait for the fix?!?!?!
I'm a
gamer and can tell you I'd trade my left nut for this level of performance. Can you imagine what it's like to start with 16X12 4X8X as your
minimum setting?
I would own this if it meant that I couldn't play Half Life 2 at f***ing
all, not just having to make the choice to run it great on a single 6800GT (for now) or SLId in 12X10 or 16X12.
How people make a big deal of this is beyond me.....
