I'm not talking about the current state, I'm talking about the E3 demo. And they stated that Nvidia's cards would run it the best, and they do. I have been to many a LAN party because I'm a nerd, and a majority of the ATI's present didn't run it as good as the Nvidias. Hell, one of my best friends has a 9700 Pro, and it barely ran the demo. The big dog-robot thing was a big, one-colored block of pink. At that time, it wasn't very nice to ATI. Things probably have changed since then, though. And it's not bull.

And I didn't say it WOULDN'T run on a 9800, I just said it would run better on a Nvidia at the time.

http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/...pecial_preview There's a link to Tom's Hardware. It has the graphs and stuff. It looks like Nvidia's cards do better the higher you crank the graphics. Can't tell me that Nvidia isn't being formulated into the code, especially at that time. They say now, though, that ATI and Nvidia are both getting their own designs for the game, so you can enable each setting for your own card. But at the E3 demo, the Nvidia was the only one that was working.
