ATI and Nvidia accused of price fixing.

"would explain by nvidia and amd are "buddying" when it comes to the cuda and phys"

If you read the user comment's post there are a whole bunch of clueless guys writing about the cuda and physx, thats all BS, Nvidia and ATi need to get together about the physics to get game developers to use it in their games, if not it will fall flat like the ageia physics did.

So what, they are the only actors out, ofc. they tend to get head to head with one and another, if not we will only have ONE actor on the market and then... (GFX/GPU = fail)

Price will always be in both companies intrest, they both want to get as much of our money as possible, and this is ofc. the way it works in all type of buizzines...

Yeah, that PhysX talk is a bunch of trash, I think they are ACTUALLY competing in the physics market, but yes, one unified physics platform would be the best thing to do, they should just implement one into DirectX.Marfoo

We have two major graphics API's that work just fine on both ATI and Nvidia cards. There's no reason this couldn't be done with physics as well

Wow I mean I dont regret spending 300$ for 2 4850's but this is messed up I paid 450$ for 8800GTS 640mb, which was probably a rip off, no wonder you see cards that are just a hair better than competition, which kinda brings me to Crysis, I think they were in on this Crytek, I remember Cevat saying how affordable 8800GT was when it came out and its perfect for Crysis, they made a great looking game but it was optimized like crap, meaning you had to buy a crazy card to run it, I am pretty sure Crytek is in on this, Crysis is responsible for a lot of these high end cards.deniiiii21

Im not with you on that crytek is the source to the evil, crytek did bring us the best looki'n game ever, and if it get the GFX/GPU developers bringi'n out better products that's awsome, there are only a few games out to challange even the medium priceranged cards.

We all want better stuff to use in our PC, thank crysis instead of blame it in this particular matter.

OWNED!

This made me laugh. I hope they both get smashed and I get a cheap 280GTX.

Nobody to blame for purchasing these high end cards but yourselves. If you knew that Crysis was so poorly optimized and no card can still run it, dont play the damn game. Its just another FPS that looks nice.

Hear hear!

I'm a bit more skeptical about this, personally. I'd be very interested to see what kind of proof the plaintiff provides. Release dates and MSRP are not exactly trade secrets and can be emulated legally by other companies in the market. Similar price ranges and release dates do not make a conspiracy.iBP_Rickochet

That sounds nutty. Either way no matter what they charge it will be overpriced though I'm not complaining if these suits lead to lower prices :lol: but it's like that with all technology... do you really think 120GBP mobile phones cost that much for the company to make? ofcourse not :P probably costs them like 10GBP. I hate GameSpot, doesn't allow me to do the pound sign, always gives me html errors but I bet every other user can type pound signs without problems -.-Brainkiller05

Wow! that sucks for us... whats the worst that will happen to ATi & Nvidia? f-a-d-3
