I am not saying they did or did not optomize for it, I'm say they said they optimized for it. What I'm saying is that there are much better ways they could have stated the same thing. eg:
Improved DVD Image Quality
The Catalyst® software suite 5.13 introduces driver tweaks provide a better DVD image quality. As a result, there is now full support for the HQV DVD Benchmark and higher benchmark scores.
It's like for gaming, saying something like this:
Improved gaming performance
The blah-blah-blah introduces driver tweaks that provide improved performance for D3D games. As a result 3DMark is now fully supported and scores are improved.
vs if they were to say:
3DMark 2006 Benchmark support
The blah-blah-blah introduces full support for the 3DMark 2006 Benchmark. These driver tweaks provide a higher D3D performance, and higher benchmark scores.
ATI (or nVidia) would be flamed if they were to put something like that in their drivers/release notes for a gaming benchmark. They should be smarter than that.
It's the focus on improved HQV performance that is what I was commenting on.

You're right it's the closest thing to an objective benchmark and ATI leaves nVidia in the dust now. End of story. |
I never contested that.
