nvidia still owns a large share of the graphics market..they aren't that stupid to just cahoots with ati cuz they gonna lose big $$$ if they do so..

HL2 has HDR right?
Ah, but don't forget that HL2 was demo-ed on a setup with a Radeon 9800 Pro. I'm just saying that the development of HL2 is swayed a bit more towards ATI, so to implement PS3.0 would be sort of contradicting themselves.

Yeah, even if they don't implement PS3 support, they are still going to make the same amount of sales, unless some idiots who only buys PS3.0 games!

Doesn't support PS3.0 is not the end of the world for Nvidia users.

P4@3.6, 1Gig and R9800XT should be sufficient.
But I won't play such crap like this.

Would be the same with HL2.

Right now I'm waitin' for the new Spellforce add-on (release on the 12th of November), I'm more into something like that.
Btw. Spellforce with full details needs more power than Doom3 on ultra-high does.

Now back to topic boys.

PS: I hate these smilies, like drugs you can't stop using them. ^^
