Hey, as long as it works and doesn't make the games look like a55, I'm all for it.

" which both they and nVidia used to try and deceive us." What a idiot. And the USA never landed on the Moon. Go back about four years and start over with your history of 3D graphix. You have know clue. Oh wait you where 12 years old then and still in the 3rd grade, my bad.
karlotta
yeah and i cant spell either...*know is to be *no. lol

well that the usa landed on the moon is widely disputed, since the astronauts should have died in the radiation belt between the moon and earth(they had NO protection what so ever). plus nasa's pictures have been doctored... you cant take puctures against the light and still get perfect detail in the shadows... unless you have another light source... which they didnt.. several "sets" were also reused in the films and photos... both with and without the lunar module in them...

The original landing may have been fake of course. But obviously theyve been there, go get a telescope and look at the landing site on the moon. How else would they do that? :P
El_Coyote
actually you cant see the landing site in a telescope... not even with hubble.

&.. We stole the following off a NASA discussion board. We would usually just link to it, but discussion messages have a habit of expiring and this was too good to lose. Ed Cheng explains there's a law of physics that would prevent Hubble seeing the Lunar Module, and it's to do with the size of its light collecting mirror. The wavelength of visible light is around 550x10^-9m (i.e. very very small). The diameter of Hubble's mirror is 2.4m. Highest ever physically possible resolution = 1.4 x 550 x 10^-9 /2.4 m = 3.2 x 10^-7 radians At a distance of 350,000km this works out as about 124 metres. As Ed says, roughly the size of a football field. So even if Hubble's camera had a greater resolution, it still couldn't see the Lunar Module.

But I bet it can clearly see all the OPTIMIZATIONS both companies serve to us.... And one thing I dont understand...why is it a feature to be able to turn off all optimizations ? I dont want my fps to drop !
