Why has nVidia criticised Beyond3D and ends up qouting Dave?

[K.I.L.E.R]

That's very strange. Yes, this is about the "internal" slides.
Though my question isn't about the slides, it's about why nVidia criticised Beyond3D.

When did this occur and why?

Funny how they use a dave quote but say this site is filled with idiots
Which site is filled with idiots? Who said what where? :|


This one, i think.

I think he might be refering to a post on the FM forums ( http://discuss.futuremark.com/forum/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=techdisplayadapters&Number= 3768830&page=&view=&sb=&o=&fpart=all&vc=1 )

nvidias chief software architect visited some tech college (or similar) and


I also asked him if he visited hardware forums. He said that he visits beyond3d because they are morons and don't know what they are talking about and it gives him a good laugh. I asked him about futuremark (refering to forums). He thought i was talking about the benchmarks. He said he really doesn't like 3dmark and the only thing it is good for is the artwork

Sorry for the crappy formatting Killer, but I'm running late getting me kids dressed and out the door but wanted to answer ya....I asked the 'xact same question yesterday when I heard about it. ;)

I read the NVIDIA statement as being a reference to the posts made by members on our forums and not the site content.

You're trying too hard to give nVidia the benefit of the doubt, you're way too nice! ;)

I don't think NVIDIA has ever publicly criticized Beyond3D (the site, its partners/staff). They know they can't without also saying developers are wrong to compliment the site.

Does anyone think that maybe some NVIDIA employees may hold a grudge against B3D because B3D exposed the pre set clip planes and other cheats NVIDIA were using and probably still using on the NV3x line?

I think that couold be a very true statement. I think IHVs like everyone will in general remeber the bad things rather then the good things.
