DH Interview: ATI CEO - DAVE ORTON
- Thread starter Wunderchu
- Start date
Allan: When I was recently chatting to you in Canada we discussed driver development and progress, with the fact ATI are a leader in Direct3d performance/stability but are sadly lacking in the OpenGL sector especially when compared to your main competitor, can you detail how ATI under your leadership plan to improve this?
Dave: We are always looking for ways to improve our products. And a key part of that is our software. Many of the improvements that we have made in the software area are already evident. For example, we have improved our testing processes, resulting in more frequent and more stable drivers and we have implemented a feedback program to learn of driver bugs early on so we can rectify them. Some of the improvements aren’t evident yet, but will be soon. It’s readily apparent that the work we’ve done on the DX driver is world class. We are confident we will do whatever is necessary to make our OGL driver the new industry standard for stability and performance.

That would be a beautiful thing, particularly if sooner rather than later. There are responsibilities that come with leadership, at least if you want people to perceive you in that fashion. . .
