OpenGL 4.0

Seems the "better made" OGL4 still has a little way to go against the evil DX11.

Thanks, more importantly how did they look?

problem with opengl is the design by comittee/ bloat/legacy layers. its so aimed at design more than games at heart. also lack of integration with other subsystems(audio/networking etc) is generally poor from last time i seriously looked at it

I wasn't paying much attention, but at a cursory glance they seemed similar enough.

That's because Heaven 2.1 really doesn't like the 10.5 Cats. It's early days yet, and they're quite close but if you have a look down the comments...

OpenGL has always sucked on ATI cards (in comparison to NV).

If I had the choice I would always pick D3D over OGL. (emulators and that)

Since when was an average of 50-60fps in a very intensive test 'sucking'?

ATI leading the way with opengl? maybe for games but for apps their consumer opengl is a worthless joke.

too true.

And why on earther would a linux user want to touch ATI with a barge pole I don't know.

Meh, they're driver support has come on leaps and bounds in the past few years, and nVidia have really dropped the ball in terms of releasing decent cards for reasonable prices.

Indeed, the only actual problem with my ATi card in Linux is video tearing.
