ATI should learn from Nvidia

[RavenXXX2]

Rant on. One thing that plagued me and my 5870 was the powerplay downclocking in games like BF2, you would be in a jet and the clocks would go down and stutter hell would ensue, sure there are work arounds but why should we have to edit files, Nvidia on the other hand give you the option of disabling their powerplay altogether or for specific games.

ATI need to get their finger out and start putting more effort in to the drivers, this one of the many reasons why you get people saying Nvidia drivers are better than ATI's and have better support. Rant off.

Only for games that do not tax the GPU much like BF2 or games with vsync on, as said you can set it to a global setting of max performance for all games and apps so no down clocking or set to a specific game so you can still keep the power saving options like with accelerated flash media which would otherwise run at for clock speeds with max performance global setting.

You can say it's the control panel and not drivers all day long, but when it effects your game to me it's drivers, ATI should show more interest and put game profiles in and get vsync hacked to work in Vista and W7, you notice these things when going from ATI.

The way I see it, it's the whole package when you buy a GFX card and currently compared to nvidia ATI's package is inferior. Now I wish it was not that's why I want ATI to put more resources in to their CCC, I mean you spend so much on a gaming card the least they can do is provide features similar to the competition.

I think we can all agree that driver wise ATI an Nvidia are mostly comparable " except in the muti-gpu department, nvidia owns that area " but Nvidia produce way better software to support their cards, ATI must do better.
