Just had word from AMD that Valve have apparantly fixed the Source Fog bug so I decided to check for myself.

Surely enough it has been fixed on there side!

I used the same set of drivers for both pics, one was taken before Source had updated and one after

Before update:

After update:

HD2900XT and the GTS/GTX, funny thing is Valve made nvidia fix It where as they fixed It straight away on there side for ATi

, drivers used were the 7.5's. It was Valves fault afterall.

You can see how AMD/ATi is in bed with valve as they wouldn't fix it for Nvidia, they had to do it themselves in their drivers.

Bah just beaten.

Aye looks like nvidia got ****** over, I know people who avoided the 8 series because of that fog bug which went on for months and months

Bah. valve are fanboys, should have fixed it for nvidia too in the first place.

Tom|Nbk · 16 Jun 2007 at 17:51

I remember Valve basically said it was nvidia's fault and wouldn't give them the time of day. Lol, poor nvidia, kicked out the door by Valve then they sort it in a matter of weeks for ATi. Ouch

Look just above the crosshair in the top shot, the grey blocks, and theres more to the right of those, thats the fog issue.

Damn beaten again.

Sounds like it. It's already a shame we only have two major graphics card companies, but when software companies become fanboys then it's just a disaster.

Shame on you Valve. Very unprofessional.

alternatively they just tweaked the nvidia fix to work for the Ati card

, hence lower research, dev, test, deploy cycle
But chances are they fixed it for all those getting the ati bundles because of pressure from Ati
