Radeon's priority buffers

What would it take to shame Dave Orton into supporting the developer community?

I agree with you paddy. ATI seems real slow to put up new features in their driver and the documentation is not upated rapidly either. If there is EMBM in the drivers right now, just give the freakin’ documentation to everyone! Doesn’t matter if it is not totally working correctly!

Everytime you hear that you can have a new driver for Nvidia, there is always something new in it.

>The fonction definitions are in the glAti.h

Well so I believe next logical step for guys from ATI is to propose to developers to hack drivers to find out how extension works! :E

paddy is absolutely right. IMHO if such “developers relations” and badly supported OpenGL will be continued, only programs from Radeon SDK will support Radeon!

I fully agree with Paddy and the rest. Developer support sux. It doesn’t matter how powerful the hardware is if there’s no software to back it up.

Still no answer ???

No comments?

Yes, it would be interesting to hear from ATI.

[sarcasm] Nvidia would have already answer something[/sarcasm]

Chill, fellas. I’ve got all the specs you’re asking for and will be pushing them up to the website soon. It’s just that it’s the week before GDC and I’m swamped.
