Creative on Fill Rate

by Steve Gibson Oct 08, 1999 1:30pm CST tags: Creative
Ever since that statement from Glaze3D about the GeForce benchmarks sucking, Creative Labs has been in quite a huff. Have a look at their latest response in an attempt to make the card look better. I love that "I can't tell you why because of NDA" stuff. It's my favorite.

... do you always have to read a Z [buffer]? Nope, in some systems you can skirt this issue as well. Because of NDA's I can't tell you how Nvidia or 3Dfx or S3 or anybody actually gets more bandwidth out of a system, all I can say is that the simplistic calculations are utterly beside the point.
