LOL i dunno if id say the competition between ATi and nVidia has gone to competing with drivers (cuz its simply not marketable enough)

Ya but I think what he meant was so that ATI's video cards can compete because alot of performance issues in games like Doom3 are basicly because ATI does not have as good an opengl driver as Nvidia. ATI is totaly Re-writing their driver because they know it too be true ..

Interesting thing is that OpenGL is ATi's "traditional" home turf

Actualy it's Nvidia's .. Direct X is ati's.

Although this is by no means proof .. there's information all over the net similier to this.
