While all that may be true?
Are you really such a delusional moron? Have you *seen* any games running
on Windows with modern cards (both ATI and NVidia work well under MS
Windows)? No? Go and see. Here : http://www.gamespot.com

They are pretty much over for NVidia. ATI have lost my custom because of it.

Whats the point in having a modern card if you cant utilise their
features? Answer none. The likes of Beryl use about 3% of a modern cards
capabilities.
Yet again you are talking shit.
Gaming is one of the ONLY ways to see how a card really performs
compared to its HW spec - most of the cost and horse power of the modern
cards are for their on board 3d rendering and shading.
