If Maddox Games didn't program or test on new architecture would that be AMDs fault? The fact that the 69XX cards were available since December for purchase and Maddox Games decided not to bother is again not AMDs problem. Yes AMD have a responsibility to ensure their stuff works as advertised but not for pre beta software. Like it or not CoD is not optimised or close to finished and that is purely the devs fault, not AMDs or Nvidias. Or maybe we should bombard Nividia and AMD with requests to fix the lack of FSAA, purple land tiles, lines on the coasts and flickering trees and building shadows in CoD. Taken as a whole the number of issues that CoD has points to the fact that the graphics engine (and indeed the entire game) is still a WiP.
I have logged two support tickets with AMD for this issue but deep down I know CoD is the most likely culprit. This all reminds me of the fact that when the new Nvidia 8800GTX series GPUs were released, FSX did not show self shadows on the aircraft. Myself and a whole bunch of others bombarded Nvidia forums and support with requests to fix the problem. Every single one of those requests were ignored. Eventually FSX SP1 was released and the issue was fixed by the developers. The moral, sometimes we are barking up the wrong tree
Here is a link to just one of those forum threads, I made a few posts in anger over that issue! Sorry for going slighty OT on this.
