[Discussion]Why is my CAMO NET MISSING?

Game : Stalker : Clear Sky

This is what Nvidia Users see


And this is what ATi Users see


http://legitreviews.com/article/946/1/

And oh. Both are using the latest drivers.

Discuss.

Quote:
This is of course just one minor issue with one game title out of thousands available, but I thought it was interesting to point out that what video card you pick does impact your gaming experience. Sadly, no one has the time to sit around and play every single game on both NVIDIA and ATI graphics cards to make sure that all the objects are being rendered or if they appear with the same video settings. Video card reviews are good at showing performance, but in the real world performance numbers don't add up to having a better gaming experience if objects in the game are not being rendered for some reason. Just to clarify again, both AMD and NVIDIA cards have this issue, but I just spent a full day benchmarking for the Radeon HD 4890 versus GeForce GTX 275 article and saw this issue once again.

Because ATI can't see green but red only.

Minor fix will be made i guess...

Okay, if it's an issue, why is the area behind the camo net rendered properly? Should it be uniformly green with the same texture?

I didn't know ATi can make camo nets invisible. Embedded cheat code?

Look at the top left corner, the shade of tree rendered by ATI cards show more contrast, can see different shade while Nvidia only one shade for the whole tree branch. Of course because you are using Nvidia card to see these pictures and i am using a ATI card to see so we see different things?

Back to this "issue", if its rendering issue then how come ATI can render the frame and background underneath the camo net if its not there? So ATI cards can do un-mosaic? Most probably its just that there is a few versions of the same area and gamers will randomly see any one of those.
