A friend of mine wanted to try but couldn't:

. select any file inside the folder half-life 2\bin

he doesn't have a file in there.

I didn't ask but I would expect that he has show hidden files and folders enabled (if that has anything to do with it)

@jmke werkt het?

Comment from Xploited Titan @ 2004/12/01
yes, but it isn't needed.

I'm also referring to the artifatcs appearing when playing it in DX9 modus with an nVidia card, while you don't have any artifact when playing like with an ATI card.

they are not exactly cheating you know, the FX series included higher FP precision, which they used, simple as that
Comment from Xploited Titan @ 2004/12/01
Man, I hate when they do that. They may boost the competitor's technology if they want, but they may not downgrade the performance and quality of the other competitor. That's pure cheating on all the players. uke:

I felt strange when I noticed 9600XT returned 1850 3DMark03 while FX5900XT @1150.
When I read Doom3 was so "good" with Nvdia; I kind of figured news would be made in favor of ATI in short.

The funny part is both ATI and Nvda are trading neck to neck.

Playing games with PC does associate playing real money games in business to some people, doesn't it?

The players are; game developers; ATI; Nvdia and some software and hardware engineers couldn't keep BLANK.

It happened before; it will happen again ...... games people play and that's what we are into.
