They only did that on their TNT2's cause the TNT2 wasn't capable of real tri-linear filtering. But since there were many retarded reviewers out there that didn't know that, they put a G400 w/ real trinlinear filtering against a TNT2 faked trilinear filtering and concluded TNT2 is faster at trinlinear filtering. Basically Nvidia was cheating just as bad as ATi. Except Hocp doesn't like to write negative articles on Nvidia. Just ATi.

No EDB, it was a little more complicated than that.
If you asked the nVidia drivers if they did trilinear, they said yes (dishonestly), and gave you bilinear. Then the trilinear benchmarks got bilinear scores, rather than not running at all. Pretty cheap.
Matrox didn't like, the G200 said it didn't do it, and for a while the nVidiots were gloating about it.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment
