Not that I'm familiar about... Anyway... There not as bad as Matrox's failure to deliver feautures promised

Nah, Nvidia is screwing over GFFX owners too. There's a lot of missing driver support there.

IIRC, there's a couple of ATi missing features as well. (f-buffer in DX?)

Basically what it comes down to is this; We as consumers are fscked by one and all graphics manufacturer and we all have to very carefully research all the advantages/disadvantages of all cards and see what is right for us, BASED ON WHAT IS CURRENTLY SUPPORTED. No use looking for cards that say "this will support xxx feature in three months". Make sure the card we want has all the features we need NOW. Otherwise we'll probably get screwed. This is the last time that I buy any card before it's been out for a few months for us MURCers to either trash or appraise it.

It's both hardware and software that are sold half baked these days.
