Avalanche has released a new Just Cause 2 trailer showing off some of the swish graphical effects awaiting PC gamers--some exclusive to owners of Nvidia video cards.

In case you had forgotten, the thirty-five square mile demo of the stunt-happy open-world shooter was released today for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and is likewise now available on PC via Steam. The full game hits North America on March 23.

    If Nvidia would have better cards than ATI right now and if they would have eyefinity or something better too, then I'd consider going for nvidia, but instead of paying developers to limit "PC only stuff" to "PC only and the few people who go with that company who doesn't have the best cards out right now" they should rather get their stuff out and compete through quality and not cheap tactics like this.

    At least thats what it seems like.

      ATI does not have 3D glasses, no 3D Stereo Vision implemented.

      Blame ATI.

        Thats not the point, because as I understand it the features that are limited to nvidia are not only 3D stuff. I don't give a crap about that, but I don't like it when games offer enhancements for different video cards, thats just annoying. If the water looks better on geforce cards simply because its geforce for example. I already found physx annoying

        The next set of ATI drivers will have Stereo support, in a format much more open than Nvidias (ie, anyone can make the glasses for it)

        If you are referring to the new Nvidia arch (aka Fermi), it would actually be the GF100 chipset/architecture or the GTX400 series cards. There are no GTX300 series cards, only GT300 series. Those are not a new architecture, but rather OEM-only rebrands of the low to mid range 200 series.

        I wrote all that to alleviate your confusion but I think all I've done is cause some for myself.
