@DrBalthar, from a game developer's perspective, if NVIDIA is doing all the development work, and this adds features to the game when running on NVIDIA hardware (and lets face it, most gamers have NVIDIA hardware), then why would you decline such an offer?

Personally, I hate what NVIDIA is doing with CUDA and PhysX (not even allowing ATI users to use a secondary GeForce card for it), and would love to see these technologies die and be replaced with cross hardware ones.

As for the Steam Hardware Survey, the graph of DX10/11 systems is a month back, for some reason, so there may be more DX10+ systems than it shows.

@DrBalthar
OS X is completely free-market, i don't know what your talking about (apple isn't controlling anything on OS X).

i guess you never used OS X in your life.

Sorry Humus but I don't understand your comment here. As a developer I think you should be aware there is CS4.0 and CS4.1 so you do not need DX11 cards for doing DirectCompute. Nvidia with their marketing programs (CUDA, PhysX, TWIMTP) hurt PC gaming more than it benefits.

Sorry but I totaly have to disagree this is a bad move from Valve, Job's MOB and his policy towards censorship and blablabla isn't very good (see the iPhone platform). More power in his hand is just BAD news. I woudln't even be suprised if Steve's MOB might even shut down Valve's Steam on MAC as they might be seeing it as being a potential threat for his own Apple software stores
