yeah, very good article...Thank you very much!!!

Especially this:

Quote:
NVIDIA’s render path seems to be more efficient: it calculates up to 4 lights in a single pass, while ATI’s path can calculate up to 3 lights per pass. ATI says that it is possible to calculate 4 lights on the X800 hardware in single pass, however, by now this has not been done, which may mean that either it will be enabled in future FarCry patches, or will not be activated ever for some reason.
Got to love that!!!
