Lol, Lopo's just got it out for Nvida, dont really know why.

The code is not that great really. There's still tons of issues within it, of course the first BF had possibly the crappiest code ever for a popular game.

Support for cards running Pixel shader 1.1 could have been easily tossed in and with surprisngly good performance too, but it was easier for them not to, and it allowed Nvidia to push more current units actually (Nvida actually sponsors BF2).
