NVIDA's Money Lures EIDOS To Pull Patch
=======
EIDOS Interactive, the publisher for Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness
issued a patch a couple of weeks ago for the game which happened to
include a way to use the game as a DX9 benchmark. Since it shows NVIDIA
hardware performing slower than ATI, EIDOS has pulled it down. Remember,
this is a "Way it's meant to be played" game, which means NVIDIA has paid
EIDOS marketing money. Keep in mind, that this patch improved performance
on both ATI and NVIDIA hardware. Here's a bs statement from EIDOS Europe:

"It has come to the attention of Eidos that an unreleased patch for
Tomb Raider: AOD has unfortunately been used as the basis for videocard
benchmarking. While Eidos and Core appreciate the need for modern
benchmarking software that utilizes the advanced shading capabilities
of modern graphics hardware, Tomb Raider: AOD Patch 49 was never intended
for public release and is not a basis for valid benchmarking comparisons.
Core and Eidos believe that Tomb Raider: AOD performs exceptionally well
on NVIDIA hardware." - Paul Baldwin, Eidos
