Or maybe they do, and it's just that the driver did not bother using the feature. Hum… patching the driver state, that’s gross :p

Read the slides the other day, but didn't watch the video until today. As you said, it was short, but I think it was good and straight to the point. It's good to see a feet-on-the-ground talk like yours :) Even though everyone would love to make the next crysis, just a few will. But fortunately today there's more people to target! Nice talk!

And with render targets in general (cubemap render targets, non power of two sizes, etc.). But we default to D3D9 on Windows, and I'm happy to forget those nightmares.

I resonated with absolutely everything you said about GL driver problems and how GPU companies generally ignore you in favour of the big games. Something that seems to be broken on almost all platforms randomly from version to version is hardware generated mipmaps. Does Unity use that? We've tried to use it for years but as time goes on we seem to disable it on more and more systems (except nvidia who have only broken it once) because everyone else seems to screw it up.

The Assembly seminars are really excellent to watch. They touch upon subjects that 'regular' seminars tend to ignore, and they're just fun, goshdarnit. Excellent presentation!
