Volari Duo CHEATING!!!!

BFD, it's analogous to cheating in order to come in next to last in the Boston Marathon=who gives a f*ck

What really surprised me is that this card, having dual processor and a huge theoricall power, is so bad performer even cheating!!!

nVidia started it and XGI is continuing the trend.

I think u forget the quake / quack issue... or did nVidia cheat before that happend ?

anyways, application specific optimisations were used all the time for the 3DFX cards, and why shouldnt they, if they enhance performance, and adapt the way the GPU handles that specific engine, but a cheat is an optimisation that only superficially optimises it (if it were to optemise it so that a standard Q3 timedemo looked normally but everything out sight was clipped, that would be a cheat imho. but if it's overall improvement then you cant argue that app specific optimisations R bad.

NVIDIAs IQ didnt reduce in the 3dmark fiasco

It most certainly did. What happened when the camera moved? Heck, even the shaders themselves changed the IQ, even without the camera moving.

But yet it still somehow looks better than ATis AF .

Not only is that irrelevant but it's also incorrect in many cases.
