    Certain ASUS cards and drivers already do this.

    actually the asus drivers were recalled, and the cheat was removed. and for those who still had the cheating drivers, there was some code released that allowed game developers to detect if those were the drivers the user was using, and if so, stop them from using it.

    and also its been awhile since those cards were out, so i'm sure by now they can't run anything new (but HL is still a potential problem i guess).

    But this new card, doesn't seem to be from any type of good company either, as i've never even heard of them. They'll probably keep the cheats in and then sell like hotcakes... :/

    p.s. cheaters should be castrated along with rapists.

    besides, ECS and ASUS are not among the more popular card manufacturers. They tried to increase sales by including an OpenGl exploit in their drivers, and even if they did, you're still not going to see a lot of people using the cards.

    uh, tycho, the link leads to a search page, what do i do after that?  btw, i think that those guys who make the cards should be castrated as well.  and maybe have one of their kidneys removed and donated.
