Well you read this article (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/13199/amd_respond_to_nvidia_s_tough_radeon_hd_5800_quest ions/index.html) about NVIDIA questions to AMD. The question were more like statements and very negative about DX11. AMD did answer the questions in that article.

The UPDATE of the article says:
NVIDIA's PR company for Asia Pacific in Singapore, CIZA Concept, has contacted us and claimed that the source of the questions was from them as "our observations, as industry watchers" and not NVIDIA.

At the same time some off the NVIDIA shills were promoting how useless the DX11 is going to be.

Anyway I did say NVidia is NOT negative about the DX11 so why the question?

Why they could have been negative about the DX11? Use your imagination.
Those questions don't resemble NVIDIA at all, I'm more inclined to believe it's all AMD propaganda.

I still maintain my question. So NVIDIA would be negative about an API they support just because AMD got their GPU to market before them?

Did you actually bother to read the article before accusing AMD of propaganda.

For example this part: (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/13199/amd_respond_to_nvidia_s_tough_radeon_hd_5800_quest ions/index.html)
This time was no different; the email came through right on time with NVIDIA asking the "tough" questions. To be honest though, I'm not AMD, I don't really feel great about answering questions on behalf of AMD, so with an email sent we had someone who was willing to respond. That person was Chris Hook who is AMD Global Communications, now with Global Communications in your title, you've got to feel pretty safe that the right person is responding.

So, what did NVIDIA ask and how did AMD respond?

UPDATE - NVIDIA's PR company for Asia Pacific in Singapore, CIZA Concept, has contacted us and claimed that the source of the questions was from them as "our observations, as industry watchers" and not NVIDIA.

AMD had absolutely nothing to do with the questions and NVIDIA claim the same.

Strange that NVIDIA's PR company for Asia Pacific in Singapore can send such questions.

The UPDATE part was inserted couple days after AMD did answer the questions.

Let me repeat it one more time. i never said that NVIDIA was negative about the DX11. Strange you asked me such question.

all I have to say about DX11 is.....
<object width="853" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bkKtY2G3FbU&hl=en&fs=1&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bkKtY2G3FbU&hl=en&fs=1&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="853" height="505"></embed></object>

And the GT300 doesn't have a hardware based tesselation unit like the HD5870 does,it's done with the shaders,so we'll have to see if there's any significant performance hit on the GT300 with tesselation enabled.

Ofc I read the article, that's exactly why I think it may be propaganda.

Yes it's very strange and it's not "tough" questions like the article points out, the questions are so convenient to AMD, don't get me wrong, I totally agree with AMD's stand on DX11 but NVIDIA has the same line of thought, just think about dx9.0c, CUDA, PhysX, etc. NVIDIA allways been very active in pushing new technology even if it has no immediate effect on consumers.

Let me repeat it one more time. i never said that NVIDIA was negative about the DX11. Strange you asked me such question.
You did say this

And when you say

When I Google DX11 I see hundreds of positive articles about DX11 even NVIDIA is not negative about it.

it seems you were assuming NVIDIA has reasons to be or has been negative about DX11 before you googled about it, but maybe I'm just reading too much into it, nvm.
