Zardon sends word that DriverHeaven has posted another great ATi Interview - this time with Richard Huddy who runs ATi's European Developer Relations Group.

Richard: We have such close working relationships with all the major games developers that sometimes it almost feels like we?re all part of the same team. We go out to game developers and give them presentations on how our technology is changing and what they should be thinking about over the next years. And at the same time they talk to us about the problems they?re struggling with and the solutions they?ve tried. The games developers get the credit for the games, and we get the credit for the chips...
