Q: How has your relationship with NVIDIA helped during the game development?
A: NVIDIA has been a great partner throughout the development of Neverwinter Nights. We rolled the NVIDIA relationship from Baldur's Gate II right into Neverwinter Nights, so we were provided with a whole slew of GeForce4's very early on and worked closely with NVIDIA's developer relations group to ensure we were taking full advantage of the hardware. BioWare has had a long-standing relationship with NVIDIA and we've been able to achieve some amazing visual effects in our games that wouldn't be possible on anything other than NVIDIA hardware. The graphics effects in this game are just incredible. Be sure and check out the shiny bumpy water. And the combat effects, from spell effects to sparks flying off armor from a sword hit.
