Yeah, I am worried you're right.

I want to support AMD but I am still very much in doubt if I will get an amd vid card again.

Don't blame AMD. Blame Valve. L4D2 devs took out the gl_finish cvar, which is present in all other games running on Source engine.

If supported and using 13.11 Beta V6, gl_finish 1 seems to cause performance loss (gl_finish 1 was used to fix latency issues before this latest beta driver in Source games). L4D2 is the only Source game that doesn't have this cvar anymore, hence the performance loss.

I do not know what they did, to this game but that would explain why my other Valve games work well.

Happy Birthday, and how nice to get screencapture from Nvidia in the new driver.
