I'll ask QA to take a look when they have a chance (not soon) and get new
performance numbers.  If it does well enough we'll add support.

__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 smooths things out for Nvidia but there are
hitches every once in a while.

"Supported" for Aspyr means that we have tested it on that hardware/driver and
feel like the experience is good for players using that hardware/driver. 
Nvidia's proprietary driver did that, everything else didn't.  

If you want to stress test the driver and see the performance under high load,
I suggest using the Deploy Beacon part of the "Bright Lights, Flying City"
mission (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Bright_Lights,_Flying_City) when the
first round of robots arrive near the entrance to Overlook.
