Sorry guys, this video took me much longer than I expected it to take because the amount of dickery went so deep. It's not as though I previously didn't know about this stuff, but investigating properly... jeez, poor AMD :( Time and time again, it's the same story. I investigate.
0:08 - PhysX
1:16 - Tessellation (Important to understand later examples)
1:45 - Crysis 2's DX11 upgrade
2:31 - Fallout 4's Godrays
2:51 - Witcher 3's Hairworks
3:02 - Nvidia Gameworks Controversy
3:42 - Why hasn't AMD prepared for this? + Nvidia's defence
4:08 - AMD's competing technologies and open sourcery
4:59 - OPENGPU VS Gameworks... but will Nvidia accept?
5:36 - 3D Vision and Gsync
6:36 - Shadowplay XOXOXOX
7:15 - Conclusion
I knew this would happen, but there are a number of recurring responses from people. I'm pleased with this video because it says what I wanted to quickly and without getting off-topic to defend myself. But I'll do it here:
'Nvidia's a company! They're not meant to play nice!!!'
...no, which is why they're DICKS. What they're doing isn't illegal, but it's anti-competitive. It's not about using their own technologies. It's about deliberately making life hard for everybody else, which DOES have a knock-on effect for users of competing products.
'Nvidia is more than half the audience!!!11'
Doesn't change what I said tbh. But if you factor in Intel, who also does graphics, then they are about 50-50.
'AMD HAS RAPTR!!!!'
Yeah I mention this. Raptr's video capture is GVR. It's good, but can't support EVERY application or desktop use, which is very useful for me on a day-to-day basis. It's also only HD, and the limitations in other areas are lower as well. It's not quite good enough.
I would have included links to all of the sources but a quick google search of them works just as well. This video originally started off as a comparison between Nvidia and AMD technologies but naturally evolved into this as I investigated them.

I know I'm very late to the party, but I feel the same way: gonna switch to AMD for my next build. I've been watching videos by AdoredTV about the same topic, really shows how shady Nvidia is. I realize that they are allowed to do as they see fit when it comes to pricing, but with the recent release of their RTX cards their pricing really can't be justified. We as consumers can choose what we buy and who we buy from.

[@beckwilson2661]

Amd is the only thing that keeps nvidia from charging 8000 for a new gpu

[@Derively]

And Nvidia is doing the same with AMD. That's called competition.

[@NZRoflcopter]

Competition doesn't have to go down like that. They could be competing to beat each others performance and price to performance, rather than competing purely for profits. My idealism knows no bounds. Technically possible though, ya know, if people weren't dicks. I love both Nvidia and AMD as producers of amazing technology, it is truly incredible what they have made. I hate Nvidia as a business.

I'm an indie game dev. When it came time to decide what type of graphics card to focus on while developing my game, I looked around at what people were saying about AMD and NVIDIA, and I chose AMD. My rationale was that NVIDIA was faster, more performant, and had lots of bells and whistles AMD lacked, therefore if I developed for AMD, my game would run well for everyone, but if I developed for NVIDIA, it would only run well for NVIDIA customers, and I wanted the largest playerbase possible.

[@Darca1n]

[@KingGorrino]

There ARE indie games that are demanding. Look at Rust for example.

[@senjusan6359]

Actually as Indie game developer his game may look like shit, but also demands tons of resources from your device due to poorly done optimization. Dude, even big triple A companies tend to fuck up on optimization, that is why Indie games are very often 2D games that are much easier to optimize and even if they are poorly optimized, they still will never demand so much from your device as fully 3D title

Wait? Let me get this straight. Nvidia is giving away a free development tool that favors their technology over a competitor? That sounds like a good business plan rather then being a dick. Honestly, what company in their right mind would try to support their competitor or elevate them to the same level? It would be more work for Nvidia to aide a company that wants to put them out of business. This video seems like it's from the perspective that both AMD and Nvidia are non-profits.

[@Navhkrin]

+Barnacules Nerdgasm Exactly , Nvidia is SPENDING money. They got right to make exclusive things. But thats not what they are doing. They invented CUDA API, which allows developers to send C code into GPU's. Thats heaven for us. They have used CUDA to develop physic simulations and give it away for free(not open source, but free licencing) thats even better. But AMD refused to implement Cuda on their GPU's, at this point there is nothing Nvidia can do. They already made it so that PhysX can run on CPU for AMD users. This is not something that "happens-by-default" CPU implementation is required for this. And they did it, Borderlands, Metro physx can run on CPU. This clearly shows Nvidias attempts to make PhysX avaible for everyone. Catch is, CPU cant handle PhysX anywhere close to GPU can. I will answer some complete retarded claims. Neon Rouge - GameWorks API runs on DirectX , its not "nvidia specific" code. It does exact same in Nvidia cards as it does on AMD cards. There are very few ways to communicate with GPU's. OpenGL , OpenCL , DirectCompute, DirectX and Cuda. OpenCL , DirectCompute and Cuda are compute languages, you cant make "games" around them, you can use them to make GPU "calculate" things not for rendering things. DirectX and OpenGL are for "rendering" things, turning load of information to frames we can see. Only Cuda is Nvidia exclusive, and thats because Cuda is made by Nvidia and AMD refues to implement Cuda. Why Cuda? Because Cuda is the most powerful of compute apis.

Most likely Vega will wreck everything in terms of recording, since that is what youtubers do and they have a large audience, wich again makes for great advertising.

+Ha Kou too bad nvidia already did that, raising the price even more higher because amd haven't launch their new gpu yet. i hate how nvidia try to gimp older graphics card, my 6 years old desktop with amd gpu still gets pretty good gaming performance on new title game, thanks to their driver update. while my 2 laptop with 650m and 870m were gimped a lot, once i updated the driver to support new games like battlefield 4 on my 650m and battlefront on my 870m i get super bad graphic and they even recommend me to run on low setting while i can run more than 60 fps on high setting before i download the new driver. when i first bought both of the laptop they have better graphics performance than my desktop, they can run battlefield 4 on high setting before the new nvidia gpu released. now my desktop can run battlefield on high with constant 60fps, and medium setting on battlefront, while my laptop only runs on low setting with around 70 to 80fps.

AMD is making tons of money from consoles so we must help nvidia for PC its more fair

[@AizwellOfficial]

Ho Lee Chit Nvidia is seriously a dirty company, a pure example of corporate capitalism at work. While AMD seem to actually care about their customers.

[@OneTrueNobody]

It kind of sounds like NVIDIA is trying to play the old console wars game, except with PC gaming components. The issue there is, while (apart from Nintendo's bullshit third-party stranglehold in the old-old-olden days) the choice of platform often came down to first-party-published franchises prior to the PS3 and 360 generation, NVIDIA is purely a hardware manufacturer and seeks to manipulate third parties into limiting themselves to making games that only run optimal on their specific hardware--it ceases being about what games you can run on what platform and becomes about deceptively convoluting a single gaming platform. This is bad for PC gaming on the whole. As a relatively new PC gamer myself (rocking an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 card that was graciously donated to me after its former owner upgraded to something in the 950+ range) I'm all too aware that PC gaming comes with a significant barrier to entry even when you have good hardware: the inevitable settings tweaking, double-checking, controller input fiddling, and general complications of not knowing that you're playing a game specifically designed for specific hardware and specific graphical settings. NVIDIA is attempting, essentially, to turn their graphics card line into a PC gaming "console" by nudging developers toward a place where their own cards "simplify" the process while AMD's bring out the worst in the PC gaming *process,* essentially making itself not only the company with a hardware monopoly on popular games but also the one most inviting to console gamers looking to break into the PC gaming market (now that there's not as much divide as there used to be in what games are offered between PC and consoles). The problem there is, PC gaming is still "on the rise" as far as mainstream popularity is concerned, since the PC gaming library has largely merged with the console library over the past decade or so. We aren't dealing with the same market it was back during the 8-bit/16-bit/32-bit days when not just the titles but also the genres on offer were largely different than the ones popularized on consoles. Consoles have adopted old PC mainstays and old console mainstays are freely available on PC gaming platforms now. The gaming market has merged and now thrives on an environment of very limited exclusivity. AMD knows that PC gaming's strength is in sharing and freedom of customizability in combination with good tech--it's why their AMD Gaming Evolved program, powered by Raptr, attempts not only to consolidate the PC gaming experience but also to provide a community hub for console gamers as well. It also works just dandy when you're using NVIDIA's GPUs. I've got an AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core CPU in here alongside my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 GPU. My experience with this mix has been quite pleasant, but my next upgrade may well be to an AMD GPU if current trends continue. NVIDIA's tactics are greedy ones, but more importantly, they undermine the main draw of PC gaming and throw an artificial smokescreen in front of the entryway for newcomers.

+The One True Nobody! Is this what people mean by 'this game isn't optimized yet' LOL whenever I hear such weird sentences I think paid troll :P

[@sovereign126]

+The One True Nobody! I've never really had feelings one way or the other about ATI Vs nVidia... AMD however I'm a HUGE fanboy of. I'll keep buying them hopefully for a long time, if they don't go out of business. That said, I've always bought ATi/AMD video cards.

[@OneTrueNobody]

+Silkfox Can't say I'm immersed deep enough in PC gaming community stuff to make any judgment calls about that, but simply being a PC gamer doesn't mean one truly understands the intricacies of PC gaming hardware: it's easy enough to find out what parts to get and how to install them than to learn about what the parts actually do or why this company is limited in this way and another isn't. PC gaming is on the rise, but that also means it isn't the domain of people who know their stuff anymore--the same dilemma that occurs when a previously "niche" franchise or nerd culture market finds mainstream appeal, sort of. In the past, consoles were marketed more towards kids while PC gaming was a more dedicated adult crowd. Console gamers have gotten older and diversified their tastes, but PC gamers have invited a more diverse market in as their library has absorbed much of what used to make the console market unique compared to PC.

It's true - Nvidia makes some amazing hardware and they offer great features. I generally prefer Nvidia cards because they perform to my needs and have functions I want - but goddamnit, their obstructionist attitude to competition and anti-consumer tendencies sour the whole thing... It almost gives me that nasty Apple sort of vibe but in a different way. It is incredibly shitty that genuinely good tech can't realistically be used to it's full extent just because Nvidia would rather nobody have the cookie rather than to have to share it. The last insult in the way of anticonsumerism was the slap in the face that was FORCED registration in order to use geforce experience (and thus shadowplay functionality most importantly). There is NO technical reason whatsoever that you actually should need to register yourself with an online account in order to use the features of that software. In fact, previous versions did all the same things without this requirement - but now it's mandatory to register (and get tracked and mined for data) if you actually want to use core functionality of the hardware you just bought. FUCK THAT. Imagine if you needed to register with Intel to use your CPU properly, register with MSI to get your motherboard functions to work and register with corsair for your mouse and keyboard to have all their buttons working. Un-fucking-acceptable!

Nvidia knows if they work on it they can make old customers just a bit more glad. But no exclusivity to push force users to buy the new lineup and be forced to compete against miners to skyrocket the demand and prices. Also Good job AMD. Didn't had the resources for AI technology to respond to Nvidia. But in 2 years they turned it around yet again with FSR. With universal AI solution that even gave love to old Nvidia cards. While Nvidia is too busy scratching their balls while considering if they should put 3 or 4 zeroes to their new low end entry gpu models for 4000 series.

Eichelkoepper Well, firstly that's in GBP so that'll be $7459.85 USD. Secondly, I will not support blatantly despicable business practices.

[@Voidward]

Paranoid nonsense. I can't believe people seriously imply that Nvidia goes in and forces developers to tessellate random geometry to make AMD look bad, or cripples their own performance in order to make AMD look marginally worse. Developers are responsible for optimization, not Nvidia, and developers have full control of which Gameworks features they use or don't. It's optional middleware that they can choose not to use entirely. There is no boogey man. The main reason AMD releases everything opensource isn't because they're dogooders that want the best for gamers, it's because they're cloning features that Nvidia made first and AMD is playing catch up. The only way they can compete is by giving some incentive for developers, and opensourcing it is that incentive.

[@StandardsFtw]

+Stan V " it's because they're cloning features that Nvidia made first" This is patently untrue. Freesync and tressfx both existed far before G-sync and hairworks did, it's just that nvidia took those ideas, not necessarily "copied", and put more engineers and a bigger budget than AMD into them. That's not a bad thing, but to say AMD is copying Nvidia is factually incorrect.

[@Voidward]

Standards The concept for display syncing existed before, nobody implemented it as a real product before Nvidia. AMD didn't have any plans to make this into a real product before they actually had to compete with Nvidia. Hair physics also existed as various tech demos for the longest time. Yes, AMD got it into exactly one game before Nvidia did it. That's a point for them.

[@StandardsFtw]

Stan V " The concept for display syncing existed before" Yes, as the open standard of adaptive v-sync. "nobody implemented it as a real product before Nvidia" This is true, that nobody implemented it in an actual marketed *product*, yes, but AMD worked on freesync, which is what spurred Nvidia to create G-Sync. The same thing happened with Shadowplay. NVENC (the driver-level recording) was very much in response to what AMD had done with Raptr. Nvidia does these things because they have a much larger budget and many better engineers.

[@descent777]

+Standards "but AMD worked on freesync, which is what spurred Nvidia to create G-Sync" Everything I've read has said the opposite. Care to point me in the direction of your info?

[@Voidward]

descent777 From what I remember AMD had a patent for a similar technology from like 8 years ago that was somewhat implemented in eDP which they kind of just sat on. It was mainly for allowing laptops to not need to render frames over and over when idle rather than syncing with the GPU, but the core tech allowed for that capability. To some extent, the way Nvidia implemented Gsync with the FPGA board is possibly a way to circumvent that patent. If that was the case, then that's borderline anti-competitive patent trolling.

However, Nvidia has been quite charitable when it comes to supporting their old cards. They had never as far as I remember, intentionally gimped their old cards just because. It's just that they innovate fast, which makes old cards seemingly obsolete faster too. On that note, I also think the reason AMD is not a dick, is because they cannot afford to be one.

They are actually very mum on marketing to players. The cards speak for themselves. Comparatively, top of the line AMD cards are almost just as expensive but not nearly as performing. The middle of the road AMD cards are cheaper, but are proportionately also not as performing. They best is in the low end, where they are actually cheaper for what you get. Remember, as this video showed, AMD cards can't actually perform as well as they seem like they should on paper.

The part where he said shadowplay takes very little performance isn't quite true for me :( It takes up to believe it or not 30% GPU performance while in standby, no recording..... GREAT

[@zacharyy7803]

[@napornik]

Autistic Weeaboo Lolicon Windows has everyone writing software for it because in the beginning it was open (not open source) and Apple was very "proprietary" and so Windows ended up with 80% of the "new software" pie. If Apple did the same back in the 80s, there would be no Windows cuz Windows was and still is shit.

[@Dennell_Mount_and_Blade]

And this is why I will always buy an amd ( or ati if you got an older/ old school gpu) graphics card. Nvidia might be better, but I don't want to support a company like that. Trust me, if AMD is gone, all you people who benefit from Nvidia now, will cry about their lack of innovation, caring about the needs and wants of customers and their prices in a monopoly market. AMD is the good guy stopping Nvidia from destroying the GPU market.

[@mormantu8561]

Yes but a lot of people can't afford a high cost gpu. So they want the best as possible for the lowest price. And tada there is Nvidia...

[@Dennell_Mount_and_Blade]

Unless this is what you were trying to say, It's the other way around. AMD has been the one producing great value gpu's. Fair enough, the gtx 1060 is a strong competitor of the rx480, altough again they are a bit greedy with their VRAM, even the rx470 has a 8gb version. Amd cpu's are affordable too, but in no way competitive with intel at the moment. I hope with Zen everything is going to improve, and I believe it will. At the moment there is no strong competitor of the gtx 1070/1080, but the rx 490 is coming + new vega, and in the future navi.

[@mormantu8561]

I meant that yes amd is cheaper but on like quality/price nvidia is better

[@Dennell_Mount_and_Blade]

At dx11, wich dominates the gaming market right now, the gtx 1060 is better. I didn't say the gtx 1060 was the better card btw, but that it was a strong competitor. Nvidia has the best high end gpu's, hands down. Just like intel has the best cpu's at the moment, hands down. But the rx 480 changes up the game by releasing a card that's capable of delivering 200 dollar with the same performance of 300/400 dollar cards of the previous generation. But if you take a look at the pascals, titans, 1070's, 1080's, amd is just always one step behind nvidia. One day that might change, but if you look how much money nvidia made, their market share, the declining PC market, their R&D budget, I don't think AMD is going to be able to catch up. The cpu market is a completely different story, and to be fair, this is where the real battle is going to be fought, and that's why Zen is long time overdue. Again about the rx480, at the moment prices are a little high, but in time I'm sure it will be brought down closer to 200 dollar. Crossfire, meh, I admit that it's a dick move from nvidia not to release SLI support, but crossfire is very ineffective because scaling is a tricky thing, altough it might get better with dx12, we will see. In any case, it's always better to buy a higher end card instead of crossfire/sli. Like I said, at the moment there is no real competitor of the gtx 1070/1080, The fury uses too much power +4gb ram, but with the rx490 and vega cards coming I'm sure that will change. The rx490 will have 16gb of VRAM I believe, so much better then the gtx1070 and gtx1080 8gb, wich forces their customers to buy higher end gpu's with more VRAM. And the dude above me is obviously wrong lol. Dollar per fps, AMD/ati has always delivered the better results.

[@justmarije]

[@jake3523]

so nvidia is in that sense exactly like apple.

[@LoftySkinner]

They do that though. AMD have always allowed cross-vendor multi GPU, Nvidia doesn't. So AMD wouldn't mind if you had both an Nvidia card and an AMD card in your PC. But Nvidia immediately disables their card if they detect an AMD GPU running on the system.

[@violencia6164]

Right, which is why they'll add features that hurt everyone"s performance, as long as it hurts the competitors more, right?

[@thegoldencaulk2742]

This reminds me of the thing that happened decades ago with revolver designs. Smith & Wesson bought the patent to be able to bore completely through the cylinder, meaning that everyone else either tried it and got lawyer-ed into oblivion, or had to make some shitty alternative designs to try and compete. This copyright nearly destroyed the revolver market because it meant that not only could S&W use the best method exclusively, but that also meant that less companies could tinker and potentially improve upon it (equating to hampered competition, which we all know is bad for the consumer) This is sort of like that, although Nvidia doesn't have as much of an iron grip (and still is causing plenty issue)

[@Tudorgeable]

From the video I got the impression that nVidia wants to stay at the top by keeping better hard/software to themselves while AMD not only doesn't develop a equal counterpart, but also gives out their know how to everyone. That's not how you bussiness

[@sulphurous2656]

The worst problem is with CUDA. Anyone looking to buy a GPU can just say "no CUDA/NVENC/PhysX/OptiX/whatever, no buy" and go with NVIDIA. The fundamental problem of a non-NVIDIA GPU not having proprietary NVIDIA technology is one of the biggest reasons why AMD has fallen out in mind share, I imagine.

Shadowplay is actually one of the worst technologies I've ever encountered. I have a pretty powerful PC for this day (i7 7700, 1060 6 Gb, 32 Gigs or RAM), and at times, some of the background processes SP runs hog up to 30% of GPU power *WHEN I'M NOT USING SHADOWPLAY AT ALL* . Had to uninstall that piece of crap eventually.

[@stankfanger1366]

Derheight Competition is just that, competing. You compete to win. If a kid stands in right field staring at the cricket in the grass and the baseball goes over his head while he picks his nose, he shouldn't get a trophy. Business isn't about being nice to your competitors, and it isn't done by coddling the weak. If AMD can't compete in the market by coming up with a better plan, then they need to go away and get replaced with someone who can compete.

[@MrAzmore]

ive seen a lot of people so far saying they dont see the problem with AMD bankrupting and nvidia keeping their stuff for them selves and playing unfair games. well lets see at this past year, after AMD released their 390 which were cheaper and better performing than the 970 so people complained of the 970's prices, so nvidia dropped the prices of their 970's. If AMD goes bankrupt and cant release new cards, we will be stuck with an overpriced monopole of a graphics card which will be nvidia. And also if intel beats AMD on the processor game, buying a computer will suddenly become a much much bigger hole in your wallet than before.

[@MrAzmore]

***** indeed, well at least some1 can see the bigger picture here x'D

[@TragicMaster]

Better performing? By a few fps maybe thats right, by using twice as much power on the other hand. I got a R9 390 here right next to me which im going to send back tomorrow, my PSU couldnt handle it. Of course its my fault and i just need to buy a new PSU for sure, but now i own a 970 which works fine for me. But i agree, we need both companys on the marked and they need to have a competition, if Nvidia wins all gamers will lose

[@kewlbns69]

+themanafreak if AMD goes out of business it'll be their fault. business is competitive. IBM got out of the consumer PC market years ago because microsoft was seriously kicking their asses. i wonder if anyone here is old enough to remember OS/2...then again not many that are still do.

[@CharcharoExplorer]

+TragicMaster It does not use twice as much power... that is BS. Also, serves you right for cheaping out on the PSU. That is the one thing you NEVER skimp on. A 500W one will do fine with the R9 390... if you use less than that, do not OC your 970 as it will use a LOT of power when OCed...

[@felixdesrochers9940]

for recording, amd gaming evolved (raptr) has some nice recording options altough i never used it

[@Enriath]

+Felix Desrochers The problem with Raptr is that it's bloatware. It's a bundled social network thing. It's also not very RAM efficient, and even the recording features are bad. AMD made a bad call collabing with Raptr on Gaming Evolved, which really saddens me. It might have gotten better since its release, but I haven't used it since since I recall it being a bitch to remove from my computer properly.

[@DerKillerhai]

+Felix Desrochers i tried to use the raptr campture feature half a year ago until i upgraded to nvidia. The raptr thing never worked good. it made my game lag. the videos were buggy (graphic bugs and stuttering everywhere) and the videos were huge. I thought shadowplay would be the same but it is nearly perfect. no sound/graphic bugs, easy to set up and nearly no performance issues. I definitly like shadowplay way more than the raptr thing.

[@ViktoriuSWE]

+2kliksphilip have you tried the solution thats included in MSI Afterburner? It has a tool similar to shadowplay, and also has more options (choosing codecs for example)

[@HarryTurney]

+Felix Desrochers sadly raptr is a load of shit :(

[@GuihKx]

Wow... I don't know what you guys are talking about. Yeah, AMD Gaming Evolved isn't perfect, but it works pretty well. Most of the gameplays I have on my channel I've used AMD Gaming Evolved to record them at 50Mbps @60fps. It indeed needs improving, but it's very usable at the moment.

[@MegaMarcin98]

[@aleksisakkinen506]

Creepy Lil' Llama Rx Vega coming

[@saundis]

Meanwhile in the near future...

[@The_Grox]

RX VEGA ?

[@Joe_Rebel]

Yeah, Vega KILLS any nvidea product out there as of now. Though nvidea buys out all the major game devs that will sell out. They put tech in games that will purposely make AMD cards run worse in those titles. Simply because it is impossible for AMD to optimize their hardware for the nvidea exclusive features, they run worse only when those features are in the game in question. What I find funny is how the nvidea fanboys refuse to accept the fact that when it comes to non-game related GPU programs, VEGA is always in the lead. Sometimes by twice as much as the titan xp.

[@xSolarPhantomx]

The vega 64 is better in some aspects compared to the 1080, but the 1080 still runs about 1-2% better and surprisingly is over $100 cheaper than the vega. So the vega, currently is not worth the buy. The 1080TI destroys the vega. But that is because well, its Nvidias flagship and we all know how overboard Nvidia goes to gain that edge. I do hope for a day when AMD cards are dead equal to Nvidia because I FUCKING HATE THE GOD DAMN PRICE OF NVIDIA CARDS..... I also wish for a day when AMD and Intel are equal on the playing field too. This one i can see happening in a couple years though with how well the ryzen is doing, but on their graphics front, they are not doing as well as they could be.

[@kevingarzonromero9770]

I love AMD, they even give support to their oldest products, and many new drivers work well on old hardware.

[@MunyuShizumi]

Try running any Linux distro with ATI/AMD, then talk about drivers working if you manage to get a tear-free desktop within 2 weeks without being able to cook dinner using the GPU heatsink. And that's in the open source ecosystem that AMD allegedly worships.

[@MunyuShizumi]

@DeadLink 404 I can essentially say the same thing about ATI/AMD drivers affecting 6-7 computers I've worked on. Open source had terrible performance and overheated, proprietary had a bunch of feature and compatibility issues (and its performance outright sucked compared to the Windows driver). At the same time, Nvidia was running the same codebase for Windows and Linux, had the same or better performance on Linux, and for the most part worked out of the box (most of the issues were related to Bumblebee and such). Even if AMD did change some things later on, we had already endured a decade of ATI/AMD cards essentially being paperweights on Linux.

[@burnttoast111]

+Derively Intel is catching up, too. Onboard video is not atrocious like it used to be. For a non-gaming machine, it can be fine.

[@Zarrx]

+prettylittleditty89 keeping your technology going into the cards open source does not make it collaboration. If AMD and Nvidia collaborated it would be on the design of the chip, the pcb, the cooler, etc. Not on software used by the chips them selves. Releasing the software makes an even playing field proving who truly has the better chip. When the software is closed source a card from either company can perform better or worse even with the same specs.

[@burnttoast111]

***** "New" dirty level? Since when is closed source / proprietary software "new"? Do you know the trend in software is moving towards open-source, and not away from it?

[@hackerulroman]

Youre hilarious man :)))

[@Katana314]

It's a good thing tech nerds are generally such a fan of open standards over shotgun-strategy technologies, which is why Internet Explorer 11 was completely competitive against Chrome. Huh? Oh, wait... A bit of history. I am one of those people who gave IE11 an extensive chance. It's important to note, I'm a web developer, so my viewpoint comes from the tech side, not just the end result. Basically, whenever I found IE11 broke with some new web technology, I would go "Stupid Microsoft!" and then look it up, only to find a blog post from Microsoft saying "X feature was badly designed before standardization - we're proposing an open standard that solves its issues, and it's actually likely going to be accepted." But websites tended to develop for specific browsers to "give the best experience", and so a lot of websites kind of shuffle their feet nervously if you're not using an iPhone, or Chrome. It's usually not because IE11 doesn't support their features, but because many of them were still writing "IF userAgent contains IE then..." code that actually made everything worse. In the present situation, both Edge and Opera now have to pretend to be Chrome in their "user Agent" to avoid getting shut out entirely. The takeaway from the browser war of the past few years is that the winner couldn't get there by waiting for standardization. In this allegory, Google / NVidia don't have to wait for anyone to say that a particular feature is okay or makes sense, or even bawk at how sloppy their initial code interface is (Making 400 "game profiles" inside your graphics driver is not particularly good design). The end result is just that "it works". (Another thing to keep in mind; it's easier to license the use of outside technologies if you don't plan to open-source your project.) It's also worth noting that it's not necessarily "Gameworks makes games look bad on AMD". It really could be as simple as "Development studios often CAN'T make those features at all, and with Gameworks they can - although the optimization is only on one end." I'll admit, AMD doesn't have the manpower or budget to provide a similar service, and thus developers aren't as open to support them. That's kind of disappointing. But, ultimately it's not NVidia's unfairness; it's a basic consequence of the circumstance. I've bought only NVidia cards, but I at least hope for AMD to catch up with DirectX 12. I am very much aware of the horrors of a one-horse race - I just worry NVidia gets a disproportionate amount of the blame.

[@Katana314]

+Katana (Sorry, just recalled another point!) As with IE11, it actually made a lot of sense for IE to be super-standardized, as opposed to Chrome's strategy of loading up the kitchen sink. If they had gone on another ActiveX tirade, developers would quite quickly look at the two browsers - one used by everyone, and one used by none, and specifically use the features of the popular one, leaving any IE11-specific technologies to sit in the dust. It made sense to go for technologies that could be shared, that are viewed as "cross-platform", because then a developer can look at the options and at least think "Hey, by aiming for the standardized technologies, we can hit both platforms". It's worth noting that after Microsoft lost a lot of ground on technology, they started making a lot of their products open-source, as an ultimately effective measure to win developers back who needed to make technologies work everywhere. So, don't view AMD's open-source gestures as just them being "nice" or "good for the whole graphics industry". It's a very logical business move, since due to their recent unpopularity, they could never convince anyone to tightly integrate "AMDworks" into their game.

[@Biskawow]

+Katana you use the word allegory, but I don't think it means what you think it means. I want to point out how Battlefront looks and how Fallout 4 looks, AMD games are prettier and run fine on both techs, so I don't see the problem here. Since you know all this crap, it makes me wonder why you chose nvidia gpu? At first when I wanted new graphics card, I just checked the one that has most sales (960) but was very disappointed with its performance, so I kept digging and ended up getting r9 390. It just offers more performance for less cash. It isn't hard to find best performance for $$ so I don't get why is nvidia selling so many cards, it confuses me.

[@Katana314]

You're right, I may have been trying to think of another word and picked out the wrong one. I actually recognize that in raw numbers, AMD cards usually give great bang for buck, but there were a mountain of individual "crashes on AMD", "poor performance on AMD", "stupid AMD drivers" posts that eventually made me think that I'd get a more reliable performance baseline with NVidia and their drivers, no matter what the actual numbers are. So far, I feel like I've been mostly right. Another deciding aspect for me was how Nvidia develops supporting technologies like ShadowPlay (always worked better for me than AMD's recorder), GameStream, and PhysX. Again, you might hate that they don't open those up, but it's an investment and they want to make the most of it. And, AMD wants to make the most of similar technologies by encouraging people to use cross-platform, open-source software, thus equalizing the playing field. Sadly, like Microsoft Office vs LibreOffice, sometimes the proprietary technologies are just more reliable.

[@Biskawow]

Katana that driver thing is a myth. I looked at performance of 290x benchmarks and compare them to performance of 390x benchmarks. 390 is basically like 290 with more vram, and it seems AMD performance is increased with age due to drivers. I have gtx 660 atm (waiting for 390 to upgrade) and my display drivers shut down every now and then since gameready drivers came, they are crappy. Plus check out the nvidia forums of people complaining how their old cards are not working up to their full potential, they have trouble for same reason AMD cards have in new games - gameworks. That is why I didn't get 970. Pricier, riskier, shorter life span, they lied about vram - only good thing about it was the power consumption, but I can live with a little extra power consumed on full load. Adds up to a buck a month or something silly like that.

[@ABaumstumpf]

+Mario D. Zmaj Of course old Nvidia cards will have trouble with gameworks - as that is heavily designed to fit the new architecture - that is quite a bit more focused on shaders and tesselation. The difference between nvidia an AMD is quite simple - Nvidia talks and cooperates with game-devs. They sent out their own teams to help gamedevs incorporate GameWorks as on their own they would not be able to make anything nearly as good. It takes a lot of work to get a decent hair-simulation up and running, more than the devs would have the time or budget for. This is where Nvidia shines. Yeah, AMD cards have the better raw power in many fields - and nvidia makes up for that with better drivers and support. Leading to their cards givving an overall better impression and performance for the same money.

[@TheSpecialJ11]
