Again choices are being taken away from gamers, you either have to go with Nvidia or have a bad gaming experience

RedDeadLB4371d ago

Absolutely no choices are being taken away from AMD users.

AMD optimizes games the same way Nvidia does and AMD has partnerships with developers as well. It's just Nvidia is better at their job than AMD. They optimize drivers faster, more regularly and offer additional solutions such as Physx.

You can't really blame Nvidia for anything because they are giving MORE to games, not taking away from them.

I recently switched from a HD7850 to a GTX 760 and the 760 is a much better product both in the software and hardware department, hands down.

TheMadCow4371d ago

I agree, but Ubisoft and AMD shouldn't just ignore their relationship if they aren't partners. After this, the gamers get crushed.

ChickeyCantor4371d ago (Edited 4371d ago )

My GTX 460 died so I got a MSI GTX 760 ( wanted the 770 but that was practically 100 bucks more T_T). It's so deliciously quiet.

And yes Nvidia does a good job with drivers.

@Themadcow
I don't think AMD users will have a worse experience compared to Nvidia users. There are just some tweaks here and there that make better use of Nvidia cards. This doesn't mean AMD users will suffer. In fact they probably wouldn't even notice anything.

Guwapo774371d ago

Yes I blame Nvidia - they were the first to start these partnerships. TWIMTBP project...

If Nvidia was pushing OpenCL or other hardware agnostic standards I'd agree with you, but they're not.

here's another take on this: I will ignore Ubi's games
vote with your wallets people, and stop pre-ordering
wait for the game to get released and see the the benchmarks before buying the game

I do not know the exact numbers, but AMD and nVidia GPU market share is quite close
UBi is fucking with a lot of people

DoctorJones4371d ago

Nvidia have around 65% of the pc market share. A bit more than half.

zme-ul4371d ago (Edited 4371d ago )

even so, 45% is not something to ignore

take for example Skyrim - it sold globally aprox 1.8mil units
45% of that is ~800k units; at 60$ (original) price, that's 48mil USD

DoctorJones4371d ago (Edited 4371d ago )

35% zme-ul, although yes it's not something to ignore. But to say the market share is close is far from true.

SilentNegotiator4371d ago

@zme-ul

That's 35%, but I still agree.

zme-ul4371d ago

*35%, sorry, my mistake
was doing some other shit on my laptop at the same time

zme-ul4370d ago

PS to my original comment:
one of most staggering facts that is ignored - both consoles run on ATi GPUs, but somehow UBi partners with nVidia for PC!? how? why?

the only reason is money, nVidia payed them; not performance, not graphical fidelity .. nothing of that - pure simple greed

TheMadCow4371d ago

This just means lower sales of the games. Why would AMD users buy it if they know it'll not work well?

ChickeyCantor4371d ago

You are under the assumption that it won't work well. No one claimed it won't work well.

Guwapo774371d ago

@ chickey - History has proven itself in the past. MadCow is correct.

farazfarooqui944371d ago

Uhg, Im starting to hate Ubisoft for this. I was really excited for the Division

palaeomerus4371d ago

Yeah well, on the shitpile with it. I'm not going to follow Ubi into stupidity.

Frisky4371d ago

Ubisoft and Nvidia partnering up is a good sign for PC gamers. I hope the upcoming Assassin's Creed title brings more optimizations for PC users rocking Nvidia cards.

Frisky4371d ago

Well AMD needs to straighten up somethings that it messed up pretty bad! Its Nvidia and Ubisoft so of course Gameworks will only favour those who rock N cards. For AMD users; I feel the pain bros.

ISHU4371d ago

That's why I use a Nvidia card myself!
IT GIVES YOU THE BEST EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!

Guwapo774371d ago

@ CODF - I've been an AMD supporter since their Thunderbird CPUs when you used a lead pencil to overclock them. I recently changed to the Nvidia camp because of these partnerships and programs. AMD/ATi offered the best bang for the buck and sometimes still do. But it means nothing if the games you play aren't optimized to run on your system. I got tired of seeing lesser nvidia systems crushing mine...

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio27d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing27d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit27d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing27d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
