Applaud, great news!

Ultimately, the market decides, rightly or wrongly.

So what's your plan? What's your constructive criticism? Constructive criticism Nvidia: I would like to see the game work features more open, like they did with CPU physx, to improve adoption. Constructive criticism Amd: I would like to see them innovate more and improve the...

They offer sweet features in a unideal multi-platform world.They may not be the sweetest or ideal, but some don't allow idealism to be the enemy of good.

Since when is having more choices a bad thing? I can simply turn the feature off, problem solved.

I surely didn't make the decision to outsource a third party cooler and sell it as innovation, vocal advocates and AMD did.

I never understood the vocal advocates for a reference water cool design especially a third party design to boot. Spinning this as innovation and moving forward. This isn't surprising from asetech.

If anything, Scott's testing changed the way sites investigated the performance. It was welcomed, needed, and pushed testing evaluations forward. I like what I'm seeing from AMD, going beyond just numbers and concentrating on a quality experience to go along with world class performance.

Nvidia has to make GFE easy to use, convenient to use, and continue to innovate features to bring value to GFE. If Nvidia does these facets, then the gamer may not mind the hassle of giving an email address. Time will tell how GFE evolves.

It's already happened. There is a premium built-in when purchasing a Nvidia product. The reason why Nvidia invests in the software and features is the market may reward them with more premiums and higher margins, imho.

I realize this may be semantics, but the market already tolerates it by paying more for the Nvidia brand name which is a combination of hardware and software, the Nvidia ecosystem. The investments in software have helped their overall margins.

One may have to offer some serious, compelling reasons to charge even more for drivers and abilities than there is. Gamers are already paying more of a premium now, over-all, for the nVidia ecosystem and nVidia is enjoying record revenue.

Ease of use, defined as making it easier to improve the experience for their customers. Value, defined as to continue to innovate and offer features that improve the experience. If Nvidia continues to build upon these two facets, people may not mind giving up an email address to have the...

Pretty simple -- ease of use and value.
