A card with better compute is doing better in a game that uses compute?! Say it ain't so!

Do I need to demand proof from you? I know how much you love proof, but I don't want to embarrass you...
really? its all about the compute or the desing? hmm the divison and nfs uses a lot of compute i failed to see how this helped the card..... D:

fact is dx12 is favouring quite a bit every superscalar design out there and it goes down to this..choices..

But using your strengths to promote your product is unfair!

If AMD were paying developers to needlessly make their games in such a way as to favor compute-based solutions I would say it would be.

I don't know if that's the case, but I don't expect that it would be given that AMD lacks the money to pay for that kind of favoritism.

Doing things to make the game as you envisioned it, versus making things to tack onto a game and add the stuff that makes your hardware look the best. Totally the same there.

Honestly if Nvidia wants to add features to games and developers want to allow it i'm fine with it. I only have a problem with it when it is defaulted to on in comparisons or when it is integral to the game itself.

The funny thing is that most Nvidia owners cannot even use the features because of the high costs, it is almost as if the features are there for the purpose of defaulting to on for reviews...

It isn't NV tacking on the extra's, it's the artist.
