I heard many stuff,

"NVIDIA is beter than AMD", "NVIDIA deliberately cripples AMD",

Was thinking what you guys think about this? How many of us actually want these special optimizations by our beloved manufacturers?

Firstly, we need to learn how to use the word otimized:

 

optimize
ˈɒptɪmʌɪz/
verb
past tense: optimized; past participle: optimized
  1. make the best or most effective use of (a situation or resource).
    "we manage our time so that we optimize our productivity"
    • COMPUTING
      rearrange or rewrite (data, software, etc.) to improve efficiency of retrieval or processing.

       

       

Conclusion: If it doesn't run with your sh*tty GPU or PC, does not mean that the game is not optimized, period. My words is that it should be optimized for 2014/2015 COMPUTERS, not 2010 ones.

Plenty of months to beat that still :p

Nvidia owners will vote for Nvidia optimization and AMD owners will vote for AMD optimization. What is this poll supposed to prove, exactly?

Cool story bro, we all know people instantly become fanboys when they buy a graphics card.

It's not about being a fanboy or not. If you own an AMD card wouldn't you want GTA V to be optimized for it? And if it were indeed optimized for AMD, would you give a damn that it's not optimized for Nvidia? No, you would not.

 

Obviously, the right thing to do would be to optimize the game for both Nvidia and AMD (and Intel HD... nah just kidding) but when have corporations ever done the right thing? Rockstar in particular?

A game that is optimized for Nvidia is always optimized for AMD and vice versa.

Maybe an "Nvidia Optimized" game will perform MARGINALLY better on Nvidia GPUs, but nothing you'd notice. If an Nvidia card gets 70FPS, MAYBE its AMD equivalent will get 67FPS.
Same case with AMD, games that are "AMD Optimized" peform only marginally better, nothing you'd even notice. For example Battlefield 4, games advertised as an AMD optimized game but the difference between performance on Nvidia and AMD cards are marginal.

Nvidia or AMD optimized are merely marketing, nothing else and it means absolutely nothing for performance.

P.S. There has been no single game that performed great on one company's GPU but horrible on another company's GPU.
If a game is well optimized, it's well optimized for both company's GPUs.

Do you honestly think publishers and developers would punish gamers who own AMD GPUs but reward people with Nvidia GPUs... LOL.

Performed well on Nvidia cards, ran like ass on AMD cards.

As someone with an Nvidia card (gtx770) I honestly hope its optimized for AMD. Anything optimized for Nvidia in the past few years have been complete crap. When i find out a game is optimized for Nvidia its gotten to the point I internally cringe. AMD on the other hand if a game is optimized for there cards (not mentioning mantle) it generally runs fine on my card as well.

Mantle is open source.... nVidia could employ it freely in their cards and since that is used as standard in the console, making decent ports and transfers even easier, I think they're missing the point not translating it into nVidia drivers. They could still emply their own Gameworks drivers alongside and let the GPU user decide what drivers they want to emply.

 

I still say they are making a mistake ignoring Mantle's potential. If a few games get decent Mantle support, later this year when the RX 300's arrive, nVidia could be looking at being soundly forced into 2nd place in performance terms.

 

That might actually wake them up!

Just cause 2 is optimized for nvidia and runs max settings 8x msaa 900p 60 fps for me.

Compared to AMD's cards, Nvidia's cards ran Watchdogs well. It's a simple concept that even you should be able to understand :p

 

Better =/= good. It's a simple concept that even you shoul... No, I guess not. I'd be overestimating your mental capacity if I expected you to understand anything resembling simple logic in the slightest :p

The utter reality of it all is that in most cases, in the staggering majority of instances the question "amd or nvidia?" comes up, gamers are not even supposed to be part of the discussion.

 

If you are just using your computer for surfing the web and playing games, you don't really need an nvidia card. It isn't helping you much. The AMD brand is cheaper because it excels at gaming and general usage of your PC and is just fine in comparison to nvidia and intel products.

 

The nvidia brand excels at productivity. 3D modeling, photoshop, video editing - this is what you choose nvidia for. Nvidia and intel are the productivity parts.

 

If you are only gaming, you're better off with an AMD solution you can upgrade more often for cheaper. If you are video editing or doing graphics outside of games, AMD simply will not cut it for any serious work with serious software.

 

edit: Exceptions to this include:

 

1: When it is the developer's fault

 

2: When one or the other pays/funds a developer so that one of their unique technologies is used.

 

The fact that AMD is used in both consoles this generation just makes AMD that much more secure a purchase for gamers because the days of a port are over and it's more and more like consoles are just a tweaked pc version on consoles (but still not good if your focus is productivity and creation rather than just digital internet consumption and gaming)

Hm, have to disagree there, AMD user here, I do all of those (although I do use Intel, only my card is AMD) and it's as good as possible, videos get rendered really fast, compiling 3D content also does.

nVidia - The way it's meant to be played (true words)

 

AMD sucks (in my opinion). Period.

Yeah right

I said it's MY OPINION. You cannot change it.

 

Also, everybody does mistakes, including nVidia engineers.
