Nvidia: 'AMD customers stuck with sub-par gaming experiences'

The war of words between Nvidia and AMD is getting nasty.

In a Kotaku feature examining the ongoing tensions between the two firms, an Nvidia rep stated: “If AMD spent as much time working on their drivers and actually making investments in gaming than they did talking about us, then maybe their customers would not be stuck with sub-par gaming experiences in today's cutting-edge titles."

The war cry comes as AMD has released a list of games that it claims to have entered into development partnerships with including Battlefield: Hardline, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Civilization: Beyond Earth and Star Citizen.

Nvidia's reply? It reckons “it would be impossible for us to maintain a current list” of its GameWorks partnered titles as it's such a far-reaching program.

Meow.

AMD’s Robert Hallock last month said that: “Gameworks represents a clear and present threat to gamers by deliberately crippling performance on AMD products (40 per cent of the market) to widen the margin in favour of Nvidia products.”

I never had issue with drivers on my lowly R7 260x. I popped the graphics card in, loaded the drivers from the disc provided and haven't had any issue with my graphics card since then.



I've avoided AMD GPUs like the plague because of their subpar drivers. If you look at cross-platform benchmarks then (Windows, Mac, Linux), NVidia presents a mostly uniform performance while AMD reaches mixed results. Despite that, AMD CPUs are my favorite always.



i agree, watchdogs looks fantastic on nvidia. almost as good as on consoles..



Funny that they say that just the day after AMD launched their 14.6 RC 2 drivers.

And about subpar experiences... well, I prefer to pay (in some cases a lot) less money for a card that gives me the same performance bar some tricks like Physics, thanks.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

Same.

I'm starting to not like these guys much.



4 ≈ One

Well, it would be shocking if Nvidia would say "we want on average more money from our customers but provide still not more as AMD does"



Last I checked, the performance gap between Nvidia cards and AMD in Linux was unacceptably huge, so I have no choice but to stick with evil, evil Nvidia for now.



good experience with my 660 ti and 8350 8-core amd vischera cpu on a asus 990 sabertooth board.

I always had an issue with catalyst drivers when i would try ati/amd cards. its been years, i dont even know if they still use catalyst?

but i have never had an issue with any nvidia card and they have always ran well and for many years for me, like my amd cpus. intel does perform better overall but too overpriced.
