Now, let's not start saying things that are false, shall we?
It is Ubisoft who has decided to use some piece of software from Nvidia to code their game knowing that it would cause problems to AMD card users, and instead of finding alternatives they simply said that it was not their problem if they had "the wrong card".
Yes, Nvidia has created the software, and it's a software that does what it does, but it's the developers fault to decide to use it. Blame Ubisoft for the Watchdogs situation, not Nvidia.

No thanks, Nvidia is creating software ( Gameworks ) to cripple AMD Hardware because they cannot compete with AMD Head to Head. Reminds me of EA when they bought the NFL License to keep NFL 2K off the market and now they want to tell 2K to just bring it and thats exactly what 2K was doing back in 2005. Its BS and it does not belong in the gaming industry.

Please tell me you don't honestly think that, please.
If a game built on nvidia's gameworks platform performs better on nvidia cards that's simply down to optimization, theres nothing stopping AMD approaching these companies and offering their own assistance with optimization for AMD cards, and games by and large, gameworks or not are built with both AMD and Nvidia cards tested, what you are doing here is assuming and suggesting that nvidia purposely has game developers use code SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to gimp AMD based cards, when in actual fact, all theyre doing is providing the game developers with the tools to OPTIMIZE CODE FIOR NVIDIA CARDS, theres nothing malicious in doing this, unless you think providing a solid framework to make the most of your products to a third party is "wrong".
Theyre not exactly going to say "actually, heres code we can't logically have that will optimize AMD cards too" all they can do is help with THEIR OWN products.
Next you'll be telling me games optimized for AMD cards are a conspiracy too and clearly the work of evil AMD gimping nvidia cards. oh wait, you're not saying that because it doesnt suit your agenda.
Seriously, all we have here is AMD fanboys raging and donning the tin foil hats to cry conspiracy to make up for the fact that AMD drivers are just trash, I used to know a guy from the PSP modding scene (Skylark), at the time he worked at AMD designing graphics cards, and even he said the hardware was good but the drivers were utterly shit.
