Well damn, nvidia could face irrelevancy if they don't start supporting this LOL.

nVIDIA will never face irrelevancy. AMD is making some good strides, but The Green Team's next moves will surely get things buzzing again. 

The green team also has other things to worry about such as tressfx and advanced lighting. If devs start implimenting these things left and right it will get real ugly.

I highly doubt there will be issues. Besides, TressFx works on their cards.

It works alright but how about the performance impacts ? Nvidia also has to worry about devs choosing light indexed deferred renderers instead of tiled deferred or regular deferred renderers. Just because all these effects can be ran on nvidia cards don't mean that it will run good. :)
