That Nvidia lock, ouch. I'm not really a fan of using Nvidia Geforce Experience as it's honestly done nothing I consider useful or much needed, I know when to update my drivers and love to tweak my games myself and what Nvidia consider "optimal" in terms of their "tweaked settings" (it's not really tweaked just sliding everything to max) aren't really what's really optimal for my system, we can get bad and shitty ports (like AK for instance) and GE will insist what's best for me when really it'll just be worse and that's where the line is drawn for me.

Also while I have good download speed and no caps I do however have crap upload speed so Shadowplay is a complete no for me like every other streaming client or option so that's another reason why I'll never bother with GE.

I'm honestly just not comfortable with how they are so willing to force me to use something they feel is objectively best for me (at this point they may as well claim objectively because subjectivity goes out the window when there's no choice), with this and the 970 fiasco, fuck up and hiding bs with their AK involvement and their latest cards not 100% supporting DX 12 is really making me think on going with the other team when I next need to get a card which probably won't be for a while but I;m still going to consider it, we shouldn't be forced into using software we really don't want to use.

To be honest, none of Nvidia or AMD have full support for DX 12. But you can replace that with the Kepler fiasco during the launch of The Witcher 3.

At the end of the day, this is what happens when a company gets 80% of the marketshare.

Oh, well. I guess that's another thing to consider when deciding which card to get... if Nvidia doesn't rectify and scraps this idea, which still have plenty of time to do until December.
