This is what happens when there's no competition. Amd needs to do to the GPU market what they did to the CPU market with Ryzen.

What AMD needs to do is copy Nvidia's strategy by promoting their own style of vendor lock-in ... 

AMD realized this so that's why their trying to copy Nvidia's GameWorks program by getting games to use their proprietary driver extensions just like Nvidia is ... 

AMD got lucky with RyZen since CPU technology is coming to a limit so they can afford to make CPUs as good as Intel but the same can't be said for GPUs ... 

The problem with AMD is that they need the performance to back it up imo. Sure they can do proprietary stuff or not but it's not gonna matter if the performance just isn't there. Amd isn't exactly popular either for devs to pick them over Nvidia without some incentive.

Look at Vega, that shit came out a year later and it can barely compete with a 1080 while consuming a cray cray amount of power. Heck, the partner cards just got announced not too long ago and Volta is on the horizon. They need to find lightning in a bottle somewhere.

And while it's true that CPU tech is coming to a limit, I do think Intel being greedy also had something to do with it. I am sure if intel wanted it to, they could have released 6 or even 8 core versions of their cpus a while ago without requiring people to be in the HEDT platform but they stuck with quad core versions until Ryzen came along... Not saying that cpu coming to it's limit didn't help AMD cause it certainly did but I do think part of it was also intel being greedy too.
