It absolutely does ... There's nothing stopping AMD from from making hardware that beats their competitors performance in it's own packaged software like Gameworks but even discounting GameWorks featured titles, AMD still get's beaten in their own ISV partnered titles like Wolfenstein 2 and Far Cry 5 recently ... It's also not true that AMD specific optimizations doesn't affect Nvidia hardware, both of their hardware designs are comparatively asymmetric so a game developed with AMD in mind will have code hostile to Nvidia ... |
When you have Nvidia doing things like their GPP that actually limits the availability of AMD products, I'd say their is something limiting their ability to produce better hardware. Development costs money. You need to be able to sell your product gain the capital to develop new products. Intel and AMD collaborated on the Kaby Lake-G. It features an Intel based CPU combined with Vega based GPU. It is a great option for gaming laptops. It was supposed to be in several lines by now like MSI and Asus's laptops. It's not though. You know why? Asus and MSI signed up for the GPP. So they can't put the chip in their ROG and Gaming X laptops. Nvidia has 80% of the market. They are using that fact to bully their partners into making their gaming lines Nvidia exclusive. I'm sure they'll eventually get a fined for their GPP shenanigans. By then the damage will be done and the fine will be more than worth it. It's what Intel did to AMD when the Athlon line launched and after a over a decade they just got fined for it.
