I have to wonder then, when is it "ok" for Nvidia to partner up with any other dev?. I wasn't a big fan of that Nvidia partnership program from a few weeks back, but I do however like my HBAO+ and other tech that they've tossed out over the past few years. We see console exclusives implementing tech that remains exclusive to their system/platform over the years. I don't see why the same cannot be done for PC. |
HBAO+ is inferior (quality) to VXAO, and real-time ray tracing.
Personally:
I am fine with developers adding Gameworks features, if they are added features, and can be run on AMD GPUs.
As long as it is an added feature, and the addition of that feature doesn't take resources or performance away from Intel or AMD GPUs: it is okay.
I do have an issue with one company or body exclusively partnering with a development studio for a game project.
AMD, Intel and Nvidia (and anyone else) should all be working with the developer, all adding their own features to the title.
