Are AMD Cards Going To Be Well Optlimzed For TW3?
Before, I ask this question or present my opinions, I would like to say that this thread was not created to start a flame war between Nvidia or AMD users. I also apologize if this question has been brought up in the past in these forums. I want to bring up this question because the TW3 was delayed due to optimization and I would like to know what is CDPR's opinion on this. Firstly, I would like to say that CDPR has contributed a great deal in making PC gaming (and gaming in general) a better experience for all, as they strongly advocate a DRM free system for video games.
However, I would like to talk about their support for Nvidia GameWorks, as there have been acquisitions by AMD's Robert Hallock that GameWorks "is a clear and present threat" to Radeon Cards as it blocks AMD from optimizing games that use GameWorks such as TW3 (Plunkett, 2014). Therefore, it has been said that "Radeon users are essentially simply robbed of performance, while said games run just as good with or without Gameworks for Nvidia users. In other words, Gameworks allegedly only exists to artificially inhibit performance on AMD hardware" (Dlux, 2014).
I wanted to know that if this is also true in the case of TW3, because I want to know that if this game will look just as amazing as it would if I had an Nivdia Card. I also want to know why is CDPR supporting a closed SDK system like GameWorks. Furthermore, thanks to community and CDPR for reading my tread. Once again, I apologize if a similar tread like this was created.
