I think it's fair to point out that CDPR wants to make the absolute best game they can, in every way possible. When it comes to graphical fidelity, physics, and other additional features, Nvidia is the way to go. Nvidia also provides better support for studios and really works to make PC the superior platform in comparison to the console ports. I can't fault CDPR for trying to give PC gamers the best experience they can. As others have pointed out, just because you won't be able to take advantage of features such as HairWorks and PhysX does not mean the game will not have quality performance on an AMD GPU.
The two are mutually exclusive and do not impact the other. Even if you find that the top tier AMD card is only receiving the same performance as a quality Nvidia card of a lower caliber, then perhaps you should just consider switching to Nvidia in the future? Why refuse to buy a great game because it receives better performance on one brand over another? I find that silly and really doing yourself a disservice more than anything else. Either way, this is really being blown out of proportion and once the game is released people will move on and just enjoy the game, regardless of whether they have an Nvidia or AMD GPU.
