The war of words between Nvidia and AMD is getting nasty.
In a Kotaku feature examining the ongoing tensions between the two firms, an Nvidia rep stated: If AMD spent as much time working on their drivers and actually making investments in gaming than they did talking about us, then maybe their customers would not be stuck with sub-par gaming experiences in today’s cutting-edge titles."
The war cry comes as AMD has released a list of games that it claims to have entered into development partnerships with including Battlefield: Hardline, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Civilization: Beyond Earth and Star Citizen.
Nvidia’s reply? It reckons it would be impossible for us to maintain a current list” of its GameWorks partnered titles as it’s such a far-reaching program.
Meow.
AMD’s Robert Hallock last month said that: Gameworks represents a clear and present threat to gamers by deliberately crippling performance on AMD products (40 per cent of the market) to widen the margin in favour of Nvidia products.”
These claims were recently re-asserted by AMD’s Richard Huddy in a MaximumPC podcast.
