An
article on Forbes quotes AMD's Robert Hallock on
NVIDIA's GameWorks program, saying this "represents a
clear and present threat to gamers by deliberately crippling performance on AMD
products to widen the margin in favor of NVIDIA products." He goes on to explain
the program "precludes the developer from accepting AMD suggestions that would
improve performance directly in the game code," while of course allow easier
optimization for NVIDIA graphics cards, and says AMD is not allowed to use
source code from these games to develop drivers.
VG247 notes a response from NVIDIA has already appeared, as
a series of
tweets from John McDonald strongly refutes these contentions (though these
are personal reactions, rather than any sort of official statement on the
topic). Here they are strung together: "It is extremely frustrating to see an
article criticizing work you did at a former employer and not being able to
comment that the person who you are quoting from was just completely full of
unsubstantiated bullshit. And while I never did, and certainly do not now, speak
for nvidia, let me say that in the six years I was in devtech I *never*, not a
single time, asked a developer to deny title access to AMD or to remove things
that were beneficial to AMD."
