Doesn't give off the impression of being super open when you have samples say they are only for Radeon cards. This seems almost like a marketing strategy/guise

Doesn't give off the impression of being super open when you have samples say they are only for Radeon cards. This seems almost like a marketing strategy/guise from AMD, and if you go look at other websites for this article it literally says AMD launches GPUopen.com. AMD is only mentioned once in the article.. shady in my opinion and not very 'open' either.
When one company continually calls out for 'openness' in a marketplace over time I think people get annoyed at it, I know I do. AMD, you're nearing the point where people are just going to scoff at you and take it as whining. You can't say you want openness then build your tools specifically for your own hardware without looking like an ass. Furthermore, 3/4ths of the sample are for DX only. How open is DX again?
- sliverstorm 11y agoIt doesn't seem all that clandestine. The snippet at the bottom about the author: Nicolas Thibieroz is the Senior Manager of Worldwide Gaming Engineering at AMD... From the middle of the article: GPUOpen marks the beginning of a new philosophy at AMD.
- Sleaker 11y agoAhh I was misinterpreting the 3rd party affiliate links where they say they aren't responsible for any content on them.
- poopchute 11y agoDid you even read the post? The whole thing talks about how this is AMD's new version of mantle which is specifically for gcn cards. It even says who its written by at the bottom, the senior manager of engineering at AMD.
- Sleaker 11y agoNo it doesn't. It puts out that it's making something called gpuopen, which right now is just a brand page with a bunch of fluff and nothing more with links to resources that are already available on AMDs website, but with nearly all of the AMD branding removed.
