I really enjoy the way AMD and Nvidia fight.
Nvidia makes GSync. So the GPU can control and adjust display refresh rate on the fly. Proprietary, closed source, requires private Nvidia License. AMD makes FreeSync. FreeSync open sourced, added to the HDMI, and Display Port standards.
Now we see Nvidia makes NvLink. Proprietary, very fast, requires private Nvidia license. AMD partners with IBM, Google, etc., etc. to make OpenCAPI an open standard that can revise/replace PCIe3.0
Why does this feel like Microsoft vs Linux but with Hardware Standards.
