Nice, I love reverse engineering posts.
You'd think Nvidia would want people to actually be able to use their hardware.
Why try to hide the API and fight a battle with the only people you should be helping, your customers?

- brokenmachine 10y agoYeah, you're probably right. I wonder how much value the bean counters at Nvidia attributed to "having a useful software ecosystem" when weighed up against "shortsighted moneygrab for licensing dollars". I'm guessing not much.
