For a long time now, AMD has had to open source their competitors to Nvidia’s proprietary solutions. For example, DLSS vs FSR. This is because AMD is usually caught with their pants down by Nvidia features and have to try to make up ground with severely limited resources.
It helped that it made gamers love AMD more because they perceive open source as being better for the community. In actuality, AMD is not willing to spend the resources to fully compete with Nvidia and open source is their only way of hoping the ecosystem adopt their usually inferior solution.
- Dalewyn 3y agoI think gamers are starting to realize that AMD is not their friend (not to say Nvidia is, either). Both the 7900X3D and 7950X3D were laughed out of the room because AMD refused to provide proper tooling for asymmetric cores, unlike Intel with Intel Thread Director. As for their GPUs? Stories abound about how their drivers exhibit far more problems than Nvidia's; and it's usually up to the game devs to try and workaround it on their end. Last but not least, gamers very loudly do not appreciate AMD paying off games to be FSR exclusive because they can't compete with DLSS.
