I am not sure I like this partnership thing.

What ever happened to devs just making games themselves. i would prefer games have no ties with AMD or Nvidia.

But Nvidia started this with TWIMTBP.

Seems this type of development is the way of the future.

Devs pushing the envelope often need help from the hardware people. I dont mind AMD partnerships because those games usually run better than the nvidia ones. This just means these games will make good use of dx12.

There is still space for corruption. AMD is a business so I won't put it pass them.
