I'm curious, off the top of your head, which games have the best scaling at 4k, and which have the worst?

I think the reason was AMD has the first run of memory modules secured over NVidia.

What is the time frame on the next generation? Isn't it in the distant future? Reports have indicated it's most likely Q3 or Q4 2016.

Let me first say, 4k is awesome. I love it. However, one 980ti leaves me right on the short side of what I consider acceptable frame rates. In most games I can set them to ultra, and then bump a few of the big performance hitting settings down, and I'm around 40-50fps, which I can live with...

So you're now saying the patch wrote itself? Can you program? I'd like to hire you.

Now you're irrationally assuming every single AMD user is going to boycott every developer that doesn't cater to their performance aspirations. That's absurd. If AMD is unable to pull out of their nosedive, they will eventually go out of business. Then what are you going to do? Quit gaming...

They didn't take shortcuts, your way down on the priority list. There will be no flood, lol. AMD users do not possess sufficient market share to affect any substantial change, and it's shrinking every day. You claim I'm hung up on nameplates, yet you feel compelled to force developers to...

Awesome, thanks! Now my WMP works. I figured it was trying to software decode.

It's also important to understand all of the complaining done by the AMD community hurts them in the long run. People (myself included) hear the constant complaints and problems by AMD users requesting special patches, fixes, waiting for patches before playing games etc. When it's time to...

The purpose of that statement was to explain the futility of that mindset.

That's been said for the last decade. Meanwhile AMD's market share shrinks further and further. It's because AMD users are not a priority, as evidenced by your own experiences. It's not about "learning to program." It's about having the time to optimize for a small minority of their...

For most developers the consoles are the priority, and the PC is secondary. Usually the visual improvements you see are disabled features on the console sacrificed to meet the frame rate target. If a few features have a decent visual impact, or it's highly requested, the project lead may...

While the Witcher uses some NVidia optimizations, it also SLI scales like total garbage (18% @ 4k). So it's pretty indiscriminate from a hardware manufacturer point of view. A minority utilizes SLI, it isn't priority.

I've worked as a modeler and artist for a few developers, and this is a pretty common sense approach I would think is self evident. It's not necessarily who has the best optimization and proprietary implementation, it's the consumer base that drives these kinds of things. It's not about "fair"...

That's what you see as an AMD customer, because that's how it directly affects you. What about from the perspective of a developer? Can they not prefer a particular manufacturer due to the ease of integration, or the visual impact of those 200 tessellation points?
