The article isn’t there anymore… it was removed.Have you already forgotten the Geforce Partner Program (GPP)? I couldn't link the OG HardOCP article because I couldn't find it.
Bennett summarizes the opinions as follows:
- The terms of the GPP agreement are potentially illegal
- The GPP will hurt consumer choices
- The GPP will hurt a partner's ability to do business with other companies like AMD and Intel
But no I hadn’t, GPP was a shitty marketing ploy, it was anti AMD for sure, and would have squeezed AMD out it was a play by play of the old dealership contracts which were used to spur competition, but that ultimately only works on a level playing field. AMD doesn’t have the resources to compete on that front. Had they implemented it, they would have gotten sued for sure.
