GameWorks isn't the problem whatsoever, it's the fact that it's a port done wrong; as badly as it can be done. You probably can't even explain what GameWorks is without having to look it up. GameWorks runs just perfectly fine in all other current games I can think of which I am playing, and it...

970 owner here and I genuinely agree with nearly every point of view - from my own which is that the 970 remains a top-tiered option, to how NVIDIA very deliberately allowed false specs to disseminate; to those who won't be touching this card because of all this. But the one thing that irks me...

GameWorks is shaking in its boots, you show 'em Mantle!!! Quick, time for an NVIDIA PR guy to go on a rant about how unfair AMD is.

Their higher video RAM? I didn't know AMD had a monopoly on higher video memory solutions in the GPU market. Better port as per GCN? I believe there have been Gaming Evolved titiles that ran better on comparative NVIDIA GPUs. I might be one of those people that understands what GameWorks is...

It will be interesting to come back to this in a year or so, and see who was right or wrong, and to what degree. I sincerely hope Mantle won't be a flop, but I also eye any of AMD's claims with suspicious eyes. Time will tell.

The question begs to be asked, if Mantle is the second coming of Christ, won't that basically completely and utterly negate the need for high, heck, even mid-range cards? I don't know, I think Mantle will prove to be more hype than anything else, seeing that shareholders of a company would...

Any word on what sort of energy efficiency technologies found their way into this brand new router? Or is this point still not important to consumers?

Sorry, I came across this on the forums, not the main site....

OK btarunr, I have to ask: do you and your colleagues actually write any of these AMD "news" or does AMD give you the material to cut and paste on here? Not just exclusive to TechPowerUp, but every single time I see anything written about an AMD partnership or technology, they always sound like...

What seems like "good and forever" at the moment can sometimes be lame and forgotten in no time. How you assume that NVIDIA is desperate with something that has been out now for 7 years is a bit creepy, sorry.

I see your point. I have to admit I've never ever heard of Avexir (and I build PCs) so I guess mission accomplished in that regard, but I also don't think of this as positive marketing. But the point, from my position at least, isn't so much about the quality of the product or the integrity of...

No matter what anyone says, thinks, or otherwise, the price of this product is comical. A joke. If we were nearing April I'd actually genuinely think it was an April's fool prank. I won't preach to the choir here, as I'm sure 99% of us have a solid understanding of how RAM works and what the...

Damn I've never thought I'd see that - it just looks odd. Although, to be fair, Gaming Evolved is not a proprietary tech, it just more marketing than anything else, just like nvidia's 'The Way It's Meant to be Played' awareness program ("awareness", ha! but that's what they call it).

What's with all this nvidia hate? Seriously, AMD has followed suit and has done the whole Gaming Evolved, and TressFX and "all next-gen games will be AMD tuned" so please, spare us the 'evil nvidia' nonsense. Totally agree with the PhysX comment though, nvidia artificially locking it down is...

I can select one of the three AO implementations, including HDAO, on my GTX770, so I it might be an AMD thing but apparently it's performs just fine on nvidia cards too.
