| Why 'Watch Dogs' Is Bad News For AMD Users This article posted today at Forbes claims that Watch Dogs is "bad news for AMD users and potentially the entire PC gaming ecosystem." Thanks to S3rvb0t for the heads up. So a partner studio like Ubisoft can suggest or write enhancements to the GameWorks libraries, but AMD isn't allowed to see those changes or suggest their own. "The code obfuscation makes it difficult to perform our own after-the-fact driver optimizations, as the characteristics of the game are hidden behind many layers of circuitous and non-obvious routines," Hallock continues. "This change coincides with NVIDIA's decision to remove all public Direct3D code samples from their site in favor of a 'contact us for licensing' page. AMD does not engage in, support, or condone such activities." http://www.hardocp.com/news/2014/05/...for_amd_users/ |
