Amd takes away another Nvidia sponsored title

shankly1985 · 4 Apr 2019 at 07:19

Am really happy to see this, AMD titles are always very well optimised for the PC.

Gearbox follows along with Ubisoft once a massive company for producing Nvidia sponsored titles.

Great news for us all

We’re excited to announce that we’re developing @Borderlands 3 in partnership with @GearboxOfficial to offer incredible gaming experiences on @AMDRyzen and @Radeon.

It's unreal engine 4 game right? Doesn't that mean it's automatically well optimized for Nvidia?
At least hopefully it means they'll try to put some extra work in for AMD on this engine

It be like anything else Amd has worked on. All very well optimised games for both nvidia and AMD.

They is nothing in these titles taking a side like Gameworks.

Just look over titles amd has worked on vs nvidia.
Some of the best PC titles for performance has AMDs name on them, while some of the worst titles have Gameworks.

I remember how much FPS "hairworks" ate on Witcher 3 lol. Nvidia seem to like minor features you barely notice, with high performance costs...

I suspect AMD prefer lower level optimisations rather than gimmicks. Which gives better results for everyone.

Factually incorrect clickbait title, what do you expect from AMDs no.1 fanboi.....

Be nice

A good win for AMD this, as generally it has NVidia only techs in the BL games. A shame it is an Epic store only but hey ho.

I thought it was the norm to berate the OP when they post a news story in this subforum.

Is that not the case? Or is it only one of those selective rules

Haha, apparently not. It is fine to get loads of stick though but not good posting "self-pity, needless attention seeking posts" apparently.

but am i right in saying it will be feature lacking? the physX on borderlands 2 was superb and really set it apart from the console versions. IF well optimised means reduced features then i am not sure that is good..... i suppose it is easy to run well if you remove stuff like that.

or is it going to have an open source equivalent and will have all the same eyecandy? in which case that IS great news.

Agreed with that. I loved the PhysX in BL2 and would like to see it again or similar at least.

They really isn't any need for Physx anymore.
They is enough other alternatives out that do the job good enough these days.

If you would have posted this there would be war in here.

Rather physics like Havok or Rubikon that's already in the engine tbh, that way no silly performance drops and works on all hardware.

With Google Stadia being a thing many games should start using Vulkan which will perform really well on AMD, including Unreal Engine 4.

Of course its going to be optimized for AMD, they're the ones in the PS4 and Xbone

let's face it AMD need all the optimisation you can give since inferior products, every little helps

Did AMD pay Epic for exclusivity? GaBEN is going to be heartbroken as ATI partnered with Valve when Steam was new for HL2.

I cant comment on Rubikon but i have played plenty of Havok based games but have not seen the quality effects like some of the physx games.

that said proof will be in the pudding, if BL3 is as impressive in terms of particle effects as BL2 with hardware physx its all good. Maybe physx's time has passed but there is no denying it was head and shoulders above anything else at the time.... batman arkam asylum was jaw dropping imo. I do wish NV had unlocked it for everything that way it would have been better supported.
