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

Amd takes away another Nvidia sponsored title

well Phsyx is supported in Unreal Engine 4, it can run via the gpu OR cpu.
Unreal Engine 4 also supports DXR Ray Tracing and DLSS
Unreal Engine 4 also supports Variable Rate Shading/Adaptive Shading
These are Nvidia features baked into the Borderlands 3 game engine, since it's an AMD title it's likely the game will have those things disabled at the engine level

PhysX is open source and so is RTX (A microsoft lib)
Is dlss part of gameworks or is it marketed separately? Cause it boosts performance as does variable rate shading
PhysX comes under gameworks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_GameWorks
RTX is Nvidia's implementation of DXR. They like to lock people in to their own ecosystem ofc.

it does, it means you get those annoying intro videos that you have to find ways to disable

I really hate games that have those unskipable logo animation screens!it does, it means you get those annoying intro videos that you have to find ways to disable
That's old news. PhysX has been open source since December 2018

And RTX Runs on Microsoft's DXR (DX Runtime Engine).

Sure it does, it means graphics engineer's from AMD work alongside the development team to build and optimise the game for the hardware.
Amd themselves have released videos from past games explaining this.
It just so happens that while Amd get the PC port optimised Nvidia users also benefit because everything amd adds is open source and works well on either amd or nvidia.
A perfect example that I keep bring up.
Nvidia sponsored titles are know for some of the worst PC ports available, while Amd sponsored titles are know for being some of the best title for performance.
GAMEWORKS!
What do Amd add that is open source? Or do you just mean things in general?
Just because something is open source doesn't mean it's no longer licensed software and part of some other package.

I really liked BL1, didn't buy BL2 though do to the physx crap. This might interest me.
Although the "remake" of BL1 wasn't all that inspiring.

A quote from that article (which I assume you didn't read)
I think you are a little wrapped up with the NVidia hate and refuse to see anything good
Yes and it's still a part of gameworks...

Its not always for what you see like TressFX its for what is happening under the hood that AMD provide game developers.
AMD tells it better
Video from last year
Video from 3 years ago, the building box for what is happening today. They is a reason devs are jumping at AMD and its not because of money, its because of an eco system AMD has created optimise for console and PC = less time and money. Like I said this code is also open source and it just so happens that nvidia also get the best out of their GPUs.
AMD simple produce well optimised games for the PC! That is a fact!

Correct me if am wrong! Has Nvidia public came out and said this? I dont seem to find anything, I remember this article and was one of the first to give Nvidia the thumbs up in the thread for this!

Proof in pudding will be the eating but if BL3 is more like BL2 running with physx off than with it on then AMD being involved means NV users are gimped.
If AMD choose to allow devs to use physx still as an option or they have an alternate that is just as good then fine, bit I am worried.

When Nvidia sponsor a game, it runs poor on their cards, but runs absolute cack on AMDs, their fastest cards, even sturggle to beat Nvidias mid ranges, but when AMD sponsors a game, it rus great on their cards, but it runs even better on Nvidias
