They are having a laugh.

I look at [Arkham Knight] as an example of where Nvidia can help a developer get to market with a quality game," Peterson said. "Warner Bros. ... made a few mistakes getting the game out. It wasn't fully performance optimized for PC. So now we're deploying our QA resources and our engineers to make that game as good as it possibly can be.

Kaap, Dicehunter and greg's thoughts imo are all 'correct' per se, but Dice's words are more the reality.

Humbug hit the nail on the head though, if gpu users were more critical towards either vendor and not predominately one sided, there could be slim chance of rectifying it...


Waits for DX12 mgpu support going clean out the window.

Why is an SLI-Ready PC an Intelligent Investment? No other PC component upgrade can offer even close to the gaming performance boost gained from adding a second graphics card.

That’s performance you can count on

Nvidia link is sparse, AMD one, I'm still laughing.

They are both capable of making sure they have solid high scaling profiles for synthetic BM's, because that sells gpu's.

For the investment, support is lousy and why after 5 different gens of running both vendors mgpu, I've had enough, the reward for the investment/time is simply not 'good enough'.

Kaap, EVERY GE/TWIMTBP endorsed title should have working mgpu support, to miss release is shoddy enough, but none full stop is a slap in the face.

They slap their brand on almost every AAA title, AMD/Nvidia should have ZERO excuse for not having mgpu support.

Don't reward AMD/Nvidia with mgpu sales if they let you down, don't REWARD them with any amounts>1

Spoiler

but can appreciate that would be like coming off class A's in your case

What complete drivel Humbug.

You probably don't notice the rampant ones in here to know who he's talking about.
