For those of us that struggle to watch his videos, can anyone summarise it?
I mean I'd bet he's going to criticise Nvidia, so not quite that summarised, but just a quick breakdown of highlights of what he says.

The source code for almost all gameswokrs effects can be downloaded.
Freesync is opens source, AMD keeps the source closed.
Nowhere.
Look at even something new like the Ray Tracing. Nvidia supports it on Volta or better architecture only and closed code.
AMD releases exactly the same tech, for everyone in open source via the GPUOpen and works on Hawaii GPU or better!!!!!!!!

Which you well know is not open, they do naff all to aid the nouveau driver teams either. well apart from holding back firmware so the team can do the relevant bits to add support for new cards. .
to be honest trying to say Nvidia is a big support of open source like intel/amd is laughable.
I admit they have released things in the past but come on D.P.
Edit:
You've confused me on this one.
ut they do have to pay a license fee for use within a commercial product, and can't distribute modified code as their own
Freesync is NOT open source, is is closed source propriety
All of this begs the question why people playing closed source computer games that use closed source libraries and closed source graphics APIs, developed with closed source software, compiled with closed source compilers, running on a closed source operating system, with an AMD GPU using closed source windows drivers and closed source firmware, on a platform where all the hardware is closed source really care that there exists open source drivers for an Operating system they don't use?
No, but the difference is irreverent for any consumer.So not open then?
No, AMD don;'t because Freesync require closed source and propitiatory implantation within the GPU and firmware, and if you are using windows, code within the closed source windows driver. AdaptiveSync itself is not open source, even if someone made an open source driver to support AdaptiveSync.Irrelevant as AMD have a open implementation within the AMDGPU driver, Not sure if any is shared at all with the closed driver though.
There is no real definition of "open standard". Different countries, includes and companies use it to mean different things. It can certainly be closed source, propriety and require usage fees.Agreed it is odd but I think most confuse "open standard" with "open source" tbh.

Nvidia have enough exclusive partners that if MSI, ASUS and gigabyte said "no" it wouldn't make a difference to their sales. Also the founder edition was Nvidia way of telling AIBs that they don't need them.so the AIBs are being as foolish as the people who are saying "its AMDs fault". surely they should contact each other and say lets call Nvidia out and all say no to this?

How much profit does NVidia make if they sell a GPU? How much profit does an AIB make if they sell a GPU? How much do NVidia sell the chips to the AIBs?in your opinion right? no way nvidia are going to make the same profit if you took away the aib's, there is a whole structure that aibs have in place that has a cost to it, which nvidia would have to take up. completely different ball game selling 1 card your self compared to your entire range. if its so easy why arn't they doing it now? money thats why.

HahaOnly Smarties have the answer

missed the point, what about paying extra employees to ship, maintain, sell, deal with rma. phone support etc etc. bigger picture stuff, not just selling a card.Haha
I bet their margins are very high though and I wouldn't mind a slice of that cake.
I would, but how would you understand without the pictures?For those of us that struggle to watch his videos, can anyone summarise it?
