News::Nvidias GameWorks program usurps power from developers, end-users and AMD

Joel Hruska(ExtremeTech) : Over the past few months, Nvidia has made a number of high-profile announcements regarding game development and new gaming technologies. One of the most significant is a new developer support program, called GameWorks. The GameWorks program offers access to Nvidias CUDA development tools, GPU profiling software, and other developer resources. One of the features of GameWorks is a set of optimized libraries that developers can use to implement certain effects in game. Unfortunately, these same libraries also tilt the performance landscape in Nvidias favor in a way that neither developers nor AMD can prevent.
