Sabotaging AMD GPUs: Nvidia's 20 year history of collusion, cheats and gimmicks.
2002 - Nvidia begins "the Way its meant to be played" marketing campaign that proved to be a way of sabatoging ATI GPUs by influencing the developers of high profile games to neglect optimizing their games for AMD GPUs and use Nvidia optimized code instead.
2003 - Nvidia begins getting caught sabatoging ATI GPUs by cheating 3D Mark benchmarks. Nvidia secretly minipulated their drivers to reduce the render distances and fraudulently boost performance result in their GPUs.
2006 - Nvidia heavily suspected of sabotaging ATI GPUs in the tech press by privately paying actors or offering free hardware to reviewers to promote Nvidia products online. This heavy suspicion of Nvidia collusion has only grown over the years even to this day.
2009 - Nvidia targets a new gimmick scheme in PhysX aimed at sabotaging AMD GPUs by purchasing Agea the makers of PhysX and explicitly gimping CPU support and disabling AMD GPU support. Nvidia would go on for years using PhysX as a gimmick to attract gamers by paying developers to inject PhysX into games and benchmarks to make AMD GPUs run poorly.
2010 - AnandTech confesses that Nvidia aggressively persues control over GPU review websites to hand pick the game selection for benchmarks and control product comparison narritives to make AMD GPUs look worse than Nvidia GPUs.
2010 - Nvidia came up with a new gimmick scheme in hardware tessellation aimed at sabotaging AMD GPUs by adding over kill tessellation cores to their GPU and then influencing game developers to inject an over use of tessellation into games to choke AMD GPU performance. Nvidia even tried to send review websites their own custom build of a game benchmark to sabotaging AMD GPU reviews.
2013 - Nvidia sabotaged AMD GPUs by Litterally using AMDs upper management as actual spies. According to AMD several upper management employees at AMD leaked 100,000 confidential files to Nvidia before leaving AMD to work for Nvidia. The files included future company strategies, trade secret technology, etc.
2014 - Nvidia launches GameWorks; a collection of graphics gimmicks optimized for Nvidia hardware and designed to run poorly on AMD GPUs. Nvidia influenced game developers for many years to inject GameWorks collection of gimmicks into popular games to sabatoge AMD GPU performance.
2018 - Nvidia launched GPP (GPU partner program) aimed at sabotaging AMD GPUs by intimidating 3rd party AIB makers to exclude their GPU brand to Nvidia. This cause such backlash that Nvidia cancelled the program.
2018 - Nvidia came up with a new gimmick scheme in hardware ray tracing. Nvidia desperately scrambling to differentiate their GPUs from AMD sought to persue a new gimmick disguised as a supposed passion for the evolution of graphics Nvidia suckers gamers into giving away 50% performance on $600 to $1200 GPUs just to to turn on hardware ray tracing features which currently results in little to no relevant visual improvement over traditional modern PC game rendering methods. This is currently an ongoing gimmick aimed at sabotaging AMD GPUs by putting over engineered ray tracing processors in their GPUs and then influencing developers to inject pointless performance killing ray traced features into popular games which makes all GPUs run poorly but it makes AMD GPUs perform even worse.
