We possess unique deals with different manufacturers and varied interfaces, so what would happen if PC gaming ever had a single API for Nvidia and another for AMD? Imagine the chaos—games split between platforms, some only available on one side. Can you picture such a scenario? It’s unsettling to think about. Recent moves involving Gameworks, Mantle, and DirectX made me concerned about the industry’s path. The current issues with Watch Dogs and upcoming Ubisoft titles highlight growing disparities. Performance isn’t just about hardware anymore; it’s about whether games can fully utilize their capabilities due to artificial restrictions or advantages set by developers and GPU makers during development.
