I see a lot of people saying that Nvidia will gimp the 900 series somehow with drivers now that the 1000 series of cards are due out.
Has anyone got any proof. Or is it just that faggots are expecting big improvements out of a mature driver?

There is no proof of Nvidia Gimping 700 600 or any other series. Why do people act so surprised that old cards dont work well in new games?

because amds older card remain competitive.

They don't get gimped.but they don't get fancy new drivers to fix performace. So the performance of 900 series will stagnate while AMD continues to support their last gen cards
>>54459724
Because their performance in these newer games went down inbetween driver releases, that's why.

There is a very good case for it made at least, check youtube for the video of some guy breaking it down with graphs and numbers
>290X
>780 Ti
At launch the 780 Ti was about 15% faster than the 290X overall. Now the 290X is about 25% faster than the 780 Ti. The 290X improved in performance by 10% and the 780 Ti lost 15% performance through driver updates.

the only video i've ever seen on the matter disproved your statement and actually showed an upward trend of 3% improvement before capping out.

Because the drivers weren't as optimized at release compared to Jewvidia

Disable goyworks.

Because downgrading to older, supposedly worse drivers, gave performance boosts to these older cards. And of course, brings back old bugs fixed by newer drivers.
So you're stuck using a shitty driver that has annoying bugs and crashes, or sacrifice your FPS instead. Nvidia, the way it's meant to be played.
