Top 7 reasons why game devs choose Geforce

Personally seems like Nvidia are panicking a little. And for good reason, both of the console titans are going with AMD. I'm already considering replacing my current Geforce with AMD, since it kind of makes sense that the developers will be more focused on their games working well on AMD chipsets.
 
I do smell a hint of fear in that.. Most of the games up until now was optimized for Nvidia, now with the consoles they will most likely fall behind.

Panicking? I find it doubtful. On PC they're extremely competitive; GTX760 is the one to get right now. And they have a lot of coals in the fire; Tegra4 is crazy fast for one thing. Anyway this kind of smack talk happens all the time. AMD put out a similar video yesterday.

Wasn't talking about what's our now, or the specs of the cards, but what I believe could happen in the future and why the responding in the way they are responding. It just makes logical sense that games will be more optimised going forward with the next generation for AMD cards.

Yeah I still don't think so. Panicking is not going to happen. PC gamers only care about value for money, and it's a level playing field. For one thing PS4 is based off FreeBSD Linux, so the drivers are going to be completely different even if it's AMD. It might give AMD a very small possible advantage, but so small that it makes no odds.

I don't agree that the drivers will be COMPLETELY different. Also you ignoring the xbox one? Which is running a modified windows kernel.

No I get that. Like I said there might be some advantage to console ports, particularly coming off the XBOX One. But XBOX360 used an AMD GPU as well and you couldn't really see any difference in 360 ports. I just don't think the prospect of needing to optimise their drivers for next-gen console ports is making Nvidia lose sleep at night. The E3 event that this article is based on seems fairly subdued to me. It's standard promo stuff.
