NVIDIA does $5 million deal with Ubisoft

NVIDIA does $5 million deal with Ubisoft

It looks like NVIDIA spend $5 million to optimize Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed 5 and Watch Dogs. In fact AMD also is rumored to have invested a similar sum in Battlefield 4, exact details about these deals are unclear but word in cyberspace indicates this to be around $5 million to $8 million.

FUD Zilla reports the following on this:

We do know that Nvidia already has some Assassin’s creed demos with 4K textures that are supposed to look amazing as Nvidia agrees with AMD thinking that future of gaming is in 4K gaming. Our industry sources now tell us that it’s just AMD spending serious bucks on the Battlefield 4 deal. It turns out that the guys behind The way it’s meant to be played and Nvidia ISV (independent software vendor) relationship have spent about $5 million on their Ubisoft deal.

It involves two games, Assassins Creed 5 and Watch Dogs and our sources tell us that AMD was looking into a similar deal with Ubisoft, but it walked away simply as they believed that spending a similar or slightly higher amount on an AAA shooter like Battlefield 4 was a better deal – plus BF4 is the first game to support AMD’s new Mantle API, so it just made more sense.

Wow It really does? That's pretty awesome. Low level hardware access should make for some amazing performance.

Do you mean the forthcoming Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag or the game after that?

But... uh-oh... I really do not like where this is going. A PC is a platform where all gamers should be able to enjoy the experience as much as everyone else regardless of whether they own an AMD or NVIDIA card. The problem is that games that are endorsed by AMD and NVIDIA typically run worst or have missing features on the other. That really isn't something I agree with even though NVIDIA have been including TXAA and PhysX in a limited of titles over the past few years. It's great when you own the hardware and the game looks and runs great but not so great if you're missing out on stuff or the performance is sub-par.

I can understand rivalry between Microsoft and Sony with their consoles boasting exclusive content over the other but it really shouldn't happen on the PC IMO.

Could not agree more, whole thing is ridiculous. Given time though majority of games end up being optimized well for both. They're basically paying for a head start from what I understand. Something we are currently experiencing with the BF4 beta, well at least I hope that's the case..... better be! lol.
