Ok who paid you to say that? Was it Winnie the Pooh?

For office and 1080 gaming, this is a GOOD thing. That means low end PCs and value systems will have enough GPU power and competition will increase. Nothing wrong with this and I dunno why capitalists are not all over this. Seems paranoia are getting in the way of a good technical discussion.

I always wondered with these third party chips how the driver situation is gonna be? Surely some unknown competitor with zero investment in drivers can't match up to the decade long experience of driver software engineers of AMD/nvidia and even Intel? We all know you can't over compensate with raw processing powers, we've seen how that story ends with the GTX 690, r9 295x2 and 6990. Granted i'm utterly clueless on how driver software functions on anything higher than basic level.

It`s going to be like Intel or even worse, they have to start from zero and improve with time.

I see nothing wrong with a fourth player entering the 3D arena , more competition is always welcome and in the end is better for all of us.
