In light of the Nvidia GPP controversy, AMD made an official announcement that it remains committed to fair competition and providing consumer choice. In AMD’s own words, the company’s products don’t come with “gamer taxes” and the company doesn’t force its partners into “anti-competitive conditions.”
Late last month, HardOCP published its opinion on a new Nvidia partner program called the GeForce Partner Program (GPP). GPP was launched without much fanfare and slipped under the radar until HardOCP dragged it into the spotlight. The issue quickly developed into a controversy. We posted an explainer on what GPP is, but to summarize: GPP allegedly forces Nvidia graphics card partners, such as Asus, MSI, and others, to create Nvidia-exclusive branding. In practice, that means that partners can’t have product lines that offer both Nvidia and AMD graphics options. For example, under GPP, Asus wouldn’t be able to make AMD graphics cards that carry it’s most well-known brand, ROG.
Initially, much of the talk surrounding GPP remained accusations and speculation. More recently, however, continued silence from Nvidia and branding changes spotted in Asus’, MSI’s, and Gigabyte’s product lines have begun to paint a picture of the anti-competitive nature that underlies GPP. The three Nvidia graphics card partners all removed name branding from their AMD graphics cards. Asus removed its aforementioned ROG branding, MSI cut its “Gaming” moniker, and Gigabyte deleted its Aorus name. Asus was the first to officially announce a new brand for its AMD graphics cards: Arez. Going forward "Arez" will take the place of "ROG" in Asus’ AMD products. We suspect that MSI and Gigabyte will soon follow suit.
AMD has now broken its silence on the matter and issued an official statement. Of course, AMD didn’t mention GPP or Nvidia by name, but it’s clear who this statement targets. Corporate VP of Radeon Gaming at AMD Scott Herkelman said the following with regards to the ongoing controversy.
Herkelman is obviously referring to brands, including Arez, that are created by the add-in board partners out of necessity due to GPP, and not anything resulting from AMD’s own initiatives with those companies. AMD is trying spin the inception of these brands positively, however. As Herkelman notes, brands carrying AMD’s products will carry its pillars of being dedicated to “open innovation,” of “true transparency,” and of “expanding the PC ecosystem.”
As Herkelman rightly points out, AMD does have a decent track record in these departments. The most well-known example is probably FreeSync. Unlike with Nvidia’s G-Sync, which requires proprietary silicon and licensing to implement, FreeSync is part of the standard display protocols in HDMI and DisplayPort. Herkelman also mentions the open-source graphics API Vulkan, a competitor to Microsoft’s DirectX. Vulkan was built upon AMD’s donated Mantle API from 2013.

AMD它敢强迫人家合作么

鉴于Nvidia GPP的争议，AMD发布了官方声明，称它仍致力于公平竞争并为消费者提供选择。用AMD自己的话来说，该公司的产品不会带来“玩家税”，公司也不会强迫其合作伙伴进入“反竞争状态”。
上个月底，HardOCP发布了一个名为GeForce合作伙伴计划（GPP）的新的Nvidia合作伙伴计划。GPP的推出并没有太多夸夸其谈，直到HardOCP将其拖入聚光灯下。这个问题很快发展成争议。我们在GPP上发布了一个解释器，但要总结一下：据称，GPP迫使Nvidia显卡合作伙伴（如Asus，MSI和其他公司）创建Nvidia独家品牌。实际上，这意味着合作伙伴不能拥有同时提供Nvidia和AMD图形选项的产品线。例如，在GPP下，华硕将无法制造出拥有最知名品牌ROG的AMD显卡。
最初，围绕GPP的大部分讨论仍然是指责和猜测。然而，最近，Nvidia继续保持沉默，华硕，MSI和技嘉的产品线发现了品牌变化，技嘉的产品线已经开始描绘GPP背后的反竞争性质。三家Nvidia显卡合作伙伴都从他们的AMD显卡中删除了品牌名称。华硕删除了前面提到的ROG品牌，微星削减了它的“游戏”绰号，技嘉删除了它的Aorus名称。华硕是第一个正式宣布其AMD显卡新品牌：Arez。在华硕的AMD产品中，“Arez”将取代“ROG”。我们怀疑微星和技嘉很快就会效仿。
AMD现在已经打破了对此事的沉默，并发表了正式声明。当然，AMD没有提及GPP或Nvidia的名称，但是这个声明的目标是谁。AMD公司Radeon Gaming公司副总裁Scott Herkelman就以下争议进行了说明。
Herkelman显然指的是包括Arez在内的品牌，这些品牌由GPP出于需要而由插件板合作伙伴创建，而不是由AMD自己与这些公司合作开发的任何内容。不过，AMD正在积极尝试推出这些品牌。正如Herkelman所指出的那样，携带AMD产品的品牌将携带“致力于开放式创新”，“真正透明”和“扩大PC生态系统”的支柱。
正如Herkelman正确指出的那样，AMD在这些部门确实有不俗的业绩记录。最知名的例子可能是FreeSync。与Nvidia的G-Sync不同，后者需要专有芯片和许可才能实现，FreeSync是HDMI和DisplayPort标准显示协议的一部分。Herkelman还提到了开源图形API Vulkan，它是微软DirectX的竞争对手。Vulkan建立于AMD自2013年以来捐赠的Mantle API上。

意思是AMD准备啥也不做，坐看NV绑架厂商驱逐自家显卡么。。挖矿潮之后的A卡占有率太难看了。
