NVIDIA GPP Ignites Uproar & Calls for Boycott as AIBs Begin Signing on
..it requires add-in-board partners to drop AMD from their gaming brands..
To put it bluntly, if the allegations are accurate, .
..to date, NVIDIA denies these allegations..
gamers have been noticing a very peculiar trend beginning to occur with MSI and Gigabyte that suggests they might have joined NVIDIA’s GPP..
Let’s start with Gigabyte, the company recently launched a new gaming graphics enclosure powered by an AMD Radeon RX 580. Unlike Gigabyte’s previous enclosures which carry the AORUS brand, Gigabyte’s premium gaming brand, this enclosure only gets a generic Gigabyte sticker.
Again, this is not the "bash Nvidia" thread. Rather, its about the "Future" of AMD and AMD branded products.
The foregoing impacts the "Future" of AMD and the naming that Gamer's will see when they go to buy. The lack of "high end" name-branding (e.g. AORUS) on AMD products will turn off some buyers who are unaware of the GPP.
