Apparently, Nvidia is "under the table" again. Since this affects the "Future and Current Status" of AMD in the marketplace, its noted here. However, this is not a "bash Nvidia" (or Intel) thread, so just linking the lengthy article.

GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice
While we usually like to focus on all the wonderful and immersive worlds that video cards and their GPUs can open up to us, today we are tackling something a bit different. The GeForce Partner Program, known as GPP in the industry, is a "marketing" program that looks to HardOCP as being an anticompetitive tactic against AMD and Intel..
There is no doubt that NVIDIA GPP has some striking similarities to what Intel has done in the past that has been deemed "anticompetitive conduct" by the Federal Trade Commision. We would not be surprised to see regulators in the US, Europe, and Asia want to take a closer look at GPP as well.
