    Obviously - this is an issue solving some financial problems for nvidia, it is better to sell expensive QUADRO series to game developers instead of cheaper end client GTX series.

    Don't blame me, sometimes my eyes go cross-eyed from reading all the stupid. :bonk:

    That was intentional by the way, I was hoping someone would catch me out. :p

    Bro AMD is far from dying. AMD chips are what is going into all of the next gen consoles. AMD A10 APU in PS Orbis etc.

    If they were in danger of dying as a company, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony would not all 3 go to them for their chips....

    Even if it gets to the point where they cant sustain themselves anymore, a company will surely grab them up, you can count on that.

    We will still have Radeon and AMD CPU's for a good long time yet.

    Although they may one day in the not so near future, refine their APU's to the point where they can just sell those and yield great performance.

    Spouting crap like AMD is dying is just rubbish. Name change one day? Maybe.

    AMD is running out of money. Most of us consider that "dying"....

    Absolutely not an issue whatsoever! Firstly, DX11.1 is useless in a practical sense; plus, if Windows 8 is out of the picture, it doesn't even matter because the DX11.1 "patch" for Windows 7 is fully supported by the Kepler architecture. In any case, all's good nvidia, just keep the kick-ass drivers coming!

    These unsupported features seem to only concern some future professional applications - I'm pretty much sure they'll want to use that to differentiate cards between gamer GeForce and workstation Quadro / Tesla.

    Sadly not... but this dont mean they will be use by developpers in the games released in 2013. Hence why i continue to say this is not really important..

    MS have not release the DX11.1 features 3 months ago.. thoses was determined a long time ago, and basically most are supported on hardware level 11_0 by the API. Some need an hardware level change and it seems Nvidia have not include them on their hardware. ( And im sure there's a good reason for it, lets not forget the 2012 Kepler is empty of all computing parts too, maybe it was enter in conflict with it ) That is just that.

    Then again it is really specific, and this will have surely no impact at all.

    Worst case would be bankruptcy and restructuring, or a buyout, and you know it.

    They're not dying.
