AMD Wants to Standardize PC Gaming

Vigile writes "Even though PC gaming has a very devout fan-base, it is impossible to not see the many benefits that console gaming offers: faster loads, better compatibility and more games that fully utilize the hardware to name a few. AMD just launched a new initiative called AMD GAME! that attempts to bring some of these benefits to PC games as well. AMD will be certifying hardware for two different levels of PC gaming standards, testing compatibility with a host of current and future PC titles as well as offering up AMD GAME! ready components or pre-built systems from partners."

    The supporters of M$ should never be supported. Out of all of the microprocessor manufacturers, only Intel supports free software to its fullest.

    Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.

    Just do not use ATI graphics cards.

    I mean over 5 years now I know of the infamous ATI Drivers going into Infinite loop on simple OpenGL.

    I think they should not worry too much about a standard game and worry more about their own drivers.
