    Every single thing about what you’re discussing literally guarantees that GPUs are dogshit. There’s no path to any of the features we’re discussing getting accepted to open standards if AMD has input. They only added them after Nvidia proved how much better they are than brute force by putting them in people’s hands.

    Standards do not and fundamentally cannot work when actual innovation is called for. Nvidia competing is exactly 100% of the reason we have the technology we have. We’d be a decade behind, bare minimum, if AMD had any input at all in a standards body that controlled what Nvidia can make.

      The process I detailed does not require consensus before a product can be released, it just allows for that consensus to happen eventually. So by definition, it won’t impede progress. It does encourage direct competition, and that’s something NVIDIA would rather avoid.
