    Because they make good progress with their Mesa driver? I cover open-source Linux graphics drivers regardless of vendor.

      Anyway, more performance is always welcome. Though, it seems to me the #1 performance issue seems to be some sort of bottleneck (likely CPU). For a long while, many benchmarks have shown GPUs of varying performance levels and/or architectures topping out around the same frame rate.
      AMD has been a lot more cooperative, and details of the progress on AMD's side are readily available (for example, through mailing list postings like this). Michael also regularly talks about Freedreno; it's a matter of the availability of information.

        LOL, closed source drivers don't even ship with a decent changelog most of the times, what do you expect him to write about?
        ## VGA ##
        AMD: X1950XTX, HD3870, HD5870
        Intel: GMA45, HD3000 (Core i5 2500K)

          Because they are the only ones usable for high end gaming with open drivers. Nvidia is out of the picture.

            Yeah, let's make articles according to marketshare and not because there is something new to say.
            NVIDIA gets their benches and all, but since their development happens behind closed doors, there is very little to say between one release and the next.

              because they are 100% of vendor-supported dgpus

                Huh? Nvidia 100% supports their dGPUs too, but they release less information than Intel (who doesn't have any discrete gaming GPUs).



                AMD is reported on because they're just simply the most active and release the most public information. And even then, a decent chunk of the AMD-related news isn't from AMD's developers, but rather 3rd party developers like David Arlie or Valve.

                I'd say Intel has a decent amount of news too, but since their GPUs are less appealing, they have less 3rd party contributors. Intel also doesn't seem to make too many statements about what they intend to do, but rather state what they have already done, which reduces some of the news about them.

                  not only Dirt Rally. Saints Row IV was the game I tested and fps dropped quite a lot. Not only that, but somehow the 13 fps I get now seem laggier and more visible than same 13fps before.

                    News article: http://silicon-news.com/news/2012/06/17/linus-torvalds-nvidia-fuck-you/Linus Torvalds reveals his true feelings for Nvidia.

                      This is ridiculous. AMD has released Ryzen, which is a performance revolution for mainstream PC users, they are going to release Vega soon.
                      In addition to that the MESA drivers make great progress... for AMD cards.

                      When Nvidia likes the publicity in our community they should cooperate so people can write about them. For Windows they may remain number one. But as long as they hold up the protectionism of their market share higher than anything else they are just incompatible to the values of freedom, solidarity and progression that the open source community represents.
