My main concern at the moment is that while AMD keeps their tools open (Mantle, TressFX, etc, all useable by other manufacturers), nVidia has total lockdown over Gameworks. Obviously they want to force people to buy their product, but this is not healthy for the gaming market at all, and if AMD didn't have a lot of income via consoles for the next 8 years, I'd be very worried about a monopoly. Either way, it's shitty practice, and I won't be buying nVidia cards because of it. The G-Sync shit was just the start, clearly.
And let's not forget that Unreal Engine 4 has Gameworks built into it's core. That's not going to be good news.
Unreal has always had an Nvidia bias to it, never really had any major issues with it in the past and I'm sure devs will work around gameworks somehow. AMD will continue to do well as not everyone will take up gameworks and for all we know this might just be another G-sync goof.
All AMD need to do is to become the best option for open source OS and they'll do just as well, perhaps better.
