A very interesting and perhaps controversial new report has been published over at HardOCP, penned by their editor in chief Kyle Bennett. The story concerns Bennett's investigations into the new Nvidia GeForce Partner Program (GPP) and its ramifications for the industry, and ultimately, for consumers. After some digging though the Nvidia GPP T&Cs and talking to various AIBs and OEMs, Bennett suggests that Nvidia is seeking to benefit from its almost-monopoly position in gaming graphics and to effectively force AIBs to choose between being a close partner with Nvidia, or facing various less favourable trading circumstances outside the partnership.

Nvidia up to its usual shenanigans, even when i start to consider buying them, they have to pull something like this again, and then i just get fed up, no freesync because NO, weird drivers, constant meddling in game code to slow down amd, and now this, pressuring journalists and borderline(?) illegal "partner" programs.

If this is the case, it sounds very Intel-esque from yesteryear.
