as much as it sucks that LP2 and HAWX are Nvidia optimized people still play those games... and if your playing LP2 on AMD your just not going to have the best experience. Nvidia overall seems to have allot more consistent performance even in AMD sponsored games. like in LP2 it is so bad when it comes to similar performing cards when I recommend a new video card to someone I ask them if they will be playing LP2. if they are then I will lean towards an Nvidia Card, if not then pretty much whatever is cheapest
Depends on the approach I guess and as far as I remember AMD said in an interview that they will never de optimize games for their competitor.

That way proprietary standards like PhysX are bad, since you can have normal physics in a game or Nvidia can add a bit of green fairy dust (also known as money) to a title in production and suddenly normal features like e.g. fog are implemented in a way that will work only on NV cards.

You can call me biased, but I prefer to have standard features available to everyone.
