Yes. (Not literally supports only 1 brand, but works better with one over the other)


Certain games work better with AMD and vice versa.

3DMark06 and 3DMatkVantage are good examples. Not games i know, but its an example.

Everything depends on what features a game uses, PhysX (MaffiaII) Tesselation (Call of Pripyat) etc. And then there is, of course, the games where the developer worked more closely with on brand over the other (Again 3DMark)



Thats just the way things are.
