Well you gotta stay ahead of the competition somehow. And nVidia is nVidia. They do this kind of thing all the time, until it can be proven. Sadly this will have very little repercussions. They will settle outside of court for some lofty sum of money they can easily afford and job done keep doing it. I assume this is another reason why they will never open source their drivers.
They won’t open source their drivers, but community will) NVK for the way, recently they passed vulkan 1.0 test, progress is going bois)
NVIDIA is pouring billions into scientific research. They’re not trying to stay ahead of the competition by stealing secrets, they are the ones doing the groundbreaking research
Sure, every company invests at least to a degree into R&D, that’s how you stay ahead but this is not the first time nVidia has been caught doing shady stuff. For them it’s biggest income for least amount of effort users be damned. This video albeit old and outdated does a good job at illustrating how nVidia loves abusing their position and just how malicious they are given the opportunity.
