"Thief" Optimized for AMD Technologies
AMD today announced exclusive collaboration with Square Enix to optimize "THIEF" for the Graphics Core Next architecture in select AMD Radeon graphics processors, as well as the x86 and graphics architectures featured in AMD A-Series APUs. Developed in conjunction with the AMD Gaming Evolved program, "THIEF" will extensively leverage the advanced capabilities of AMD Radeon graphics processors, including AMD Eyefinity multi-display technology for panoramic gaming, AMD CrossFire multi-GPU technology for supreme performance, and state-of-the-art DirectX 11 rendering for pristine image quality.
"The 'THIEF' franchise has a storied history that we are proud to join in this latest installment," said Matt Skynner, corporate vice president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit, AMD. "We are even more pleased to work so closely with their development team to realize the vision for these games with the incredible gaming performance of a PC powered by AMD Radeon graphics. And as the exclusive hardware partner for 'THIEF,' we continue to demonstrate that the best experience for gamers and developers lives at AMD with the Gaming Evolved program."
Square Enix is present at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) with a wide variety of games and demonstrations to be discovered and experienced hands-on in the South Hall at booth #1647, or online with the Square Enix Presents YouTube channel.
"AMD, Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal have a strong and notable relationship," said Stephane D'Astous, general manager, Eidos-Montréal. "It was only logical that we extend the cooperative efforts of our teams to 'THIEF,' imbuing it with the expertise that made 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' such a technical achievement. Those efforts include a broad range of exclusive performance optimizations for AMD CPUs, APUs and graphics cards, and we are excited about making our game a technology showcase on the PC platform."
AMD also has a large presence at this year's E3, located in the South Hall booth #423. From an array of gadgets powered by AMD APUs and CPUs, to UltraHD gaming driven by the world's most advanced graphics cards, fans can experience AMD's full commitment to gaming on a diverse range of state-of-the-art computing solutions.

i would consider to turn back to amd on next upgrade on their next gen cards based on 20nm technology.
If the optimization helps both camps shouldn't AMD do it regardless?
So are the guys posting negatively just super fanboys, or are they nVidia Focus Group members? I've seen some of them posting on various enthusiast sites recently, and many have dropped their focus group sigs and lie about owning AMD, then switching to nV.
Either way, it's stupid to start fights over hardware and software. Unless you're picking on the new XBOX.
Since won't be article about this I put this here. :rolleyes:
Nvidia is better because they won't play with high numbers. Repeat twice for more advanced tech.
Nvidia still doesnt fully support the latest Direct X 11.1. You'll have to wait for Maxwell if your cheering for the Green team. I guess its okay or good enough when you leave out the .1 support for two generations of your products.
/rally the green team cheering squad :rolleyes:
Really guys think about that .1 in DX11.1.... Maybe AMD has the.1 coded for there cards....just saying....And yes this is what i said awhile ago about AMD holding out until the games and console catch up .......
As for DX11.1 it's nothing wrong. AMD Advocacy Group already investigated that Kepler is only gaming GPU so it's nothing wrong disable non-gaming features, right?Remember AMD's fake slides? Yes, they do exists. : D
Of course games are going to be "Optomized for AMD", all of the next gen consoles will be using AMD hardware! Does it mean that games won't work on systems with nVidia hardware? No! Developers will optomized their games to work on that hardware as well. SHOCKER
It's a freaking marketing gimmick, and you all fell for it. AMD might be the greatest troll known to man, but then the amount of asshattery contained in the "nVidia fights HIV" thread was just as preposterous.
A company is going to push features that work for their products, if nVidia wants to pay developers to use PhysX in their games, then so be it, it's their money and they can market it anyway they want to.
