At least AMD/ATI and Nvidia came up when gaming was the core reason to buy a dedicated graphics card. They have the dev pipeline to at least still make good drivers for gaming. Chart makes me think - that’s why at least the proprietary drivers for Mali, PowerVR, Adreno, etc are all so mediocre when it comes to games. AMD great on Linux. Nvidia great just proprietary. Intel it was well regarded until they made Arc cards and people started comparing them to AMD/Nvidia and the Linux/Windows performance gap for Arc cards was very noticable. Qualcomm hyped up Linux support before the X Elite. Still mediocre.
The chart makes me think, the only hope for good drivers for gaming from non-AMD/Linux will be the open source Adreno driver. The 8 Elite and 8 Elite Gen 5 should be getting initial support early next year.
The rest, which company is going to put in money to do a driver fix for some video game with buggy rendering from like 2010 when they can be focusing on fixing any bugs brought up having to do with pytorch and whatever other stuff people use
