Nvidia GPP

[viperchr]

I just heard about something that Nvidia has been working on claiming that it is supposed to help get GPU's into the hands of gamers and provide a level of transparency to their operations called the Nvidia GPP or GeForce Partner Program. This program from what I heard sounds like its pretty shady considering the youtuber I came across that covered the topic in this video 

found that in the interviewing of 7 companies that had been figured out to have signed on with the Nvidia GPP not 1 employee wanted to be acknowledge for fear of losing their jobs because they described the GPP as being the exact opposite of what Nvidia is publicly saying about the GPP and even went so far as to say some of the things are borderline illegal. I don't know just how illegal the things could be however I do find it extremely screwed up that all companies that sign on with Nvidia's GPP are being forced to align their gaming brand GPU's to only be Nvidia cards (like the guy says in the video, this means that if Asus was to sign on with the GPP you would no longer be able to get any more ROG AMD cards because Nvidia has banned that with the GPP contract). Now I don't know how anyone else feels about that but that is quite messed up if you ask me because everyone who knows anything about computers knows that Nvidia is already the major shareholder and their only real competition is AMD which if they manage to muscle AMD out causes us as the consumers to lose because they wouldn't have the competition to have to try to undercut causing the cards to stay affordable (as if they are now anyways) and they would outright be holding a monopoly on the market unless a major company like Samsung was to decide to drop some of their money into researching GPU technology and get into that market next to prevent Nvidia holding an entire market to themselves. Let me know what you guys think about this once you hhave checked it all out yourselves in the comments and maybe if you believe like I do that this would be a good topic for Linus to cover help me get through to him with the video about this topic and let him see that it is something that his followers would like to see some more research done on since he could get in touch with people that most anyone else cant because of him being an influencer.
