What a ridiculous assertion. Had it not been for NVIDIA'S superior performance, we would have no frame of reference for AMD's drivers being 'crap' by comparison. If NVIDIA was no better at optimizing for their own hardware, NVIDIA drivers would show similar levels of 'crappiness'.
And I was talking about the Wii U's API, not the NX. And I wasn't saying it was much worse AMD's drivers, just that it wasn't automatically better just because it was on fixed hardware.
If by "proactive optimization" you actually meant "having written a much better drivers overall" then you are correct. If you meant that NV specifically optimizes for each new title out there to get to this type of performance advantage then you're mostly wrong - as most Game Ready drivers do not in fact provide any noticeable performance gains compared to whatever drivers were available previously and serve mostly as a compatibility update.
Wii U's API should be better than AMD's drivers as well as it's as thin as any other console API out there. No reason to suspect the opposite.
