The topic under discussion is whether "AMD is lagging way behind NVIDIA." If some games run better on Nvidia not because AMD is lagging, but because those developers are choosing to make them run better on Nvidia cards, the why is very relevant to the topic at hand. What isn't relevant is which brand of video card you choose to buy.
