The toolkit has some awesome effects, like PhysX and HairWorks (the thing behind Geralt’s luscious hair in the most recentWitcher), but unfortunately it can result in big problems for some players. As GameWorks is proprietary and heavily locked down by Nvidia, developers can’t share the code with AMD to optimise the drivers for it....
