Is it worth buying GameWorks titles day 1?

Something that I'm noticing with Rise of the Tomb Raider is that, each time Square updates the game AMD releases a driver addressing performance issues.

How many times has it been now, 3 drivers dedicated to enhance performance? yet Nvidia released sdk 3.1 of gameroks that means yet another driver by AMD to fix the game.

The problem is that games like this are linear and story driven, meaning there is no point to return after you finish the game.

So if i go out and spent 60 euro on that game will get my whole experience ruined.

I did not brought a r9 390 to turn the settings down.

What do you guys think?

I think the answer is to completely boycott companies who use proprietary coding because they are paid to do it.

    Hopefully Vulkan will help put an end to GameWorks. When you're programming a game which could take comparatively little modification to run on Windows and Linux, there's little reason to include GameWorks.
