It is unclear whether AMD can implement its Anti-Lag+ differently without dealing with game engines or if game developers certify such modifications and make appropriate changes to their anti-cheat protection technologies.

I don't see many, if any, game developers simply authorizing modifications by AMD, especially not after they've made all this work for them having to identify and reverse bans, seems like it would open a door for cheaters to fake AMD's paths and implement their own cheats, especially since AMD comprises a vast minority of GPUs (15% vs nVidia's 77% according to the latest Steam Hardware Survey).

Most anti-cheats are ridiculously bad and trigger from anything unusual for stupid-gamer-pc. For example one quite popular game claims Process Hacker to be a "hacking tool".

If AMD can implement something useful without the need to modify game code – it's really great, as it would also work for older games. Stupid anti-cheats be damned.

Also, graphical drivers pretty much always modify the major games for better performance, just on different level.
