Every little thing you post on these forums is anti-AMD. Can you please list exact AMD GPUs (not just model numbers) which you purchased from 2006 until 2016? I have a feeling no matter what AMD releases in the GPU land in 2017 it will never satisfy you.
This has nothing to do with the thread you posted it in, so I didn't respond to it there. Here you go.

From a post I did 3 years ago here, so you can't accuse me of making stuff up just to prove you wrong again. In 2014 I bought a 780Ti. The first Nvidia card I ever bought. The Geforce 2 I had back in 2000 was given to me by my sister, and I gave it back after a couple of weeks because I preferred the Voodoo 5500 I had already been using. The only high end card AMD has released since I bought the 780Ti has been the Fury X which was awful, so I have not even contemplated buying an AMD card since the last one I had.
Once again, you dodged my question on listing every specific AMD videocard you bought from 2006. My guess is you never owned any or at most maybe one in the last 10 years.
Wrong again, I don't expect any apology for the false accusation from you though.
Anyone who owned all 4 these: GeForce 5+7+Fermi+Kepler should never pretend that his/her opinions will ever be taken seriously on objectively judging AMD's GPU products. Just owning GeForce 5+7 alone is enough to undermine the credibility of any GPU owner who claims to be objective as both of those series were complete garbage on the high-end.
Well, I owned nothing before Kepler, so I'm fine here, though again taking shots at me based on false assumptions by you.
An objective PC buyer who truly claims that they will spend any amount of money just to have the best performance would have at the very least owned 9700Pro/9800XT, X800XT PE/X850XT PE, X1900XT/X1950XTX, 7970Ghz since NV had nothing faster than those cards for many months.
Boy this keeps getting more and more awkward. Check the list above, I owned one from all 4 of those combinations. Can you claim that?
Prior to Fermi, NV's 2D and 3D IQ was so bad, they weren't even in the same ballpark as ATI/AMD.
Which was one of the main reasons I gave the geforce 2 back to my sister. Voodoo 5500 had superior image quality. Even the desktop was clearly better. Certainly true in the ATi vs Nvidia days as well. No longer true now, so not relevant any more.
The same reason opinions of people who owned Pentium 4/D and refused to buy Athlon XP+/A64 also don't matter.
Bought a Pentium 133 in 1995 then upgraded to a K6 233 whenever they came out and continued with AMD until I bought a Core 2 Duo E6550 in 2007. You're batting about .000 right now slugger.
5% faster than NV? Please, not a chance will NV loyalists switch for that.
That's not what within 5% means.
If you wanted the best of the best, you would have owned 9800XT, X850XT PE, X1950XTX, AIB 7970Ghz, and even possibly R9 295X2 since it was the fastest graphics card in the world for 6 months. I am guessing you owned none of these.
Referring above again. I admire how comfortable you are with being wrong. I did not own a 295X2. I will never go mGPU again after the 5870 XFire setup I had. Not an anti AMD thing, I wouldn't use Nvidia SLI either.
My post is actually on-topic since generation after generation we have the same posters criticizing AMD for not delivering good flagship GPUs, and yet even when AMD did deliver those cards, these gamers still didn't buy them! So their opinion on AMD's flagship GPUs is pretty much meaningless at this point.
Yawn, can you be any more repetitive? I love how everyone who doesn't own the cards you like don't have an opinion worth listening to according to you. Well, I've owned pretty much all of them, and you think my opinion is worthless, which makes you a hypocrite.
HD5870 and 7970 obliterated GTX280/285 and GTX480/580, respectively. 7970 slaughtered the 580 on launch date by 40-80%. Somehow, that was still not good enough. Shocking to an objective PC gamer.
I owned a Xfire 5870 setup and a 7970, yet I'm still waiting for you to call me an objective PC Gamer.
Now we have posters claiming that if Vega beats 1080Ti by 5%, it's enough? haha nice joke. Not happening because even when AMD delivered cards 30-80% faster, they still didn't bite.
Again, you are struggling with what
within 5% means. Here's a hint, it doesn't mean the same thing as faster by 5%.
If we go along with that logic, over the last 7 years of GPU history these same gamers would have had to purchase HD5870 and then HD7970.
You only asked me to post my history and no one else, so this had to be another personal shot at me which again was based on a false accusation by you of me.
The same people who keep dogging on AMD's GPUs for the last 10 years as always having some flaws aren't man enough to admit in public that they simply just buy NV cards. There is nothing wrong with that as long as the gamer owns up to it and stops pretending to be objetive.
Your ranting is really just getting stupid at this point. Now you're questioning my manhood over video card ownership. What is your problem? You want to talk about manning up? Let's see how much crow you eat here for everything you've wrongly assumed about me and falsely accused me of.
