IDK at first I was fine about the 8k cards, then tonight steve makes another thread quoting the worst oc by an idiot who kept freezing his computer and didn't know what he was doing. But have never quoted any of the good rumors by wccftech. They picked the worst one today and reported that. One week before launch and seems very targeted assault on AMD. I give them benefit of the doubt but two articles in one day one bey kyle and one by steve. It just seems like they are doing their best to attack in a quiet way..
Kyle has lost all credibility. He either is incompetent or a shill. He posted about Polaris supposedly being originally a Halo product and made statements that showed he did not understand the differences between the 14nm process AMD is using and the 16nm process Nvidia is using. Stating that it is supposed to be 30% faster etc.
Then he tries to say that AMD only recently started saying Polaris was targeted at the mainstream "because they were forced to." I forget what date he says, however someone posts proof they mentioned it at least as far back as December last year.
The price and performance are revealed and he posts the word, "Meh." That is some quality journalism.
I think he cannot believe that his company has been cut out of the game by AMD. Honestly, I do not blame them for it. Why should they waste their time?
I used to use H reviews all the time, then once Gameworks came along their entire bench started to become Gameworks titles. Starting with some Physx titles and eventually more than half of their games were being benched with Gameworks or Physx enabled.
Then they said that the Fury X was garbage because of 4GB.. but even their own review showed it doing very well at 4K. How can you post that the 4GB is holding the card back but show it winning the fps contest at the highest resolutions?
Kyle comes up with a conclusion and then attempts to fit the data to that conclusion instead of coming up with data and fitting his conclusion to that data.
I definitely think that some of the hype around Polaris is overdone, just like with every product launch including Nvidia's 1080 or AMD's Fury X, the best OC claims are probably not realistic. However, no matter the outcome it will not change Kyle's mind. His "credible sources" keep constantly feeding him bad news and yet the stock price keeps rocketing upwards, weird.
