No, I'm really not.
This is even a rebuttal. "Yes they are." "No they aren't". Doesn't qualify as an intelligent discussion. Pure childish banter.
All the AMD fans crying over cards they never bought (and never intended to buy).
This is a baseless claim in an attempt to deflect the topic and somehow make this someone else's fault besides nVidia. This isn't about AMD. This isn't about the people who are discussing it. It's about nVidia and their proven slimy business practices.
Now, give me one example of someone making it out to be any sort of an "apocalyptic" occurrence.
As much as you do, amirite? "Oh no, he isn't on the NV hate bandwagon. Burn the heretic!" An NV omission about 500MB of slow VRAM is worth this much drama? Even the 970 owners aren't going on about it as much as you guys, and they have a legitimate reason to complain.
This is what you said, "This is trying to head-off the pitchfork-swinging mob at the pass, AT doesn't need that crap." Find where I said I'm trying to do anything for the sake of AT? I'll wait.
You mean like how AMD misled customers about the number of Bulldozer cores? That was much worse than a 500MB block of slower VRAM. How about their lies regarding the performance of the 300 series? How they purposely crippled the 980 with irrelevant tests at still-unplayable 4K settings (completely ignoring 1080p and 1440p, resolutions that players in the market for those cards actually use), in official press releases.
Moral of the story? All tech companies omit information, and it's a crappy practice. AMD isn't special, they've done their fair share of it too.
Customers are also served by competitive products, where are AMD's new GPUs to fill the upper tier markets right now? (Which was the entire point of my statement to begin with; they're allowing NV to walk all over them, completely conceding that whole market segment).
This isn't about AMD This also isn't any kind of a rebuttal about the topic at hand. It's pure childish deflection. "But mommy, Jonny does it too."
Your reply isn't even a discussion.
