Compared to the poll in the CPU forum, we get a very clear anti-NV backlash.
On the CPU side, Intel dominates the marketshare, so they have a lot of users who are Intel biased, but interestingly, a lot more are neutral, no favoritism due to AMD being an underdog, but simply going for the better CPU.
On the GPU side, NV dominates the marketshare, but most people are either against NV or neutral, due to the often cited reason of "NV's shady business".
Why?
GameWorks has angered a lot of gamers, even NV ones, you notice this on steam, reddit and other forums, where GW is dismissed as being poorly optimized, made to gimp performance and shove planned obsolescence at gamers.
Despite this backlash, NVIDIA is doubling down on even more shady tactics, now aimed at discrediting DX12 with two very shoddy/broken sponsored DX12 ports: GOW and Tomb Raider.
It seems they will only get the message when it affects their bottom lines. I look forward to the next gen, will put my $ where my ethics align to and go with Polaris.
This is only true for this forum, which is not unexpected. Post the same poll say at NeoGaf, watch AMD get CREAMED.
Hell, i was reading a thread there with people openly saying they're waiting for the next Titan. Haha. These are the type of customers AMD wishes they could get.
