I don't think ANYBODY getting the console contracts has ever done much for PC gaming one way or another. (or will do much for PC gaming beyond broadening the market of games as devs try to cash in)

No, I quit over a year ago. I have no connection to any gaming hardware or software vendor.
While my "Can NVIDIA survive the loss?!" post was indeed sarcastic, as you can see in the thread, most of us don't know who Club 3d is.
They're just not a big player in the graphics market, so...
I buy expensive parts sometimes because I'm a middle aged guy with dual professional incomes to spend and can throw away money on my hobbies.
If I were most people buying a high end rig, I'd buy...
What does it matter if I would use the cards? Off topic much?
Like I said:
Club 3d is an AIB.
NVIDIA has 2/3 of the AIB market, and less AIBS selling their cards.
So how can it be a smart...
I don't recall telling anybody to buy anything that costs $1000.. Obviously that stuff isn't bang for buck and if I wasn't in the position either my wife or I can pay the mortgage and bills, I...
And yet with these "impressive" droppings of NVIDIA they maintain a 64% add in board market share, so perhaps there were other reasons BFG went under.

People have been posting that games optimized for more physical cores on the upcoming consoles will have an advantage on AMD parts, so I thought a thread about how upcoming games might have an...
I think back then the thought was "More fps equals less variance in fps, so less microstutter". Which probably has some truth as less dips in framerate, but wouldn't impact on the runt frame...
Radon Pro not only ends micro stutter, it keeps your basement safe from dangerous gases!

I don't know why you're tri-fire is exempt from latency issues without citation....
They wouldn't name it "Vesuvius" if it wasn't prepared to bury the Earth with it's fiery wrath, boys.
This can only mean the utter destruction of all competitors.....or that marketing departments...
That does it! I am selling my gaming pcs and replacing them with boxes containing AMD APUs, before people see this article and realize they are now obsolete!
Or not.
What I am wondering is why...
From the preliminary results, it looks like it will make CFx like SLi in frame delivery, which is a big improvement. Will give CFx owners the experience they paid for without dicking around with...
There's nothing to debate. The runts are rendered too briefly to be seen, making the benchmarks irrelevant and the perceived frame rate half the reported.
My "guess" is pacing won't make a big...
As a guy who ended up selling one of my 7970s after seeing first hand what CFx was like, I'm not exactly CFx advocate.
I would say that until the FCAT tool came out, AMD likely didn't know the...
I don't know if MS cares if their public image is ruined, but this is great news for those of us who will be buying their kid both a PS4 and a XBox1.
I buy a fair amount of used games when they're...
Some likely will, some won't. There are games that favor AMD now, over both intel and NVIDIA.
They're harder to find, but they are out there. What I doubt here is that the console situation will...
It's not "ironic" at all.
I bought AMD CPUs for $1000 too- when they were worth $1000 because they were the market leaders.
And if AMD had a CPU out that cost $1000 when I bought that 990X that...
No. I'll say "Sounds good. This is a decent option.".
How about an analogy closer to the situation here then?
If NVIDIA rebrands the GTX580 the "899 Ultra" and releases an overclocked version...
That's my whole point here.
It would be one thing if intel sold stock clocked parts at 5GHz. They'd be market leader parts and at pretty much everything in life, you want "the best" you pay...
Yes, developers will forget about the companies that have 90% of the gaming CPU market, and 65% of the gaming GPU market altogether now.
Pretty soon those numbers will be reversed, because AMD has...
Is there a difference?
Fixed.
I don't get the "Sssshhh! Let's turn a blind eye to AMD trying to fleece noobs because they need the money!" attitude in this thread.
I also don't get "Hey I'll buy substandard parts because maybe...
