AMD vs. NVIDIA Flamewar Claims its First IRL Fatality

Feb 20th, 2017 05:02 Discuss (73 Comments)

A Russian man was convicted for murdering his friend over an argument they had over whose graphics card brand is better. Although this incident happened about a year ago, a court placed on official record that the fight that led to the murder was over graphics card brand loyalties. Aleksander Trofimov, hacked his friend Evgeny Lylin to death with a knife as things got heated way out of control between them. The two were under the influence of alcohol. Trofimov, got so offended by his friend's arguments over which GPU brand's cooling solution is better, that he stabbed him 11 times with a knife. Maybe keep your flame-wars on the Internet, where mods with bansticks can sort you out. We stab only your ego.

It's a shame , brand loyalty taking lives I mean I'd understand a ford owner killing a GM owner if they talked smack :P but GPU cooling systems wtf , they are all made to just do the job as Cheap as is practical.

Been a long day and a long long drive home ,I'm not a road rager but it does bother me ,clearly still in mind lol.
I'm yet to own a vapour chamber since I'm hooked on water so I'm spoiled and skint.

I just am dumbfounded by their debate, pro cards and not about performance but cooling, they were both wrong ,both their cards were cooled shit.
He is locked up isn't he , don't want a visit obviously.

yup to kill over a brand version is stupid as beating up a person because their political views are not the same as theirs

He didn't have "Game Ready" drivers and the game wouldn't start so

Nah, the drivers didn't have vodka runtime installed ...
... or maybe, the victim's last words were "Remind me, how much did you pay for your 1080?"

cryohellincAs a Russian I find this disgusting and shameful. You can behold the result of intellectuals’ purges, gulags, and 80 years of Communism.

I hate 95% of population of my country, because most of them are sadly Lumpenproletariat and its descendants.

P.S.
Love the amount of Russopobic hate in the comments. Keep it coming haters. :laugh:

You're a russian? I would call you persona non grata by the P.S you said. Pathetic.
