Dell and HP Not Interested in Jumping on the NVIDIA GPP Bandwagon
Our colleague Kyle Bennett from HardOCP has spoken with his trusted industry sources and found out that big names like Dell and HP haven't penned the deal with NVIDIA to join the GeForce Partner Program (GPP). HP recently introduced their updated Pavilion Gaming lineup with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics card options, which goes to show that the computer giant hasn't aligned its gaming brand exclusively with NVIDIA. On the other hand, their Omen Gaming boxes weren't available with AMD graphics cards, which Kyle has noted could be a product of a supply issue. In other news, NVIDIA hasn't been able to convince Lenovo, one of the big three OEMs, to join their cause either. Lenovo Legion gaming products were still listed on their website with graphics cards from the red team. HardOCP has reached out to NVIDIA once again to inquire about which brands have comitted to GPP, but they were met with silence.
While brands like ASUS, Gigabyte, and MSI are siding with NVIDIA, Dell and HP are the real big players in the game. No other manufacturer comes close to purchasing and moving the amount of mid-end and low-end graphics cards from NVIDIA like those two do. It doesn't really come as a surprise why NVIDIA wants them to jump onboard so desperately. Kyle's behind-the-scene conversations with this sources suggest that neither Dell or HP will NVIDIA twist their arms as they consider GPP to be unethical and illegal.

we are still getting the same performance/price since 2012. single gpu prices went from 400$ to 3000$..
yea Nvidia also reuse/modify exisiting architectures...but was long ago..
For ex GTX 760 -> gtx 960 -> gtx 1060
They ve been giving solid 25%+ increase in performance every year while getting more & more efficient.
i dont see where there's a decrease in performance or effeciency..
while AMD
RX 270 -> RX 370 (Same ...$#!$)
RX 470 -> 570-> 570X (Same...)
while every Gen keeps getting less efficient..they just keep pulling power power to push for that 5% Performance..(not so innovative eh)
290x/390x Hawaii silicon was replaced by the 480 at roughly double the performance per watt. Some of the later 580 silicon and current drivers depending on game put it at a better performance per watt than pascal. Vega is horribly under utilized and while a massive portion of that can and will fall onto AMD for releasing yet again a general purpose shader instead of nvidias stripped down gaming shaders the point still stands for raw performance. A vega FE 4096 shader unit does outperform even a GP100 based unit on the compute side of the world. The issue is showing that in games.
If Nvidia gets their way we'll have go back to that situation. They've learned from "the best".
Actually when AMD released the 4xx and 5xx series the performance per watt dramatically increased not to mention the total overall wattage used dropped. So again you saying and I quote "while every Gen keeps getting less efficient..they just keep pulling power power to push for that 5% Performance.." is again a false statement.
So in conclusion I believe you said it best with "i am not sure if your getting it right..or your just ignorant.." but this time I am referring to you and your understanding of current GPU situation. It is very apparent that you are an Nvidia fan, which is fine, but when it comes down to comparing different company's your preference needs to stay in the back ground and compare just the facts and the facts say you are really not caught up on both company's, performance / architecture and how the company's are currently operating.
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about, this has nothing to do with banning Nvidia, more like the opposite.You must have forgot about Nvidia's 9800, which was renamed / rebranded like 5 times. FYI RX 500X series is OEM only, I fail to see how it even effects you as a consumer./facepalm
FYI "RX 270" and "RX 370" aren't even real cards.
The 570X is not a replacement for the 570. The 500X series is OEM ONLY. It's becoming apparent that only about half the people in the comments actually read the articles they claim to know about.
Just an FYI post.
Nvidia may have faster high end GPUs, but in no way can anybody claim Vega is not good for PC gaming. Its approx: 70% faster versus the RX 480 and 69% faster versus the RX 580. AMD will eventually come out with a top dog product to better combat the less than 1% high end GPU market. In the meantime, the 99% mainstream will have to do.All thanks to Nvidia overpricing GPUs. Vega is highly innovative. Unfortunately, it also requires specific programming so it can be fully utilized. Vega today is ridiculously underutilized.
What AMD needs is to come out with a GPU that will have the same effect as the ZEN via the CPU market. Hopefully by 2020 we will see such a GPU. Despite Nvidia's intentions for GPP, it was the wrong move. They are essentially kicking a company that's been somewhat struggling with the GPU high end segment, AMD.

You do not even need to flash them for them to work in SLI

Some chips received the b designation but there was no difference in the hardware, it was a BIOS different only.
Also, wheres AIB after 8months? This make me sake.
