AdoredTV at it again - Over an hour long video about Nvidia's business practices.

Yeah but I like the disassembly and hot testing sections, I don't think they do that on TPU, I admit disassembly is kind of unnecessary, I just think it is neat to look inside.

Just looking at the most recent PSU review on TPU (Cougar GX-F 750W) there's definitely disassembly and the Load regulation and Efficiency Measurements section is hot testing

Thanks for the info, it has been awhile since I have checked any reviews. Seasonic 750w Titanium was my last buy, so pretty much am retired from PSU business for years to come. It really doesn't get any better than that. It is nice to know I can read TPU though, only improvement I would like to see is actual thermal imaging of VRM's on motherboard reviews, and TPU would definitely be the only website I need, lol

I have to admit, I am amazed by all the experts here at TPU. How could someone go anywhere else?

my sarcasm detector blipped.

I'm an expert... Just ask all the dead hardware in my closet.

I've heard the skeletons still play Pong in there, I bet their hardware reviews are deadly.

Thank you both, that laugh was needed!

At the end of the day, Nvidia still has the superior cards and thats what I base my buying decisions on. Its almost become farcical seeing many stating ethical reasons for not buying Nvidia. Same occurred with Intel in the first few years after Conroes release, until they could no longer ignore the performance advantage. Then most went Intel and ditched their ethics argument in the bin. I have a feeing same will occur with Nvidia sooner or later.

So most didn't already choose performance over ethics, Nvidias market share says not many are guided by ethics.
I call farcical someone commenting on stuff they have not watched yet somehow disagree with personally but hey ho.

Some held on and still voted via the medium of cash .

I've seen this myself. Of course, there are the diehards that stick to their principles but those people are in the minority.

They made valid points based on observations. You can disagree all you want, doesn't make them wrong.

He does it for views. His numbers are always far from everyone elses.

Nah, it's not a conspiracy.

Ah... by implied admission, you've watched the entire 1hr+ vid? You mean theres more to it than what its title states (Nvidia - Anti-Competitive, Anti-Consumer, Anti-Technology)? By a Youtuber who has an established track record with similar vids and very clear position where he stands? OK... just not sure ANY topic about ANY company could compel me to spend an hour of my time on, regardless of who its from or any pros or cons that may be part of it. Would have to be a topic very dear and important to me with a clear vested interest in it for me (and certainly far more important in my life than any HW company can be). But hey, if you felt it worth your while, guess thats what counts. Now you are brimming with all the important facts and info that you can validly base your next ethical HW purchase on (if you werent already).

Yet you have time to pass judgement on here, based on what then a title, this converasation is over buddy dont quote me im not talking to someone about something they cant be arsed finding out about, as i said in other posts i lived through and remember all the facts already.

I did'nt need to watch the video because i'm That Old, But i did. goodbye.

I knew about a few of those things (the more "public" ones) but most i didn't know of.

I already disliked nVidia due to their pricing scheme (they keep insisting to price "mid-range" cards @ high prices): this video just made me dislike them more, that's all.

Price manipulation is my biggest dislike dude, and presently because Nvidia mapped its market Wrong were all expected to buy two year old tech at still 20% inflated prices now ,only for a few more months so they can bring out Next gen in August at Higher prices, im not buying their f up i tell thee.

Sheeple are blinded by stats ,fps and bs so often.
