It is silly from your side to prefer air rather than water. You know that lower temperatures have positive effects - they lower power consumption and increase life time.
But these things are mysteries for you.
Probably you are typing just to argue with someone who has better points than you.
I got used to your points and honestly - I am sick of them and want something better.
Two words: Prove it.
Lower temperatures have positive effect: Theoretically true, but a non-point. Cards without extreme overclocking generally have fans and TIM fail before thermal degredation. Additionally, you could theoretically clock you GPU at 200 MHz and decrease power consumption drastically. You'd have a GPU that might well last you your entire life. Of course, that'd be stupid. After a few years GPU performance is dramatically better. Additionally, under clocking would mean your card can't really run any modern games, but superior users have imagination, no. All they need is a text based RPG and they can imagine the rest of it. Kinda seems like cards are clocked such that performance is as good as possible, with the intended lifetime before most cards die being 3-5 years. Overclockers might burn through that lifetime faster, but the replacement cycle generally reaps cards before physics.
You have "better points" than me: In what strange world do you live? Perhaps it's different, where the physical laws of the universe are somehow fundamentally different. Cooling with water is not better than cooling with air, because it's the same physical process. An area of higher thermal energy has a fluid of lower thermal energy pass over it. Due primarily to conductive transference, a part of the thermal energy is transferred to the fluid, and the fluid is moved from the object. The things that influence how much energy is transferred is the thermal capacity of the fluid, the surface area of contact, and the velocity the fluid is flowing. As such, given enough time and resources I could design an air cooler that beats any water cooler on the market. This is physics in action, and your statement about water is better than air demonstrates you are either ignorant or an idiot. Hopefully the former, but given our past discourse the later.
You want something better: Yeah, so do I. I want real engineers to have a crack at the Fury, and have them show us what it could be. By your logic, once a single car is put out on the market we should be done. No SUVs, no trucks, no motorcycles, we only need a motorized one seat car. That's limiting the playing field, because you're too stubborn or have something up your sleeve that you aren't sharing. In the case of the former, you're killing potential sales with inflexibility. In the case of the later, you are trying to demonstrate how clever you are by lopping of the end of your nose. Stupidity through and through. Or perhaps I'm reading this point wrong.
Maybe your logic is that we only need one video card from each team. Nobody wants the 960, 970, 280, 380, 390, 930, or the plethora of other cards. We only need the 980 and Fury competing. Everyone playing PC games should own one of these two cards, and the day they are released every other card should automatically combust. Heck, we only need one card from each team. Let's all make our computers shoot us, should the Steam survey detect anything but the latest piece of hardware in our system.
No matter how I look at your point, it is backwards. Choices are demonstrably what consumers want, and choices actually make things sell. Market research proved this year ago. If you don't agree, walk down a grocery store pasta aisle, and tell me how many brands have only one formulation. How many have just chunky, just smooth, or even just extra thick. None. There is no perfect pasta sauce, and there should be no perfect Fury. You should choose the one that best fits you. AMD is taking this choice away, and it is stupid.
Let's be frank. You've demonstrated unflinching loyalty to a brand that has not earned it. You've demonstrated a fundamental lack of understanding of physics, so much that your understanding of anything must first be given as a matter of faith. You've dismissed accurate criticism, because in your own head there is one right answer, and you always have it. You've done all this completely unflinchingly, and without ever admitting to the vast gulf between your knowledge and abilities. I can't even begin to ascribe anything to you but an unfounded zealotry that could potentially make a suicide bomber slightly jealous.
Realizing that this is inflammatory, perhaps I should end here. You have demonstrated almost no reasonable opinions, and when asked where you come from you wave your hands in the air and call anyone asking questions an idiot. Please, peddle your brand of crap elsewhere. I can take Nvidiots. I can take die hard members of the Red team. I can even stand members of the Intel superior race. What I can't take is people who won't admit they are wrong, and those people who when confronted with their error fling crap at anyone who pointed it out. You are a member of the group of people I despise.
I might have to go Fury or 290X.
