NVIDIA Ampere GA102-300-A1 GPU Die Pictured

[Dristun]

Very ironic to see comments from team red fans about the lack of "pure" performance in a flagship card seeing that they still don't have one that beats 1080ti.

Truth be told i go by what others have said.

That sums it up about most NVIDIA/Intel criticism from AMD fans: "I've heard someone say something". No real citations, no real hard data, no stats - nope, a YouTube clip from a no-namer will "suffice". That also sums it up about AMD GPUs and how "issue-free" they are.

<rant>

Meanwhile:

• We continue to have outright broken drivers (for the RX 5000 series) and relatively high fault-rate - I had more issues with with my RX 5600 XT for the five months I had it than I've had with NVIDIA for more than 22 years that I've used NVIDIA's products.
• We continue to have outright broken BIOS releases (read the comments in r/AMD about new BIOS releases for X570/B550 chipsets - I can give the links if you're interested) - random reboots, instability at advertised XMP clocks, etc. - also enjoy this tidbit from an ASUS representative, no, actually read the whole announcement. Sends shivers down my spine.
• We continue to "enjoy" lies about Intel/NVIDIA performance
• We continue to "enjoy" lies about AMD products power efficiency - when in fact NVIDIA on an inferior node is better (the GTX 16XX series)
• AMD has the guts to lie about their CPUs TDP

Let's flood the thread with five dozen more messages and silly pictures how NVIDIA is ripping everyone off. Or this citation taken out of the context, "You save by buying more" which is actually correct if you knew the circumstances. Consider a computational center: when you buy more current-gen NVIDIA GPUs/computational accelerators you ... save on your electricity bills, space (which surprise also costs money), maintenance (less equipment is easier to maintain) and win on performance.

It's appalling what has happened to websites like TPU, AnandTech and others. We used to have an intelligent debate, a fair comparison based on merits of respective products.

Nowadays it has all turned to utter crap. AMD fanboys willing to express their inanities and lies everywhere. People voting sane comparisons off (see the recent hardware unboxed poll about which CPU to use in upcoming GPU comparisons - the slower Ryzen 9 3950X has won over the Intel Core i9 10900K which is faster in absolute most games).

WTF is going on? Why don't moderators of the respective websites intervene? A bystander may get the impression that AMD is top of the world, makes best in class, unrivaled products with impeccable quality.

If they were smart, they'd use TSMC for higher tier 3090 maybe 3080 and use samsung for the lesser variants.

Seems like you had some venting to do when you assumed i was an AMD fanboy for daring to question Nvidia. When in fact i've been running GTX 1080 since 2016 and will most likely upgrade to Ampere this year unless AMD suprises with Big Navi in terms of price or efficiency. Before that i had 7870. And before that i had 8800 for a long time.

I've always bought what made sense at the time. Am i completely impartial? Ofcorse not. Everyone has some bias to a degree. I bought Sandy Bridge at the time when AMD CPU's sucked. I bought Pascal when AMD was not competing at that level (sorry but Vega64 was not good enough). Im not buying a product simply because im a fanboy of the company. If a company makes a good product and i need an upgrade i will buy it. Fermi was not a good product. AMD FX was very bad. Turing was dissapointing. Im hoping Samsungs process is good but seeing 3x8pin and massive coolers attached (relative to previous FE models not 3rd party ones) it does not instill confidence.

Because normal sane person wont engage in crazed fan debates. Chill man, let the fanboys burn up themselves

I love how you phrase it, "they still don't have" as if a company and their fans are the same, one cohesive unit. It's not just AMD's products, it's also "theirs", very communist sounding.

I'm not sure about the reason but AMD fanboys are usually very loud and crazy, much louder than fanboys of other companies in existence today. AMD may have a secret here.

Why do we suddenly have all these nonsensical posts about "AMD fanboys" in a thread about Ampere?

Which statement has triggered them?

Problably my statement about GTX 480's dying triggered a certain user to go on a rant about something.

lol. I was going to ask the same question. their delusional is beyond my comprehension.

on topic, I wonder how much price they asked for this newborn Titan.

The irony is you sound like one yourself.
