    AMD launches Zen+ 12nm Ryzen and X470 motherboards

    I wonder if the X based models are going to be more heavily binned than last time around. Only basing this off of the fact that a few non-X buyers are reporting 4ghz max overclocks while the 2700X owners seem to be able to to hit 4.3 with enough (probably unsafe) voltage.

    AMD launches Zen+ 12nm Ryzen and X470 motherboards

    So much debate over early half assed benchmarks.. wait a few weeks and get the real thorough reviews and save yourselves the headaches of arguing over this stuff.

    FuryX aging tremendously bad in 2017

    Fury X to me felt like a bit of a proof of concept / trial run for HBM. As an R9 290 owner, I remember getting the upgrade itch at the time and feeling a bit let down by Fury and Fury X. For one, I wanted something with more VRAM and the performance upgrade didn't seem worthwhile enough to...

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    It's interesting that instead of making a statement to the community to clear up any misconceptions about the GPP program NVIDIA is instead apparently contacting websites and trying to get them to dismiss or put a negative spin on the story. If it was all just a big misunderstanding and there...

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    Yeah, that's what I said in the post ;) AMD is clearly trying to put pressure on NVIDIA by bringing the story to the media, but if what Kyle is saying is true there could be legal action down the road as well.

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    Because there are a lot of people that keep coming back into the debate, 17 pages in, making the same arguments that entirely miss the point of Kyles article, causing these arguments to go in circles as we have to explain the basics of the entire issue to them. And they can decide to stay away...

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    I've never seen so many people salivating at the potential for a market leader to become an outright monopoly. The amount of comments from people trying to spin this into another "good business move" from NVIDIA is pretty telling. I mean the AIB's have been able to market their products as they...

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    I don't think this is necessarily true. Sure, NVIDIA might want you to differentiate it's products, but Asus wants you to buy an Asus, regardless of whether or not it's a "geforce" or if its "radeon"`. They want to establish the ROG brand so that you'll buy ROG products regardless of what chip...

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    The program details are pretty vague right now, obviously we're all guessing at how it could be implemented. If it was limited to something along the lines of what your suggesting I could see it not being as big of an issue. But if it was as simple as that, I don't think the AIB partners that...

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    I don't think there's any concern that they wouldn't remain an AIB partner, the concern is that they're essentially being pushed into joining or becoming a second class AIB partner while all the AIB partners in the program get preferential treatment.

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    To control the marketing, the brand recognition, to further push AMD into the "other", "budget", not the "default" gaming GPU that NVIDIA want's gamers to associate them with. That's a problem. "Oh hey Asus, you want to launch your GTX 2080 ROG Strix at the same time as EVGA's flagship? Ah shit...

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    With NVIDIA's current market share being what it is, no one is going to do that. That's exactly the problem. They're using their current market share advantage to try and get an even larger stranglehold on the market. Is Asus going to give NVIDIA the middle finger and lose 70% of their GPU...

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    Let's be real here though, those benefits could leave the vendors that don't participate in a serious disadvantage. It might come to a point where they really don't have the option of not participating if they want to remain competitive. This program really isn't great if we want the GPU market...

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    People already associate Geforce with NVIDIA, so when someone buys an Asus ROG Geforce whatever, they know what they're getting. Asus has spent time and money developing the ROG brand and if you look at their product lineup the vast majority fall under that ROG Strix category. This basically...

    AMD launches Zen+ 12nm Ryzen and X470 motherboards

    The only thing I think people should consider is, while they definitely could be fake, I wouldn't put it past an AMD PR guy to whip this thing together by taking an existing slide and just modifying it to your new/current lineup. Laziness is a thing among professionals in any industry :p
