NVIDIA Starts Disinformation GPP Campaign

The guy in this video has some really demented ideas about business.

 

This is the one thing that I've always loved about [H], there is no fanboy-esque approach to your journalism. Just straight up telling it how it is and any enthusiasm is truly legit.

All in all, your haters make you famous!

 

There is a good reason why most business schools require there students to read The Art of War.

 

I'm going to guess that Nvidia will be sending you pretty much nothing to review going forward lol. Nvidia is simply too big to give a shit at the moment. They'll get a slap on the wrist at best but will continue their shady ways since AMD simply can't do anything about it.

 

Big bucks? SWEET!

When do you retire?

 

Fucking dispicable is the only word I can come up with.

 

The harder the deflect the more guilty they seem to me.

Kyle is no schill , good try GPP

 

If I have to wait 2 years for AMD to have a card that is an upgrade to my 1080 Ti , then I will wait 2 years to buy another video card.

 

I really hope AMD can come out with a killer new GPU that will bury Nvidia in the hole they have dug themselves.

 

So there is no amd branded viper coming then Kyle?

Fuck Nvidia is playing dirty.

 

Amd needs a GTX1060 killer, that'd put the nail in coffin as thats where the biggest market is.

 

You mean maybe something like the RX580?

 

It's sad that when YOU PUT IT IN WRITING that AMD asked you to check into it, that people read that and interpret it as "AMD PAID ME TO LOOK INTO IT."

 

Kyle, as you and Elric have alluded to, if things smell so rosy over at NV with GPP then why aren't they proclaiming this great new era?

All the power to you man! If not for you I wouldn't have had a clue what was happening down the road.

I love the cards I have now but I've got some serious doubts if I'll be buying green again. Only time and ethical action by them will change me back.

 

I don't get it. To me this is a hyped non story. It's all about branding. Nvidia isn't saying anyone can't make or sell AMD gpus, they just don't want them in the same bucket.

AMD is upset because they can't ride the coat tails of a better product.

Nvidia is upset because there's a fly in their soup.

That basically sums it up.

 

Not sure what to do about and vid card now. I won't buy Nvidia, but I'm not an AMD fan. Sigh.

 

I know I keep bringing this up and I can feel many groan 'not this again. . . .uggg!' but honestly if AMD could simply incorporate mgpu support that doesn't rely on game support it would end this strategy real quick. Two or three of their current best cards could easily outperform a single x80 or x80TI and people like me would happily invest into it. Sure we all would like the single gpu solution that does all and honestly its just really feeding NV's greed. Deny them that strategy and they'll crumple like a house of cards.

 

I'm pretty sure this will bring a shit storm. The EU is always quick to fine American tech companies. Great work Kyle. I hope NVidia chokes on its greed.

 

That's pretty funny. Are they taking marketing queues from what was that company.. Phaeton?

 

On that note, all they have to do is build a GPU that is better... Its not like there are billions of active components inside these gpus arranged in some magical way that makes them display electronic images of 3 dimensional scenes. Kindergarten classes should be able to do this.

 

reddit is always hating on kyle, either it's the amd fanboys, radeon fanboy's, intel fanboy's or nvidia fanboy's.. worrying about what people say on reddit is a poor use of time and energy.

 

And the drivers, it's all plain text in the source code - we've been making files with just text for years. What's the problem man? Maybe not enough brackets and semicolons?

 

That’s great! Except dispicable isn’t a word.

Sorry I’m only poking fun because you’re staff and post news with your own written blurbs. Lord knows I’m not good with grammar myself.

Kyle: the hero we need....and frankly probably the hero we deserve as well. Let’s face it we’re a buncha jerks and so is he. Perfect.

Edit.

Interesting factoid. That article is a year old today!

 

The thing I don't understand is why push gpp? It seems greedy and pointless to try to over push your advantage unless amd has something coming that they might be worried about?

 

Wait is there a new version of the 1060 ? lol

The point is as far as performance and MSRP pricing goes AMD has a legit answer to every single NV card save the 1080ti. But that was a choice to not play the figure head card game. Each company used to go back and forth binning their yields to the point of stupidity to release a a bit higher stock clocked card and claim the crown. AMD did the logical thing and said this is stupid, we don't care if you have the fastest card on the planet with no stock anywhere. (granted NV seems to be shipping 1080tis decently these days... that doesn't make it any less a reaction to V64 release) AMD could have binned the v64s a bit more and released a card to do battle with the 1080tis... but why NV could perhaps find a way to release a 1085 and all AMD would be doing is eating the supply of chips they are using in Radeon Pro 9100 / SSG cards which they are also having a hard time supplying due to demand (the radeon pros have the quatro cards beaten down right now easily for anyone dealing with 8k video or large data set 3D work)

The main issue AMD has right now in relation to gamers... is their cards are also hands down the better mining cards. (no I don't blame AMD for adding mining features to their drivers... like it or not that market is also a perfectly viable one). Getting an AMD card even 580s or V56s at MSRP is next to impossible we all know that. Yes its silly that the market wants = or more $ for v64 as 1080ti if your looking at the pricing through the eyes of a gamer, through the eyes of a miner that makes perfect sense the V64 is the better compute card.

 

I imagine it what done by somebody with some clout there, with the negative press and attention the program has been receiving (and Nvidia's silence on the subject), you'd think they would've killed it or 'clarified' the program (to make it seem less anti-competitive). Or perhaps they know something about their competitors (AMD + Intel) that we don't.

 

As long as their stock continues to go up and make me money, who the fuck cares.

Get off your GPP mountain already and move on. I’ve been coming to this site since the 90s or so and it’s gotten away from news and gone pure editorial in every single post you guys link as “news”. Everything thing you guys post has some damn comment about the story. Look at Bluesnews, they don’t have an opinion on anything they post. Just facts. It’s like NBC nightly news on this site.

 

The idea that AMD was 'riding on the coattails' of Nvidia is fanboy ideology. Nobody 'mistakes' a Strix 580 for a Strix 1060. Asus built that brand. Asus designs manufactures the PCBs, designs and manufactures the cooling, designs and manufactures the power delivery, the packaging, the marketing.

The chip and only the chip is the part that the OEM did not design, manufacture and distribute.

The difference between an ROG 1060 and an Aurous 1060 is not the 1060 part. The thing that sways the customer choice is the branding of the manufacturer, The features, build and reliability of the manufactured product. The GPU silicon is easily the least significant part of the equation when it comes to comparing the quality of a brand versus another.

This GPP is basically Nvidia trying as hard as they can to kick AMD off of the quality, gamer-oriented branding. Not because they want 'transparency' but because they don't want AMD associated with quality. When they force OEMs to not include AMD in their gamer-oriented branding,

 

Well, if you don't like the blog find another?

 

If Nvidia cared so much about "customer confusion" or whatever bullshit then they should be the ones offering to lead up a new sub-brand, not forcing companies to surrender their own brand to Nvidia's control and demands.

 

You.

 

Yeah AMD payed kyle, i may be wrong but isnt amd still upset with [H] and not sending them review samples ??

ill never understand big business, to me all nvidia needs to do is just keep releasing great graphic chips and they will continue to keep raking in the dough . but i guess thats not good enough anymore and you have to manipulate the market just because making killer gpus is not enough to keep you busy .

 

With all of the information out right now, I would really like to hear an opinion from an attorney that specializes in this. We have to take classes at work all the time on what is legal and illegal when dealing with different companies across the world, and I can tell you that this would definitely fall under the illegal category.
