No man look at the wording in the poll. "if you were able to buy a GPU right now, which of the things might be most important to you? " so 23% (not 30%) of those buying will buy a GPU with higher RT performance (irrespective of raster performance) I am further adding an assumption that this is...

Sorry i didnt mean to get personal (i dont see how that post implies that either), but i dont consider you a fool I think it becomes a binary option (it talks about buying decision so 77% of those taking the poll will buy a GPU if it has a higher raster performance in the price range...

That doesnt change the basic logic of my argument (i registered it as 27% in a hurry) 23% gamers are interested in RT performance or 77% not interested in RT performance whats your interpretation.. how would you approach your review content? the hypothesis still remains the same Edit: btw...

There was a twitter straw poll that approx 30% of gamers are interested in RT Now this can also be interpreted as 70% of gamers are not interested How would you have interpreted this?

How does it matter? The email explicitly makes suggestions to "tow the editorial line" and thus this brouhaha over press freedom it could have as well been a tersely worded email or no email at all

thats what i thought initially as well, they could have as well ghosted him, instead of sending a badly worded email.. will check that out when i cool down a bit :D ---- i got sucked into this controversy due to reviewers providing glowing reviews for cyberpunk and look at how it turned out, i...

I dont see how this is an attack on press freedom, the tech press can source these samples from normal channels and then still publish reviews. But i fully understand that this might result in loss of revenues for the press.. as the coverage wont grab as much attention as launch day reviews Also...

Nope, if he doesnt get those cards on time it might mean a much bigger loss to him and all reviewers of his stature The cost of those cards is immaterial, he can even buy one at twice or thrice or even five times the price, if he can smuggle one before official release He is clearly protecting...

yes.. i will list down few logical fallacies: Fallacy 1 you are okay with linus talking about nvidia's sales dependency but then you say that he neednt mention his own earnings because everyone with "half a brain" knows about it Fallacy 2 "The whole point of stating that fact was to...

Okay maybe i should try to generalise, lets take a random reviewer A with a large subscriber base.. if "cost" is not a a factor how do you expect it to have any impact on A's assessment? :) if "cost" is not a factor how do you expect Nvidia to leverage it as retaliatory measure? :) (and dont...

That's actually redundant.. Linus values the "availability" of the sample much more than its "cost", because it is "availability" that contributes to his millions, compared to which the "cost" is chump change and is not even inside the consideration set when Linus negotiates his terms.

Selective transparency is not really something i am happy with. Selective transparency is sometime worse than no transparency. I am just riled up that these folks are just "using" the internet peasantry for unilateral gains.. lets revist Linus' arguments: A review is supposed to be a...

I came across a no-AVX mod discussion on GOG forums, seems like it has been able to reduce CPU utilisation by a fair bit, maybe you can try that as well.

i am all fine with folks running business, but i only expect them to be honest and not use the well earned social capital for power projection. Linus and the reviewer-cartel could have just negotiated privately with nvidia, but no, they chose to make an impassioned but dishonest public plea to...

Thats gotten into self-contradictory territory: Scenario A: Reviewers are not able to buy a card for weeks after launch. Conclusion: Theres no "real" demand for "professional" reviews as folks are anyhow buying hardware without looking at reviews Scenario B: Theres's "real" demand for...

They arent too bothered about the price of the card.. but the millions that they might lose by not having a launch day or pre-release coverage Linus is just making one-sided arguments, without pre-release CPU/GPU/Laptop videos his media biz might get downsized, thats his main concern His...

You are counting those chicks too early.. it could be a successfully negotiated PR move by nvidia.. Nvidia: you got to take RT/DLSS more seriously HU: Yes, but give me something that looks like a win Nvidia: Formal apologies sent

I saw his tweets.. too personal for my taste, namecalling and stuff maybe thats what "professional" reviewers are supposed to do. I couldnt like the kind of unionised behaviour of the reviewer-cartel. Dont have a card fvkin buy it.. but thats not the real problem is it? its abt having those...

They stop production when the ASIC goes EOL

It's dx12's fault. Dx12 seems like an API meant for uber nerds at id software the rest are just going to choke on it. There's no point building proprietary game engines anymore due to increased development complexity, just license one from the market.
