7 things NVIDIA doesn’t want you to know

[LtMatt]

This just popped up on twitter...

For some time I’ve tried to ignore NVIDIA’s unfounded bragging, but it’s impossible not to react. This is because NVIDIA ranks high on the list of tech-companies that send out wrong marketing messages.

I think NVIDIA is company that creates great products, but has a marketing-department that harms them in the long term. I think they crossed the line between marketing and lying, with two feet. I think the company’s ethics are simply too low.

My personal goal is to get them back to OpenCL, so developers can then focus on one language for all accelerators.

I want you to know, that you need to double check everything what vendors claim. Via this blog I’ll share my insights to help you better understand this market, the technologies behind and all the potential of accelerators like GPUs, FPGAs and DSPs.

Had other members put up a thread like this maybe suggesting AMD of similar things, the thread would have been deleted and likely the poster being given a holiday for attempting to troll

I don't think most AMD users are that bothered really, i know I'm not when i see something negative said against the company that produces the gpu's i use. It's just one man's blog/opinion at the end of the day.

 

[LtMatt]

Hmm, next time you go on a crusade if someone mentions AMD in a negative light I will remind you of this post you made

Life goes on Broom.

It's just an article laying some fair criticisms i think. If that is against any specific rule here then i apologise and understand if it has to be locked.

EDIT

Ha, Thundy. 10 out of 10 for creativity.

Nice new username bro.

Love the new name matt

Nice new username bro.

 

[LtMatt]

Get used to it because I will not be changing it back. Oh and welcome to the green team.

Why has it been changed exactly?

 

[LtMatt]

Surely that's against some sort of rules? It's against his will.

I'm shocked and appalled!

 

[LtMatt]

All the bots are coming in strong now, Matt you doomed

Soon this be known as Nvidiaclockers.co.uk

 

[LtMatt]

HA HA!

OMG Lol.

 

[LtMatt]

Seems that way, we getting singled out. Abandoned site

I blame Greg, i knew we were all doomed as soon as he became an underboss.

He's pretending he ain't bothered but inside he is bubbling with rage

I'll take it on the chin, so long as it's not a permanent thing.

 

[LtMatt]

I for one object to the renaming!
It will now take twice as long to type his name any time we need to talk to him or refer to him.
So in the interests of this I would ask that it be changed to "NVIDIA" as that keeps it at the old length...

Hush you, it's bad enough already.

 

[LtMatt]

Noooooooooooooooooooo.

That is worse than a suspension, it's a life sentence.

I didn't break any rules, so i guess this was all they could do. Trouble is, this is worse Lol.

 

[LtMatt]

In fairness ThundyCat only said that he will not be changing it back, not that nobody will.

Interesting to see how long it stays though.

Has anyone told Roy...

Fair point, i guess trying to butter up Thundy is useless then.

 

[LtMatt]

Oh please make that permanent

Don't encourage it Lol!

 

[LtMatt]

Now if only someone could alter your sig to suit

After this i guess anything is possible.

 

[LtMatt]

^^ Slanderous lol Greg!

Sharpen the image please Greg.

Nooooooooooooo.

Ok Thundy you win, please let me get my name back.

EDIT

This is like a million kicks in the crotch all at once.

 

[LtMatt]

That is a slight improvement to be fair.

 

[LtMatt]

You need to ask for a free Nvidia gpu LT so you can live upto your name

Good on ya for taking it well

I could make a new version of The Fixer.

 

[LtMatt]

Not really, he's now posting using his iPad

Hey i don't have an iPad.

 

[LtMatt]

How can I start a campaign: "Free the Nvidia one!"?

Good question and i for one welcome this campaign.
