I wouldn't be seen dead in an nVidia t-shirt never mind AMD.

EDIT: You really don't understand my position on this, I have no problem with AMD in a general sense, I admire their ability to do business even when for instance under immense pressure from intel that would have killed a lesser company, and I think they make great hardware, my contention with AMD has always been the lack of support they traditionally have put behind developers, while making big headlines and promises they never live upto, if they sorted that I wouldn't have a bad thing to say about them.

Are they not doing enough for you? they are in partnership with the majority of game developers, (CryTek have been public in their appreciation of AMD's help in Crysis 3) a lot of the games released recently are AMD titles, they have developed new graphics goodies like lighting and shadow effects, not to mention SteesFX.
The Drivers have been rock solid for months, they said they would fix Latency issues on Single GPU's and they have, they said they would fix Xfire and they are working on it.

They have been working with software developers like Adobe to add new things into their products......

There comes a point when (despite what they are doing) a person keeps saying "they aren't doing enough" it raises eye brows

8870 looks like just re branded 7870 xt with higher clock speed .

8970 & 8950 prices bit steep ;/ , could be all 50 $ cheaper

Yip. that's exactly what the 8870 looks like.

Not sure how anyone can defend Nvidia's latest drivers :p

I don't think anyone is defending the Drivers, no... that would be the icing on the cake.

It's been about 6 months since Roy Taylor joined them, and he'll be the driving force behind that improved developer support. As long as he's there it will continue in my view.

Roy Taylor and Rory Read have been a god send.

Roy Taylor is actually from Nvidia and Rory Read is a throwback from the good old Athlon XP days now returned to AMD.

Both of them are very good at what they do, and I think it shows in AMD's new momentum even if some would argue there isn't any, I would argue there defiantly is now.
 
Yes, that's ^^^^ exactly what he's doing, and it is funny.

I think you misunderstand. By using the hash tags and then not releasing any information about graphics cards is just building up hype and then delivering nothing.

He / They did not say, nor ever did say anything about discrete Desktop GPU's and any sort of announcement at E3 or any other time.

So they never built up any hype about GPU's, that was us speculating that they might have something like that to say at E3.

If you're talking about an upcoming announcement with hash tags of Radeon/GeForce it's implying only one thing, whichever way you spin it.
Click to expand...

What are you talking about? (# tag Radeon/GeForce) are Radeon/GeForce Twitter accounts, he's Tweeting at those accounts, there has not been a single "upcoming GPU announcement" tweeted.
If however you have seen such a thing please do share, i'm very interested.

Just tweeting random stuff at people is,- just tweeting random stuff at people, what on earth are YOU reading into that? there is nothing at all about new GPU's in any of it.

You're so defensive about AMD it's actually pretty funny. I can actually see you seething that somebody has dared to question the fact that they were making noises about big announcement(s) at E3 and hash tagging Radeon/GeForce (which implies it's about GPUs) and then delivered... not a lot.

All aboard the hype train.

p.s. this isn't the Battlelog forum humbug, calm down.

Your trying to make something from nothing, as usual.

All i'm doing is showing you up in that, i'm the bane of your life here aren't I? :p

I am calm, i'm much more than calm :D

I don't think he is, I remember the thread and it was a fairly clear statement that something was coming up at E3, didn't mention CPU or GPU, but the Geforce #tag implied it was GPU news. Even went as far as saying AMD were going to be bringing the competition back or something.

Exactly.

They never said anything about GPU's, a lot about the BF4 game, some CPU, APU's, Servers, Tablets, Laptop's........ and all of that was # tagged at Radeon and Geforce

That's it.

Just because you tweet something at Radeon and Geforce is no indication of anything. Just because its a tweet at Radeon and Geforce, unless you want to read something into it, 'and then claim its all hype', he's wrong to read into whats not there in the first place.

Bottom line is that AMD said they had an announcement to make, which turned out to be a not the first, not quite 5Ghz CPU and then went on to show off a game running on old hardware.

So realistically this entire thread has been a bit of a waste of time. Oh well. ;):D;)

Yeah, disappointed there wasn't more. but then we all know the new GPU's are not going to be until late this year.
It just would have been nice to get some confirmed specifications.
 
Give it up Rusty, its already obvious he's copying in # tags for everything,- but nothing about new GPU's.... going on and on and on isn't going to change that.

Your reading into something that isn't there and then using that to justify your hype argument.

We thought there might be something about new GPU's, were never under the impression there would be nor was there ever anything to suggest there was, no hype. Just an assumption unfounded.

Give what up? I'm an AMD owner who is disappointed at giving it the big 'un through the hype train and then failing to really deliver anything. Why create the hype, or encourage the creation of it, if you know nothing is there?



It's 'you're' - and I'm reading into the same things that everyone else has above.



Keep on defending (for reasons I won't pretend to understand).

Good Grief......

Your disappointed because you made the mistake of reading into to what was never there, the hype there is that of your own in your own head, that doesn't make him on a hype fest, its just you. distinguish between your own head and reality.

And stop with the spelling Nazism. whats the point in it.
