AMD launched a new t shirt for their GPU department while Nvidia cut the prices for their GPU, improved memory speed and launched the fastest GPU at reasonable price. Both are GPU company ,however, both vision and approach is on different direction.
It sums up both events and presentation. Some people will love to buy new t-shirt and some people will love to buy beast GPU.

Did i lie anything or making up things?

AMD did launch a t-shirt while nvidia updated their GPU prices, up date memory speed, launched a new high end GPU in the same day.


You want to pre odrer that t-shirt?
 
Guess AMD are doooooooooomed again because they didnt show any info on a GPU at a Games Developer Conference, but their competition did which means their competition is super awesome cos they can show off yet another ridiculously priced piece of hardware that will sell in droves to people using 1080p screens after they sell their existing 1080gtx cards for a lot less than they would have got because super awesome competitor just nailed those prices as well, but hey that doesnt matter cos your getting super awesome overpriced GPU's woohoooooo!

Not saying you lied, but every post it comes of like you are some nvidia missionary or something.

Oh and **** the shirt :p

Well yes. The event last night for AMD was never a launch or even and NDA reveal, so representing them as equal events is bizzare, unless you are running with an agenda.

As an aside.

This post just seems like some mad rambling, I doubt many 1080ti buyers will be using bog standard 1080p screens.

Youd be suprised mate, lots of people upgrade their GPU because they only understand high fps, without realising their 1080p 60hz screen is actually inhibiting them from using the full power of that card. I bet theres numerous people running 1080p screens on a 1080gtx, and will cite that this enables them to run everything on the absolute max at that resolution.

Someone get this guy a different drum, for the love of God!

:D
 
He also seems to conveniently forget that AMD have other things on their plate this week, potentially bigger than a T-Shirt reveal or the release of a card that could have been done months ago. :p

Only because Raja didn't hold one in his hand and launch it yesterday with performance numbers over the Fury X; similar to NV launching the Ti and showing some numbers over the 1080.

Only reason I can see for it really.

AMD are launching and shipping Ryzen this week; I'm sure that's more important for them now. They did a meh presentation; although considering it's GDC, and their partnership announcement with Bethesda I think that's pretty good.

Look what AMD managed to do with id and DOOM; despite NVIDIA showcasing DOOM on the GTX 1080 last year as a first reveal.
Bethesda has been using NVIDIA tech and been partnered with them for years now; and suddenly AMD take that part? Personally I think this could lead to some very interesting things if Prey launches with AMD's new Caching and Packed Math tech integrated.

Yeah, every post of his comes over as pushing an agenda rather than wanting what is best for us all as consumers.
 
Yup, the big deals are tech partnerships with Bethesda, largely because they are involved with a LOT of games and a lot of games that have needed someone who helps push engines forward. Nvidia seem to be about adding their own guff software to someone's engine which generally makes the whole thing run worse, where AMD help seems to bring about better optimised and designed games for everyone, AMD and Nvidia users.

Look at Tomb Raider from a few years back that came out and ran beautifully for everyone, then Rise of the Tomb Raider, which ran like junk for everyone. Back with Stalker, the second or third one had Nvidia backing, came out and was a mess. AMD started helping them after launch after Nvidia stopped helping them. With AMD's help the game improved and got DX10 added, ran faster and smooth. This is the history of AMD and Nvidia involvement. Nvidia focus on stuff they can market directly at any cost and don't much care about the quality of the title, AMD guys seem to be sent to simply help the game full stop for the benefit of all gamers.

I'd like to see more titles running like Doom at launch, (that is awesome for everyone, and looks great) and damn, if FO5 and Elder Scrolls VI actually run well with great engines and smooth as hell.... I'll cry. I love FO4, but that thing is optimised like crap, yay, who cares how it runs Nvidia, it has your insanely badly optimised godrays and mist in it, woo.
 
So we should be seeing low-end GTX 1080s for £450 thanks to the price drop. Interesting to see how AMD will compete with this when Vega comes out. Ryzen gives me hope they'll try to undercut nVidia a bit but I can't really see it happening. I guess it depends if the 1070 gets a price cut too - right now there's a pretty big gap between it and the RX 480.
