I didn't say that though. Nice strawman. I said it could be anybody. I'm just pointing out that to somebody else he could just be a random forum dweller. Hence is it really worth a repost here? Perhaps so to others but not me. I'll leave it at that as I don't find the thread particularly valuable.

I'm not interested in you trying to discredit the source, i gave you the benefit of the doubt by even replying to you in the first place and now you have just confirmed your intent, because who he actually works for is besides the point and not even important to the point, he is posting anonymously for good reason.

Quit it, I asked a genuine question to see what background the guy has. You really need to stop this bitterness and when you post up an article like this, you need to make sure you have something to back it up. The guy might well know his stuff, hence why I asked who he worked for.

You assume this and that all the time and I found it an interesting read but before I take it as a given, I wanted to know his background in the development world.

You carry on with this attitude, I will start reporting your posts. Genuine question from me met with complete hostility and down right rudeness.

If the benefits are potentially night and day (which I've heard before but need to see myself), won't developers be falling over themselves to push out titles that look good and run well?

Very unlikely, most developers don't care how well their games look/run as they know people will buy them regardless.

You do realise you basically posted "Somebody my brother's sister's cousin knows said this down the pub" right? You can't expect people to believe something from an anonymous source, it may as well be a link to wccftech or videocardz.

Exactly this. I am more than prepared to give the guy kudos if I can know what he has done and worked on and give him more credit than Wccftech and Videocardz put together but I want to know what he has done before I start taking things like this 'from a regular forum poster like me or you' serious.

Well my attitude towards you is because of your history which is a cry wolf scenario which you have only yourself to blame.

He is posting anonymous so you have to take it or leave it.

Yes and im quite happy to live with that because other factors are more important.

If you want to dismiss all that was said because you dont know who he is then that's your prerogative.

Cry wolf? Do you even know what that means?

It is an article that I would like to take serious but with you providing nothing to back it up and I just read through that Anand thread (where it should have stayed) and the guy links to two articles that have zero relevance to DX12. I still thought I would give him the benefit of the doubt but as you clearly don't know what he has worked on, I will take it with a big bucket of salt like I would do with Wccftech and other news sites.

Thanks for the insults though.... :rolleyes:

Greg the Anand Dx12 Star Swarm was so flawed though, we all know Mantle runs better than the benchmarks they posted, ontop of that they glossed over the actual percentage increases on the AMD cards were higher than the Nvidia ones, it stank of Nvidia PR to be truthful mate :(

In fairness, a little. I was hoping to make my Titans last quite a bit longer and with them supposedly being DX12 ready (like HD ready), I was quite chuffed that they might just miss out on a couple of smaller things that come with DX12. If it works out I will miss out on a lot, I will have to upgrade and that wasn't mine or the Wifes plan :D

A long term poster is vouching for this person. Whether that makes a ha'peth of difference to people is open to discussion, but it's certainly no less reliable than a lot of the rumours posted from sources such as Fud, which could just as equally be "a mate of a mate knows the cleaner who works at Newegg".

Other rumour threads trundle on for page after page. I don't see why this shouldn't be treated as another rumour thread.
