Nvidia crushes MSI's Lucid based board
- Thread starter Final8y
- Start date
Since when does owning NV gear make someone a fanboy or troll?
I own ATI cards... i must be a ATI fanboy/troll!
... Oh wait but i just bashed Charlies articles and pointed out bad things about AMD/ATI a few posts above... how confusing must that be for you?
I haven't brought a Nv product for years, due to the fact they was too expensive.
as for boycotting Nv, yes I am untill they bahave and play fairly, never seen ATI behave like that when Nvidia kicked them ****less (not as far as I m aware anyways)
and thats why i m not buying batman the game, saying that, I ve never been interested in that through but that is a different story

I think Rroff does have a tendency to favour nVidia, but at least he tends to structure his posts and deliver a reasonable argument.
As for what you're saying Rroff - yes there's no proven link to nVidia, but I want to know, do you actually think they're behind this?
Mr.B, you're the worst kind of forum troll - known as the "Purchase Justifier". Back under the bridge with you.

I wouldn't put it past them to be behind this.
Aside from a random comment by nVidia which is about as incriminating as an empty threat can be and the fact that it would potentially be to their advantage - I see nothing that actually links nVidia to this story, there is no trail of evidence, there isn't even a hint to a trail of evidence... nothing.
And you seriously don't use wording like "Nvidia NF200 PCIe Decelerator" if you want to be taken seriously as a journalist... for all its drawbacks as a PCI-e switch - the NF200 chip does actually work quite well for SLI (whereas it would be rubbish if you were using 2 discrete devices that needed a real x16 connection) - when using SLI its capable of uploading the data to both cards at the same time and can shortcut card to card transactions which can potentially boost SLI performance by single digit percentages.

Good to see you guys are focusing on the topic and not bashing each other with pointless digs...
If the info is true its a real shame but business has done this for years, just because nvidia do it they are evil. Its just them being asses and trying to protect their income even if it is a really pants way of doing it.
If you had investment like sli that had been taking a beating already you might be flaring up as well trying to stop it being snuffed out by another company.
Ati would do the same thing but try and play the "doing it for the community" card.
Please stay level headed guys and stop trash talking with all this fanboy rubbish,you make yourself look like your desperate for friends and need to insult others to get attention.

There's no need for calling out Roff on this tbh..
Whilst he's renowned for arguing in favour of nVidia, you need to take into account the fact that the article was written by a buffoon. Everything that Charlie Demerjian writes should be read with a pinch of salt - if, indeed, it should be read at all.
In the wider scope of things then saying there are no grounds whatsoever might be putting it a bit strong... but in the context of the information presented in the article... there is nothing that covers the ground from point A to B. Hes jumping to a conclusion.

In this instance I think this is Charlie trying to find a link where there is none.
From what I have gathered Intel funds (or owns) Lucid, and I seriously doubt that MSI would want to annoy Intel by letting nVidia force them to can the Hydra based motherboard.

Oh I don't know, they could continue their rumoured work on an x86 chip for a start
Or they could release a series of cartoons mocking Intel:

Isn't Fud supposed to be paid/sponsored by nVidia to post such nonsense?
It's most probably nothing more than PR to make them look better.
Wasn't there strong evidence of them saying they're going to break Lucid support via their drivers anyway?

I can't find any strong evidence... I can't even find any evidence that nVidia even made such comments - but that might just be me failing at google...
I see a lot of headlines like:
"NVIDIA Plans to block the Lucid Hydra Chip"
Followed by something along the lines of:
"All of this is in the past now as we hear that NV will block the Hydra Chip at the driver level on their GPUs. They also appear to have exerted some pressure on MSI to delay the launch of the Hydra"
A lot of "we hear" and so on but nothing linked to any hard source. Not that I would put it past nVidia to have a hand in it tho I can't quite see how they could pull it off without sticking their neck out far enough to risk having it lopped off legally.
