The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

[Rroff]

Ok then why do they feel the need to haunt pretty much every AMD thread telling people how inferior the products are???

It happens the other way around just as much, just not as much lately as nVidia have had less in the way of patchy launches recently (atleast hardware wise) - i.e. the build up and launch of the Fermi cards was full of AMD people poking fun at them being hot, loud and a failure, etc. (never mind all the wood screw stuff ).

The thing is Chroniclard, its the same Nvidia owners in every AMD thread, spouting the same rubbish over and over.

So what is it then? its almost like AMD come to their house and **Swear words must be fully starred ** their pets or something infront of them.

There is no other explanation for the blatant trolling of the Nvidia section on this forum, its every thread, and im not exaggerating, and its normally the same culprits time and time again, because the forum Mods rarely do anything about it.

And im not the only one who notices and points this out either. So why do they feel they need to post so much drivel constantly about Nvidia? what got them so butthurt?

While not entirely IMO its somewhat your perception - you seem to see any negative comment about AMD as must be coming from an nVidia fanboy which isn't always true so IMO to you it seems a bigger issue than it actually is.

EDIT: It also used to be much worse than it is the other way around but 1-2 people got either perma banned or temp bans and then eased up a bit.

You do realise that was 5 years ago, right?

Oh, no. Just no. I try to avoid postin in here due to some being hyper sensitive, but I like to see how things are moving.

I know I spent more, and the justification is that I have gotten rid of all the bloody hassle I used to have.

If both these furys and 980 tis were out when I was buying, I'd do the same again.

Stop spewing rubbish, because yu just sound petty.

The thing thing is most recent nvidia owners actually paid less to get their GPU last month rather than waiting around for stock.

But the hole price argument of Nvidia-vs-AMD is just screwed anyway.
How much money do you pay for good driver and software support, game developer support, multi-GPU profiles, thing working out of the box, etc. there is much more to it than FPS per dollar Even if people paid more for a card form 1 brand versus the other to got the same performance there are many more variables involved. E..g, the 980Ti is faster and cheaper than a FuryX but a FuryX has AIO at that price point which could be a big deal, then again you can easily buy a 980Ti so how much is 1-2 months of gaming with a new high end card worth versus waiting on stock issues?

the pricing arguments only ever come form 1 side of the and they always miss the big picture. You can buy a luxory car that is slower (high end BMW) than a modified car form a different brand (Cheap mustang) but comparing price per MPH is kind of irrelevant.

5 years ago or not its an example that it happens just as much in both directions - nVidia have just been less of an easy target for it in the last 3-4 years and AMD have made themselves an easier than ever target for it.

 

[chroniclard]

I am not really noticing any drivel, guess there are some repeated criticisms but in a large forum with lots of users you often get the same thing repeated a lot.

Though why upset the majority because of 7 AMD users.

You can also just look back at the 970 launch to a see all the AMD fanboy trolling an about a card they didn't own.

Come on, you are making that up, AMD owners do not troll! EVER!!

It appeared on Family Guy, so I'd imagine everyone is old enough Probably didn't get the Dallas reference, but they'll at least manage Family Guy

I don't think so, more of a rocker, I'd say.

Dont say it does not happen because it does, its obvious for anyone reading these forums that it happens. Just reading through pages in this thread its apparent its the same Nvidia fanboys trolling needlessly time and time again and its pretty much every AMD based thread.

So its either these people constantly trolling as i stated previously, or they are deluded enough to think people care about their opinion.

nVidia are pretty good at reputation management, with many popular forums being home to one of their community managers + sockpuppets "white hat avatars". Unwitting fanboys join in the trolling for the same reason some people are fanatical about sports - tribalism.

And yet OCUK has 2 resident AMD "community managers" and no one from Nvida.

Company reputations are largely based on product satisfaction and customer service, something which Nvidia largely does well at since they were formed. Reputations also tend to be relatively stable and persistent except in cases of extreme negativity. E.g., a company that has a poor reputation will keep that for a long time even when the company is turn around, likewise for good products going bad.

And yet here you are, with your fantastic insights

Ive seen ManuelG post on here.

The 7950 doesn't support freesync for gaming either.

Hilariously some of AMD's latest GPU's (The 380/370 etc) don't either
It's bad form when you're releasing GPU's in Q3 2015 that don't support a feature you announced in Q1 2014

The 380 supports free-sync, As far as I know they all do apart from the 370 so at least all the R9 cards support it.

 

[nashathedog]

If the fury were £400 id be more tempted. But right now im in limbo.

Same here, 450's too much. I'll wait to see if they get any sort of gain the Nvidia cards don't in the coming months.
