AMD to take back graphics crown from Nvidia ?

That's okay, because I am. So, in fact, you aren't looking forward to a new card, but a whole new system. Which reinforces the idea that there isn't much to get excited about in these new offerings. Other than the potential of what comes after them. Lastly, to make a point: Perhaps some of you are aware of nvidia's new "UMAP" policy. This is where you can't find out the price of an item that a vendor is selling it for until to place it in your cart. Thusly breaking price-checking engines and adding millions of unnecessary cart checks a day. Beyond the legal issues, beyond the inconvenience, beyond the utter stupidity of the idea.. is that nvidia is in no position to **** away whatever remaining goodwill they have. Which this idea is doing. Shopping nvidia on Newegg is a chore now and can only hurt sales. http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...50aHVzaWFzdA== |
