To be perfectly honest, I'm disappointed with what nVidia has shown us- I couldn't in good faith try to pimp their wares at the moment- and it is downright embarrassing how badly they have obliterated AMD in this round. I can't even fathom trying to put a good spin on this shit- they are seriously resorting to AoTS CF benches against a single stock 1080- I mean, really? Some of the guys over at AT have posted their own results showing that it is falling in line with R290- no x, performance. That was a $400 part three years ago- and that's your halo...... ouch.

The part that gets my blood boiling is that the mods are either in on the action, or some of the dumbest mother fuckers on the internet. I saw someone point out what AMD shills have been claiming for months, mod gives him a warning for trolling. He wasn't embellishing or even using the more extreme examples- he was using the mainstream FUD they were spewing for months on end. You simply aren't allowed to call out their bullshit. I think part of it may be the mods are even less knowledgeable than the shills themselves, which takes some doing. They don't understand that they are just flat out liars spewing bullshit to sell product- or they are shills themselves. I'd like to know which it is, perhaps that AMD sponsorship Anand had going before he became an Apple drone spilled over to the forums.
The mods let everyone jump on Rollo and Keys to an insane degree- a level you likely couldn't even quote today without the ban hammer coming down today. Sickening. Put these guys on a forum where they can't hide like little bitches- seriously, if you guys see them on one let me know- I'll shred 'em.
I like how every year they have some fairy tale to sell- Mantel, FreeSync and now Async- and none of them ever pan out(well, FreeSync at least is a legit improvement over non GSynch panels- Mantle was a rip off of a run of the mill console API they act like AMD invented and Async compute is a console necessity due to sub cell phone CPUs, and a joke for desktops outside of RTSs). Try to point their abhorrent PR track record though- mod steps in threatening a ban. Meh, too bad ATF is now a viral marketing site dedicated to protecting AMD's interests.
