ATI (AMD) Taking the Piss Out of Nvida

[kev]

Worth a post I think, for the techy peeps we have here. Available in 1080p too

NVIDIA's best has been the butt of hot-running jokes in recent months. Now AMD's getting in on the act.

(for those of you who dont understand, basically nvidias latest incarnation of gfx cards are deemed rather hot in comparison to their competitors)

Epic Win!

Been running ATI cards since 03' i will never switch!

I like that, has certainly more class than a certain company based in Cupertino who just trash talks their competitors to distract from their own mistakes.

Btw Mac finally released the new ATI cards for the new Mac Pro's.
Hopefully SC2 won't run like shit when I get it...

So Apple dropped their partnership with nVIDIA? Guess they've kinda fallen behind with the last two generations.

It looks that way. I don't think Nvidia is that worried though:

AMD should be the last company to make fun of overheating. Through the years I had ATI, AMD, Nvidia and Intel, and from my experiece Intel and Nvidia are much more reliable.
I once had an AMD notebook that you had to put something below it, to raise it from the table, otherwise it would overheat. An ATI Radeon videocard also died.

But to be fair, this could have been very much down to a design flaw by the manufacturer.

Pretty lame really. It wasn't even funny. I'm no Nvidia fanboi... but does everyone have to resort to homaging the Propellerheads' Spybreak, every time they edit together an action sequence.

Epic faggotry from AMD there.

I have had Intels that have done that to, Actually the AMD laptops seemed to last a bit longer and one of our intels had a complete failure from overheating.
