yeah i heard that one was supposed to be good

im on an r9 390 myself though, so I don't see myself needing to upgrade for a few generations

>when OP throws autistic AMD bankrupt celebration to hail monopoly

kek

I laughed

What the newfags dont get

was back in the days AMD made the good CPUs

they got fucked over at some point internally

and fell behind

intel bribed oem's to not use AMD products

yeah that and having one GPU giant will be bad for all of us

ie now where intel barely advances their performance in their CPUs

and the small like $1b settlement intel had to pay AMD after 3 or 4 years of underhanded marketing was too small a drop in the bucket after being fucked

while keeping prices artificially high even for capable last gen CPUs

and Nvidia screwing everyone as much as they can with their GPUs

Now I am sadface.

anyways the prices of the 470 and 480 are high here

i just dont know which to get

Wait a while

the stores are taking a nice cut of the cake

while stocks are low

it will stabilize tm

if the courts really wanted to do something to give AMD a chance to get back into the market after intel pushed them out for so long by discounting their products for OEMs and paying them to avoid AMD products when AMD was ahead of intel, they really should have made the payout in the $10b - $20b range, because intel was making that every year AMD was being fucked.

heeey AMD wouldnt have had a much better CPU now if they got that in revenue

Obviously Intel was just the best at R&D

:3

lol

Lesson is simple

No money for R&D?

Nothing will change

There is this fun fact

Consoles keep picking AMD

the APUs are a very cheap effective part to use for the consoles

Not only that the reason NVIDIA is fucked is AMDs x86 license

with lower level APIs like dx12 becoming the norm, and console devs having to only program for a single part, optimization for a part like that is simple to get done

Intel can't really team up with NVIDIA to make a console

that would cost too much I'd assume

Well I mean, look at something like the ps1, it was just this weak tiny processing unit

Would be high end "steam box" territory?

so first

If developers were refining and optimizing as much as they were in the ps1 and ps2 days for the hardware in the ps4 and xbone, the games would look like real life
