For the record, I personally don't hate Nvidia -- they make excellent graphics cards. I have bought them in the past. I have an expensive Nvidia powered tablet.

Its not dumb to buy Nvidia. Many here just buy the best available GPU, independent of manufacturer. I agree with that practice.

But, this is the "AMD fan" thread

We're not "cheer leading" -- that would be gross. Mostly, we simply report things about AMD -- often merely by quoting an article (rather than giving our own opinion). But, we try to be accurate. That is, if AMD "blows it" (like they did with the FX CPU design), we say so. If they seem to have an advantage over Intel or Nvidia (the only real competitors), we say so.

The object here is NOT to "bash" Nvidia -- or even to say much about them -- this is the AMD thread. However, we occasionally note reasons why we're AMD fans. In doing so, its natural to "make a comparison" that's not favorable to Intel or Nvidia. Normally, its not their products that are an issue with me personally, its their business practices (that I have watched for decades now).

Anyhow, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. On this AMD thread, it makes sense that one will occasionally see statements favorable to AMD that others don't agree with. Its also true, one might see statements unfavorable to a competitor (that others don't agree with).

If AMD "owned the market" and Intel and Nvidia were minor players, I imagine AMD would start acting in ways that I would not approve of -- Power Corrupts. Competition is good.

This is just an opinion statement and an explanation of why one would tend to see "anti-Nvidia" statements here from time to time. Its not an argument. And, I don't expect everyone to agree with my thoughts.

For what its worth
