… like, owning an AMD card is kind of like owning a vintage muscle car with a ridiculous huge V8 if you think about it.
there’s no point pointing out how much more efficient a german straight-4 turbo may be, or how useless all those cubic inches are, you just love that monster for what it is, and just don’t mind what it isn’t.
yup, that sounds kinda right to me, proud and insane VEGA64 owner..... got mine for 499 bucks, and that was a steal, OK.
generally my stance is that AMD is Chaotic Neutral and Nvidia is Lawful Evil
Nvidia is faster but also they’re assholes. AMD is slower but they kind of care about the greater technology ecosystem and maybe it’s good to encourage that.
as much as it seems like I’m stanning for AMD here, remember that corporations are not your friends and that getting depressed about low AMD adoption rates is literally a thing small YouTubers who think AMD should listen to them do
god beware, being a serious AMD fanboy must be pc-parts-purgatory for eternity. half the fun is knowing fully well that you could do better!
i must know, since i have bought the phenom II, R9 380, Ryzen 1700X, VEGA64 and Athlon 220… if there was an AMD T450s thinkpad a few years ago, i may have considered that for a minute or two, before buying Intel anyway, since i like to carry laptops around… so yeah, i assume in best sportsmanship terms that every AMD-owner here thinks a bit like that.
I’d feel a lot better about the surplusage of motherboards I have from ten years of three people doing this shit if they covered two sockets instead of six.
is edge not going to work as an epub reader anymore
I did some windows update that took an hour to install and dark mode finally applies to file explorer, video files have thumbnails again, I don’t think it does that thing every so often where I get an eternal green loading status bar and it quits loading icon pictures in folders until I reset, folders still don’t stay how I arrange them though
I’ve been copying a full 8tb drive to a 12 tb drive since monday morning, it’s still got 20 hours to go.
The new Radeon VII take undervolting pretty well and can actually have better average performance
That’s assuming your Radeon VII stays stable with the undervolt. But it seems like several of them can. AMD just overshot the voltage, to have less wasted chips.
