I am a professional gamer. been one for 3 yrs now, respected in the gaming world, spokesman on my company for systems on multiple forums.
Here on this forum though, apparently, I was banned from a thread giving honest opinions. (with no reasons given.) Which is strange, cause two other forums 'pays' my company for me to do the same, I thought I was doing everyone a favor by posting my professional opinions for free here. (hence I cannot use my real name, or disclose my company, as that will be unfair to those that pay. these are professionism that people in my world are strict about. Failure to withhold, will mean I be fired immediately from my contract.)
anyway. People claim I 'bash' AMD too much. I will like to clarify.
AMD has good product, way enough for the average joe, at a cost that's good for them.
however their marketting ways should be taken with a pitch of salt, as they are masters of gimmicks and FPS comparison isn't as 'comprehensive' as a performance benchmark as many of you might be assuming it to be.
there's also frametime, variance, quality. All of which adds up to the gaming experience, and smoothness of the graphics. Also note, these factors are not measured commercially today, which I suspect will be later given time, as frame variance is already now measureable.
That being said, I have notice this forum's senior posters strongly favors AMD, Examples of bias includes:
1, announcing AMD bundles, while ignoring nvidia's similar news.
2, relying strictly on FPS as guidance on GPU quality.
3, relying strictly on Price/performance as efficiency guidance on GPU.
4, announced microstuttering 'as not relevant' .
all of the above are flawed in one way the other. and strongly favors AMD. I am sure I do not need to explain why further. I am not sure why that is the case, yet I can guess a few reasons where there's an apparent favorism.
I won't hide my discontent on AMD as a company, but that's based on my company's experience with AMD, that I will not disclose further. That experience however taught me to:
1, never take marketting material literally, think a little.
2, judge for yourself, in seeing which is best, don't easily listen to others.
3, the only thing that's real, appears to be: things are cheap for a reason.
that being said. I feel my task is done.
If admins do not like this post, they can remove it, I don't mind.
as I honestly think I was giving good professional opinions, for free. On a nation that values free speech.
good endeavours to all.
I can be found on other forums. (though different names in each.)
take care.
