It's not your opinion, it's not your beliefs, it's how you state them.
Method one, stating an opinion:
"I didn't like the one(1) ATI card I had, I prefer Nvidia".
"I feel like ATI is lower quality"
That is a perfectly acceptable. It's a statement of opinion, which is all you have. Everybody has opinions, everybody is free to state them as an opinion.
Method two, stating a fact:
"ATI cards have lots of problems".
"ATI cards are low quality compared to nvidia"
This is not acceptable, you do not know that all ATI/AMD cards have problems. You had one (1) card that microstuttered (on that note, I've had far, far, far, far more cards from both camps than you've had cards at all, mayhap you should listen to the greater experience?). You have no bloody clue what the quality of the ASIC is, not unless you've sliced open a few thousand and attacked with one hell of a microscope.
With the exception of the previous post, you almost entirely use method two, which is incorrect.
For bonus points you tend towards insults and demeaning anybody who disagrees with your (opinion passed off as) "facts". Sarcasm does not transfer well in text, I feel like the vast majority of people know that. You now know that too, beyond this post it is no longer an excuse for rudeness or attacks.
You are welcome to your opinion. You are welcome to state your opinion. You are not welcome to state your opinion as fact. You are not welcome to attack people. You are not welcome to insult people. Using the excuse of "it was sarcasm, it's not my fault you can't read it" will not function, either.
In short, I strongly recommend dredging up some politeness if you want anybody to take you seriously.
If you prefer to just get into repetitive groundhog day style arguments with those of us who enjoy arguing with people who can't tell (or don't care about) the difference between fact and opinion, and don't actually want to convince anybody that you are in fact correct along with "sarcastic", then by all means keep doing what you're doing.
Before anybody accuses me of being an "AMD FANBOY OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!"!"!", go look at what I had to say to Frakk when he was doing the exact same routine pro AMD.
I, for reasons I cannot really fathom, seem to feel that it is worthwhile arguing the same damn points over and over and over again with each iteration of people who can't tell fact from opinion.
I, for reasons I cannot really fathom, seem to feel that it is worthwhile arguing the same damn points over and over and over again with each iteration of people who believe in their deepest heart that because they bought X everybody should buy X and X is far better than Y and Z (See: BD, PD, Sabertooth anything, Nvidia, AMD, LGA2011).
I, for reasons I cannot really fathom, seem to feel that it is worthwhile arguing the same damn points over and over and over again with each iteration of people who prefer the party line to reality.
I, for reasons I cannot really fathom, seem to feel that it is worthwhile arguing the same damn points over and over and over again with each iteration of people who have some technical knowledge and believe that it is in fact all the technical knowledge and that they should be worshipped.
Why? I really don't know. I kind of wish I didn't as it consumes monumental amounts of time, there are far more people who fit the above categories than there are who will actively fight back against junk from people who fit the above categories.
I would be quite happy to get paid to do it, that would be fantastic, as it is I'm essentially an anti-shill. It's not an especially rewarding occupation, it gets my insulted, yelled at, harassed, occasionally thanked, often hated, and certainly not paid. So it goes, I guess.
In the mean time, know that a single experience with a single anything is a horrendously small sample size and a laughable thing to base anything even vaguely construed as a fact off of. Unless of course you're being paid by the DEA to "prove" something is harmful, that's about the one place where a sample size of one (1) is considered plenty.
Out here in the real world, it's laughably small.
Although I don't have anything against Nvidia and will always consider it an option when buying cards in the future if the price/performance is right.
