>If you want to see how rampant fanboyism can get out of control, look no further than 31-year-old Russian manager Alexander Trofimov. A dedicated fan of graphics card manufacturer Nvidia, he murdered his 37-year-old friend Yevgeny Lyulin during a heated argument about AMD’s products.
>Trofimov was found guilty of the murder earlier this month and will face nine and a half years in jail.
>The alcohol-fuelled incident happened on September 16th, 2016. Trovimov went to visit the victim, Lyulin, as part of a professional holiday. The pair had worked together before some years before and were meeting as professional acquaintances.
>During the evening the conversation between the two eventually turned to their favourite graphics cards. Lyulin praised AMD’s graphics chips, saying their workstation cards in particular were great for professional graphics modeling. Trofimov disagreed, instead suggesting Nvidia GeForce is the true gamers’ choice. Taking offence at Lyulin’s opinion, Trofimov struck him twice in the head with a kitchen knife before stabbing him a further 11 times. He then burned the body in an effort to cover his tracks.
>We’ve all seen fanboyism before but I suspect never quite to this extreme. Actually coming to blows over which graphics card is your favourite really is something else, and definitely demands some perspective. ‘Twas only last week we pondered brand loyalty to gaming hardware manufacturers.
Someone should have told him to stop being such a hothead
Truly rotten to the cores

Did he use a Fermi to incinerate the body or did he have trouble finding a nearby power plant?

>He then burned the body in the attempt to cover the crime.
so, he basically put his dead friend inside his computer case?
Wyatt Russell
So the AMD fan cared about productivity and the Nvidia fan couldn't handle the mere existence of other uses for GPUs than shallow gaming.
Nothing new there.
Charles Kelly
This isn't how it should go. Both sides should work together to put feminists in coffins.
Henry Torres
Hope that Fermi keeps you warm in jail, Trofimov.

Any more than that would be too big a profit loss for Nvidia, so they asked to reduce the sentence by half.

I saw a news story about a similar event but it was an xbox fan and a playstation fan. the ps fan shot and killed the other and got life. happened in i think 2004
Jackson Phillips
You mean hot blood?
Gabriel Reed
Welp, time to break out those old memes!
Kayden Foster
Dude, murdering someone in cold blood in Canada gets you 3 years, maybe even less if you trick the jury into thinking you have a mental condition.
Carter Hernandez

Save us the job next time and kill yourselves instead, AMD poorfags.

Well he did have the best tool for the job.

Ayden Jones
>drunk russians killing other drunk russians I'm not sure it's even accurate to call this a murder since it seems like it was a heat of the moment thing.

Is this for real? Reads like a fucking commercial script.
Ian Walker

Kayden Lewis
murder is per-meditated, which this doesn't sound like it was

Now that's overkill.
Jordan Sullivan
>winning arguments by stabbing people
you better have a good 3.5" knife close by, with the new amd cards coming out soon you'll need it.
Grayson Davis
Sounded like a headshot to me
Easton Rogers
Not him but at least in my country's law there's a difference between unplanned killing and murder not that the victim doesn't die
Henry Robinson

Do Americans usually murder eachother over burger toppings?

no, just race and politics.
