BWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH give up gaming already

AMD making bank and gaymers on suicide watch. Does life get any better?
Bentley Gomez
China just banned cryptocurrencies. It's over for AMD.
AMD is still losing money on these cards, the only people who should be happy about Vega are miners and Nvidia. What a fucking mess.
Henry Edwards
No idiot, they banned icos, not the same thing.
Charles Moore
Destabilizes the Yuan. The commies still left in power there will kill you for destabilizing their currency.
Ayden Lee
They are fucking stupid I swear, I feel ashamed to have a Ryzen and R9 280x
Isaac Johnson
Fire Raja.

Just make it illegal for any institution to exchange it for fiat currency and for any business to except it as payment for goods and services. That would effectively ban it.

yes exactly true user because we all know a rumor out of another rumor that is proven to be lies its literally what amd is doing
Hunter Walker
china sub every miner that uses solar or wind farms in exchange for coins
CHINA BANS CRYPTOS
the state of anons
Christopher Hall
Rejoice! With the ETH crash we will hopefully see aftermarket cards for cheap

Just gonna leave this here...

If GPUs are so good at calculations then why don't they just make the CPUs from GPUs?
Jayden Sanders
Because they're not. See GPU video encoding.
Blake White
so did anyone ever figure out why it was performing so well in dirt?
Blake Baker
No AA. Something is bottlenecking AA performance, something having to do with the low geometry output of the shaders.
Not sure if it can be fixed by drivers though...
Evan Reed
>Because they're not What did he mean by this?
Kayden Johnson
is that really all there is to it? does it work better without AA in other games too? wouldn't enabling the primitive shader thingy solve this then?
Joseph Rogers
Because they can't do the same advance math as CPUs can.

Leo Allen
GPUs are only better than CPUs at certain types of maths since they are particularly designed for those types, but are trash for any other type.
Nathan Clark
I wish someone would come up with an easy way to benchmark games. Fraps method is shit. Intel method is shit. There are a handful of games that have built in benchmarks but can't really be trusted.

>Making Bank. They aren't, in fact, they're losing bank. >Gaymers on suicide watch. No, they'd just buy Nvidia as they always did. How does this benefit AMD or you as a consumer? Or are you just playing teams?
