ZoneDymoI take it we can sum the whole conference up in one acronym again?

lexluthermiesterAI, yuppers.

dlgh7lies

lexluthermiesterThat's a verb not an acronym.

Dr. DroI see Nvidia's hostility towards the press as a clear sign that they feel uncomfortable. It's how megacorporations tend to deal with things, fully exploit the customer base while they have a clear advantage, and then throw their weight around when things don't go their way. (Intel's hey days when they bribed OEMs, or AMD during the early Zen 3 era/present situation with the Threadripper line as examples).

Dr. DroYeah, I've linked it on my post above, just didn't embed as to avoid the potential offtopic back and forth it would ensue. But since that cat is out of the bag :p

Looking for consumer-oriented ethics in billionaire global corporations is like looking for a needle in a haystack, except that you actually have a chance to come across the needle instead of just vacuous corporate statements. Thankfully we have people like Rossmann, the greatest technician that's ever lived, GN, etc. to stand against them and, at the very least, put the brakes on it.

Dr. DroWas too busy watching GN's video where he (rightfully) roasts NVIDIA's hostile behavior towards the press.

lexluthermiesterTo be fair, the much of the press has been very hostile themselves. Sadly, I empathize with NVidia on that one. Much of the press(not all) need to do a lot of growing up, learning how to be civilized and stop acting like children throwing a tantrum. It's pathetic.

Onasi@lexluthermiester
I feel like modern “clout chasing” culture is to blame for this. The press and influencers are trying way too hard to earn brownie points with the proles by basically doubling down on the common sentiment. People want to shit on NVidia (for reasons both valid and not) and the media for the most part is happy to mirror that since that’s what’s getting the clicks. It honestly kind of getting to the point of being obnoxious. Yes, I get it, NVidia bad, Leather Jacket man bad, NGREEDYA, 8 gigs of VRAM, fuck fake frames, and so on and so forth, Blackwell more like Blackshit lololol. That’s all great, but that’s forum level discourse and probably shouldn’t be something that the ostensible professionals go for.

dlgh7It is both.

Lying
Imbecile
Egomaniacal
Sociopath

Der8auer, Hardware Unboxed, AND GN laying the fire on NVIDIA today. Everyone talking about the scumminess of NVIDIA with their 5060 "previews" with hardcore testing requirements and false comparisons. Public company continues to be the horrible option, ruining reputation to get that 0.001% extra profit for shareholders...Glad the community is standing together!

_roman_Just for information - maybe related - I did not watch it yet.

I'll watch that next

Hardware unboxed video mentions some Test constraints and explain how things most likely are.

I'm not sure if hardware unboxed used translator. I read the german text some lines. It seems nvidia gave strict test scenario for the preview.

lexluthermiesterSo this gives them the right and license to be childish jerks? NVidia does something unacceptable, they simply refuse and tell them what they're doing is not ethical. The press doesn't need to throw the tantrums about it. It's called professional civility, decorum and maturity. The press has an obligation to exercise those things.

Dr. DroThat they have, but IMHO - as long as nothing patently false is said, grilling them is fair game. The purpose of the media is to keep them from flying off the handle, and fly off the handle Nvidia has, on more than a few occasions.

End of the day, it turns out people tend to be extremely protective of their purchasing decisions. Feelings precede facts until it's too late, and you haven't really gotten your feet wet until the cliques accuse you of being <brand> fanboy. I'm especially fond of when I'm reduced to a "this user", sprinked with the likes of "paid shill with nothing of real substance", or "this person just hates", and "they need a timeout from the forum!!1", just because I pointed out their favorite brand did a room temp IQ move - and you don't have any street cred until at least 2 or 3 cliques have directed that at you :p



Bingo. And you don't really have to go too far to see the true face of the "movement", just scroll up a little.



It's like it's personal to some people.

Dr. DroIt's very easy to look at "haha, look at this guy. he runs defense for a company I don't like and LMAO he plays Genshin, opinion discarded (heard that one before lol)"

dlgh7It is a bit personal when a company is lying while making the whole industry put along with the brakes on and not moving the needle. DLSS is garbage. Fake frames are fake frames. Fake frames create latency. It is all garbage. Maybe in a decade we will get there but honestly we aren't close yet. Just like Ray Tracing. It was thrown down our throats and it still end of the day isn't that relevant. Give me a good game. Ray tracing or not.
