Opinion Question

[tesco]

well i saw someone post something on neowin that nvidia was more expensive and generally had more features than ati cards, but ati had more bang for the buck...which reminded me of AMD and Intel...

so, here is the question:

do you guys think Nvidia is like Intel, or is ATI like intel? and which is like AMD? or are they both like one of those CPU manufacturers...?

[Tormentor]

For me its hard to relate one with the other for some reason. :huh:

yes i found it hard too, but my final conclusion is that Nvidia is Intel, and ATI is AMD...wanna know why i came to this conlusion?

ATI and AMD both have 3 letters.
intel and nvidia both have close to teh same amount of letters...

that's my theory, lol.

[bigdawgfoxx]

haha

I would say ATI is like Intel...Extreme speed haha

Amd is like nvidia..because...i duno its hard cuz nvidia and ati are the same price! haha

i&#39;d say intel is pc, and amd is linux...

amd is more bang for your buck, intel is just highly overpriced but "more supported" (more supported as in, people advertise that their systems have a p4, but don&#39;t mention their system if they have an amd)...

i was gonna use that exact example. i dont think any are quite hippy enough to be linux though.

the difference is microsoft completely dominate and macs are almost a niche but with intel and AMD... theres little between them for people who know a bit of what theyre doing, intel are always BUY OUR PRODUCT, IT MAKES YOUR DICK BIGGER&#33; - SWISSSHHHH, DINGDING DODING&#33;
. AMD are like we know our products good enough it can almost sell itself, lets sit back and have a spliff B)



anyone know what i mean or was that all psychobabble BS?

[Duffman]

hmm, so your saying Intel is responsable for the flashing comercials of AMD burning and all the subliminal messages and propaganda? if so, then run, cause theyll hunt you down and make us all forget about this.

[tesco]

intel used to have commercials, usually right when a new pentium number is out (i remember those blue guys with teh 3, then the ones with the 4, you guys remember?)

amd has never had a commercial (that i&#39;ve seen)...

[Spicker]

lol good relationship rosco its actually true..

nvidia with intel
Ati with AMD

and yes i hav seen those adz i think they had like aliens or sumthin lol

ya, i knew it was something with blue in it...

i was think something like: "The Blue Men" lol.

edit: so vb1234, what do u think?

[Virtualbody1234]

ATI - Expensive and fast
Nvidia - More bang for your buck.

P4 - Expensive and fast
AMD - More bang for your buck.

But still CPUs and GPUs are very different things. :unsure:

i don&#39;t even know why i posted this, it is kinda stupid. i guess i was bored. lol.

i always think about comparing eveyrthing with computers...this one was computers with computers...



would u beleive that in my transportation tech class last year i was thinking they should use thermal paste between the parts of the engine block :blink:

VB, how is nvidia more bang for your buck? Nvidias high end cards cost the same as ATIs...

[pc-gamer-dude]

I&#39;m thinking it goes something like this:

ATI=AMD
Nvidia=Intel

now heres my explanation:
ATI is generaly faster and better then Nvidia which goes along with the more bang for your buck type statement, that same statement fits perfectly with AMD.
Nvidia is generaly overpriced junk that you hear about everywhere, Intel is exactly the same without the junk part.

So:
ATI -faster but cheap and more power for your dollar
AMD -Cheaper but also more power for your dollar
Nvidia -Less bang for your buck
Intel -More expensive but faster, less bang for your buck tho

HAHAHAHA ATI & AMD for LIFE&#33;&#33;&#33;

Since you guys hijacked my topic with a little dance through Back To the Future trivia, I have no qualms about taking my own little hike here....
If you ever have the opportunity to see The Blue Man Group in person, jump at it.
They are absofuckinglutely AMAZING&#33;
I&#39;ve seen them twice in Chicago and would go again in a hearbeat.*
Right up there with Cirque du Soliel as great theatrical experiences.

OK.
That&#39;s it.

Carry on.

wound&#39;t think of going without them. :D

[Virtualbody1234]

I agree, clocker. The Blue Man Group is a cool performance.




HAHAHAHA ATI & AMD for LIFE&#33;&#33;&#33;
HAHAHA&#33; Life is a long time. Computers change drastically in a very short time. No way am I going to commit to a lifetime of ATI or AMD or any brand for that matter. I would end up missing out on the future. :P

[tesco]

Well, i been thinking about it, and m final decision is that ndividia is like intel, and amd is like ati. ATI gives awsome performance for its price, which is what AMD does. Nvidia offers less performance for the same money, which is what intel does.

that&#39;s my opinion.

Strange used a ATI card in my pc nothing but hassle

Yup, ATI cards have been known to cause many hassles.

[kaiweiler]

I think ATI is like AMD and nVidia is like Intel....just because :lol:
and for the record, atm I&#39;m using both ATI and AMD in my system, no intel and no nVidia (except from built in options like chipset and such)

[Spicker]

so whos the wife and husband?

ATI-wife
AMD-husband?

and wt about the kids&#33;&#33;&#33; :lol:

The ugliest quadruplets ever born.

1st Blue Guy: "OMFG, that&#39;s a bodacious ass."
3rd Blue Guy, beating the pipes with his "sticks": "Whoooa, holy shit."
2nd, in the middle Blue Dorky Guy, holding the pipe: "Huh?"

I just couldn&#39;t stop laughing when I noticed those blue guys and VB&#39;s avatar (no offence VB), looked alike. :rolleyes::lol:
