They have liability of the CPU chip. But you're arguing a strawman here. The original point was that an AIB makes their own cards and sell it in their own name, co branded with NVidia's (or AMD's) brand and technology/IP. When a consumer/customer has a warranty issue, that is with the AIB vendor. Heck in Denmark, it's even the retailer, because we have proper consumer rights here.

Oh, come now. We all know it's a sign of competence to end all your lines with lol, lol.

I guess they dropped the wooden lid. Too many mistaken identifies and too much bread stuffed in the case. I think it's nice to see the established case makers do proper ITX cases. But what is up with that gawdy plastic base? Still looks like a cheap hipster bread basket.

Yeah, the memory controller dictates the amount of vram for sure. Indeed, but they lost that lawsuit, so it doesn't really matter what they said. That's what gamers said back in the 780 days, heck even the 680 days, when AMD's offerings had 1 GB of vram extra. That extra GB came in handy a lot. I will admit that over 8GB doesn't seem to make a lot of sense right now. But then again, we don't know what industry push the next gen consoles will bring. The last time, PS4 and XBone got almost 12 times the VRAM from the previous gen. That's why we saw a game like Watch Dogs, which was a true next gen game, have high res textures, and a lot more unique textures on the screen at any given time. Suddenly you needed 4GB of vram, and the 780 users got shafted as a result. VRAM is just a silly thing to run out of.

That could definitely be the case. However, NVidia tends to save on memory on their GPU's. Think 3GB 780 vs. 4GB 290, or the 3GB 1060 vs. 4GB 580 (that no one should buy). Heck even the 3½GB 970. NVidia has improved on this matter though, like the 1080ti with 11GB. We will have to wait and see. Personally, I prefer GPU's to have a lot of Vram, so we can have high quality textures.

Significant price reduction for 970 pro (and a smaller one for 970 evo)

Haha, good. Well it's still a great drive. Can't wait to get one for myself. -
What did Intel do a little over a decade ago? As in the years leading up to AMD's massive fall in market share?

Wasn't it you who just bought a bunch of 960 pros? -
Yeah, it's on a down turn now. But these cards where designed and began production a long time ago when crypto was still on the rise. I highly dount Europe is the biggest buyer. China and Russia seems to be huge on it though.

I know. But that is not exactly what the head line states, is it?

Someones pissed that one of the largest tech youtubers took credit for something they really had no right to.
-
Ouch!

No, I was being factual. I even sourced the statement. Go read it and look at the figures. If you don't like Chinese for some reason, blame Valve. I don't even know what you're trying to argue anymore.
-
Not the point, and doesn't make any difference. Numbers that came out of China were skewed. Even took Valve a few months to find out why.
-
Who cares? The original argument was that the people would cause a "brexit" if EU banned NVidia. So the argument is about the average citizen, not highly specialized CERN physicists. Nothing requires NVidia. They'd reprogramme their software to use something like OpenCL instead of CUDA. There, they got over it. Fact of the matter is, that the EU has every right and all power to ban NVidia if they see it necessary. They won't. NVidia woudl never let itself get to that point. They would buckle, pay up and shut up. That was the point. Not what a couple of hundreds of specialists, in a 740+ million strong superstate, needs.

AMD GPU's have little foot hold in asien markets. When a mass influx of chinese went onto the steam platform a few months ago, we saw a huge surge of NVidia cards, skewing the numbers a LOT (also had to do with steams flawed system, which is now patched). AMD and Asrock went together to try and change that. So Asrock was always supposed to focus on the asien markets, and not in the EU (and probably not US either?).

I wonder why Asus made Arez I wonder why no Arez products use ROG I wonder why no AMD GPU's were suddenly not branded rog anymore I wonder why the official Asus Arez twitter liked and shared all articles about it, when the articles literal headlines stated it was because of the GPP I wonder why Arez was only going to be used on AMD GPU product categories, and not AMD motherboards I wonder .... don't you? Like @leadeater stated, evidence isn't always conclusive, but requires extrapolation of several data points. There has been plenty in the GPP case.
-
As you can see from my link, the EU case was much more than just search results. That being said, obviously it makes sense for the FTC to be first when it comes to american companies. Like I said in another GPP thread, it's only a strength that both the FTC and the EUC hammer down on the same things. Synergy and all that.
