I mean I can point out high resolution loads where more RAM gives more performance?? I'm not understanding what your trying to prove. Not to mention it's not just about the capacity in this case it the ram speed the same thing that AMD did with the R7 250 ddr3 and ddr5 additions

No the 6950 2gb has a cut down die you didn't even bother to quote the actual link proving it. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/radeon-hd-6950-1gb-vs-2gb.767470/post-6831109 Not to mention the entire r7 250 and r7 350 ddr3 ddr5 swap

Because it's literally the exact same argument word for word. If it has less ram it's slower end of story

By that same picture your forgetting the 3080 12gb and so your know if your buying the 10gb well that's cheaper but hey literally no one said s word about that card it's scummy practice that no one cares about until Nvidia decided to raise prices and instead of not buying the card and moving on with their lives people just want to become a keyboard warrior.

O you mean like the R7 250?? we could go even more modern like the R7 350 gddr3 and gddr5 models with the same name

I'm not defending them all I am pointing out is that this is has been industry standard for literally a decade at this point (seriously go look at the 6950 1gb and 2gb cards). Do I agree with the practice absolutely not however if I'm shopping for a graphics cards as an average consumer I'm going to look at a card and go the one with the bigger number is faster plain and simple. Seriously I remember this was the exact reason AMD stuffed tons of RAM into their GPU I know people who bought slower GPUs because it had more RAM because the number on the box was bigger. It's exactly the thinking that drives average consumers so it's not out of the realm of possibilities that a consumer will think a item with less ram is slower. It seems people are more worried about hating Nvidia than looking at how the industry has actually structured their product stack with how the RAM numbers show on a box. It's a problem with the entire industry everywhere not just GPUs look at any electronics (resolution and ram and large amounts of storage or even a slow laptop i7 being promoted over a desktop i5 because 7> 5, HP numbers in sports cars, or a million other things heck bedding is market based on high thread count.

I didn't side with anyone all I pointed out was that the argument was invalid because you can't say consumers know enough to benchmark their cards while also saying they can't read numbers on a box! And let's not pretend anyone cared about this until like 5 minutes ago because Nvidia (and in some cases AMD) have done name differentiations without level increases like this since the 556 ti 448 edition for crying out loud. At the exact same time as AMD released their 6950 1gb and their 6950 2gb where the 2gb was actually the 6970 and could be flashed as such making it a totally different card with the only name different being wait for it THE RAM! https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/radeon-hd-6950-1gb-vs-2gb.767470/

Why?? We have already established that even going way way back different ram amounts mean different performance. Your treating the average consumer like their the dumbest person on the planet which in that case they wouldn't even know or care they got a slower card because they would never check or benchmark it. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

AMD pulled this same thing with the Radeon HD 4860 and 4870 (4860 was faster) and everyone was fine with the 3080 12gb soo idk seems like this is bad but not unheard of

To play devil's advocate Technically speaking it literally is only a different in ram. It just so happens the ram bus affects the performance. Also in all seriousness I'm perfectly fine with what Nvidia did it's clearly named different at this point if you don't expect a speed change based on the ram amount (which both Nvidia and AMD have done for years) then your a person who doesn't care about hardcore performance and thus it literally doesn't matter.

Who's going to stop them though? Absolutely no one and no normal person even pays attention to this. That's why I run my own firewall, setup virtual network's and any iot devices that I can't get from a reputable company and requires a a controller I can't host myself are blocked from the web.

This is in some ways how the housing market, dot-com bubble, and even some current lending operations work. It's absolutely terrifying and hilarious at the same time BlockFi created their own bubble by backing FTX which created their own bubble and that lead to investments in other companies that created their own bubble's and backed it all up on basically the WSB subreddit community

I actually used to invest heavily in crypto but exited a while back and took my gains before the entire scheme collapsed. So I feel for the small investors who got caught in this but I have no sympathy for big fish pumping and dumping and pulling fake numbers out of thin air.

No not Ubuntu mobile I'm talking about the current defacto working Linux mobile OS Manjaro. Ubuntu touch has been dead a long time but there are many others alive and working very well at this point. https://www.pine64.org/pinephonepro/

You know custom Linux OS phones exist right? Like that's the entire problem is people keep thinking only android and Apple exist in a bubble. It's absurd these companies have such a grip on people's purchasing power.

Fantastic about time we have competition in the mobile/app store segment. Bring on the Tesla phone

Well people already tag their post with hashtags and so based on that you can make a filtering system. So for example if you want to see what's happening with a sports team you would filter it down to that team and see a condensed chronological timeline of tweets relating to that team simple as that. No boosting down voting brigading or algorithmic manipulation.

I mean that's exactly what we are doing on this forum we read through post as they are written. Having it with no algorithm doesn't mean people can't categorize their tweets so people can then filter the timeline down further if they want.

How about just removing all algorithms and what you see is what you get meaning for instance whatever someone post on Twitter it shows in exactly chronological order on your timeline.

AMD is back to being irrelevant due to their insane price increases (even with this price cut) and crazy motherboard prices

This sounds like the most boring terrible gaming experience possible. Well looks like your playing online guess your game is going to look like crap because someone joined with a laptop Like seriously what the heck kinda idea is that. Do people already forget crisis?? It was the defacto can it run it benchmark forever heck it still is. Why? Because they developed it to absolutely crush GPUs and look dang good. All games should have as many graphics options as possible so as to be able to scale to the lowest level GPU power and beyond the highest tier GPUs.

RIP cryptocurrency 2022 I'm pretty convinced this past month is basically the nail in the coffin for mainstream cryptocurrency

The amount of reporting over Twitter the last few days is absurd. Companies do stupid stuff all the time and it barely gets a paragraph he literally fixed it before the report was published. It's getting stupid at this point that if Elon eats a salad someone reports on it.

You have no idea how true this is. As someone who works in software engineering and has had many discussions with our ad team we can buy any information that was being previously sent from iphones before apples privacy settings and supposedly "secured" your data. All it meant was we have to go through a Apple data broker instead of Facebook to get the exact same info. The words from our ad guy was "don't worry we can still get all the same data we just have to go through Apple to get it"

Yeah no it's really not I literally can't think of one good reason social media needs to exist for
