Why Are People So Stubborn?

[eLucid]

So I got into this argument on facebook abou intel an amd cpu's. What triggered the argument is me stating that for $1300 USD you'd better not get an AMD. Then he came back with, I just prefer AMD so I'm sticking with it. Right away just absolute 100% unfiltered bias. I then presented him with a $1300 build including an i7-4790K. He then replied stating that he'd still prefer an AMD cpu, specifically an 8350. I replied basically saying that that's the most retarded thing I've ever heard, and that even a fucking 4460 could outperform the 8350 in gaming. He then replied saying like some how dare I say that Intel is better than AMD and some other bullshit. I then replied stating that I never said that, and asked him to quote me saying that. He never did. He that replied saying that he's used the "i5" and he's used the "i7" and thought they were amazing, that they were wonderful even, but that he still prefers AMD. Once again going back to the bias thing. Then he said some shit about how Intel is so much more expensive. Then I guess he removes the post entirely, which basically means that he pussied out. I then proceed to DM him stating this: "the i5 4460 costs 10 dollars more than the 8350 so your argument about cost is invalid. The 9590 is inherently an over priced piece of shit and anyone who knows anything about computers will tell you the same thing. "  He then just replied with this and logged off of his account: 

 

 

You have proved even more that you're stuck up Intel's ass.

 

Come back when you have experienced both sides.

 

This argument is over. Good bye.

 Some fucking people man. 

 

Most people are stubborn, some are just more stubborn than others.

i know

thats why i said they suck for gaming

 

paying 3x more for the same performance means it sucks for gaming

They can be overpriced, yeah.

Doesn't mean they don't game well.

[STRMfrmXMN]

Nah. I agree Intel CPU's are better. But he's went around giving false information such as telling people that the 280x gets extremely hot and what not. 

I'm not sure how hot it gets but from what I've researched previously around the time of the 970 release the 280X and it would hit similar temps, right?

An area x51 is around $200 more than a similarly spec'd custom pc.

I wouldnt pay $2400 for a PC with a 270 in it

[Yoinkerman]

Have you experienced both sides? I have a 8320 and a 4670k and they're both good gamers. If he really wants amd, he really wants amd.

It has Titan Z's in SLI

[pckid]

Well I thought It did, maybe it was an higher end option.

He proceeded to insult my heritage proving how much of a piece of shit he is. 

[Opeth747]

They're priced better on their official website. 

[Misanthrope]

To be fair there are both practical and ideological cases for supporting AMD. The practical is not really present here (that's more for lower end builds or not entirely focused on gaming rigs on a budget and such, though the tech is so outdated now even those are marginally useful at this point) but also people just might not like to support intel because they still do shit like charging a huge premium for a basic on/off switch to allow you to overclock and hold back progress to continue to increase their profits.

But there is no AMD CPU for a $1300 build that makes sense.  

[Opeth747]

It honestly depends on the task.  Both AMD and Intel have great processors, but people buy them for the wrong tasks all the time.  If you're doing heavy core work AMD is usually better, but if you are doing heavy single core tasks then Intel is better.  

Yeah, I meant for gaming.

That's why I said not in this particular case.

Holy shit, close the fucking laptop lol. If he annoys you, turn off the computer, close Facebook or something.

It's not that, it's that I though he was an intelligent person who was above all this bullshit.

It doesn't matter, the second he starts to annoy you, end the conversation and move on to something else. There's no need wasting your life on trying to persuade someone when they aren't gonna buy it. And it goes for that guy too.
