Hah, these are pretty funny

[R4STABAN]

First one was actually funny

[Skyfire]

Eh, first one was much better. I only found the ending funny (like a teeny weeny bit) ... and I'm tired as. Everything should be funny to me nowwwwwww.

What's his favorite dish?

that ad made no sense

stupid

[kuddlesworth9419]

These adds are better than the average ads you see on TV. But to be honest they aren't needed. Does AMD and Nvidia really need adverts. I think when either company releases new policy or a new card I think there is enough hype generated by PC enthusiasts to monetize enough off of.

Please use search function, because this is not a repost. :) (that did not make any sense)

And that video is awesome!

[WunderWuffle]

LOL That's awesome!

[Coombzy]

on the first one I was surprised an AMD vs Nvidia lawsuit did not occur.

[Youbetternot]

Lol I watched it before you posted :p

Nvidia should hire Linus Media Group to fire back at AMD.

Nvidia doesn't really have much to fire back right now. AMD outperforms their cards at a lower price while also giving away free games. Nvidia does have things such as PhysX and Shadowplay though.

Eclusive things like PhysX will not become popular since nobody likes them. Devs won't develop for it since only about half of the people that play their games would be able to use it, and it sort of just goes from there...

 

Also about the video I hate it when they break tech. It makes me sad...

I agree, for most people, AMD makes the most sense. However, from an advertising perspective, there are plenty of things they could capitalize on. Like you said, they have more features like Shadowplay and PhysX (which is pretty lame, IMO, I just want more physics processing in general, I don't want some gimmicky branding for it). Also the fastest single GPU card (perhaps not for long though).

They also have TXAA, FXAA, CUDA, GPU Boost 2.0, adapitv Vsync, Nvidia Shield, Geforce Experience, and HBAO+.

This ad made no sense... WE'RE NOT GONNA STAND FOR THIS!!!

Off Topic: why are embedded videos not working?

[Opsilon]

Stop arguing, this is lame as all the Nvidia commercials, I must admit last AMD commercial for new APU-s was awesome, but this is ridiculous, when i read your title i taught new AMD CPU optimizations is out and some magic happened, was hyped, and now i am...

anyway AMD more value for money

Nvidia more power but expensive, what else is new...

I wish AMD would reach on Linus to do some of these commercials, it would be the best thing in the world!!

[ivhyn]

Now it's faster but sounds like an F16 taking off

That's a compromise.

Word.

[TERAFLOP]

All I have to say about TXAA is this :

Overall, TXAA should be avoided. We don't know how this quality of TXAA got implemented into the game and left there. It seems like somebody took the day off when quality control of TXAA image quality rolled around that day. TXAA destroys the gameplay experience in Crysis 3.

FXAA works just fine on AMD cards.

AMD has MLAA which is used in SMAA, OpenCL, Unlocked Voltage Control, Dynamic V-Synch, AMD Vision, HDAO, Never Settle, better compute performance & more VRAM + higher bandwidth per GPU.

GPU Boost 2.0 is actually worse than a fixed clock rate, because it causes throttling, it even caused the 770 to underperform the 680.

So you get a gimicky feature instead of proper overclocking and over-volting.

Nvidia touts Adaptive V-Synch as if they invented it, when in fact AMD users have had it available for over 5 years on every graphics card.
