i told my friedn who is smart about computers that i want to get a gtx 1080 or a r9 490x and he replied with

him - go nvidia

me - y?

him - Cuda If and has something new nvidia will take it  over real quick, but mad will normally not
Physx

me - what does physx do?

him -  Search it up :P
PhysX is basically for physics
You know like gravity etc

 

i just want to know what he means by this and if it is a good reason to go nvidia over amd

it's not a good reason

physx - there's like 2 or maybe 3 games that use it - none of them worth playing

cuda - google just released GPUCC

PhysX runs on the CPU in it's basic form and only 2-3 games use Advanced physX

Actually quite a bit of good games use physX. Metro LL, borderlands, you get the point. But it's really not a feature to stress over. OpenCL is just as good as Cuda if not better but isn't marketed nearly as well, because it's open to all platforms (like the name suggests)

Current PC: Origin Millennium- i7 5820K @4.0GHz | GTX 980Ti SLI | X99 Deluxe

you should buy the best value GPU - what is your budget?

Bullshit. The only thing that you would look for when buying a GPU is FPS.

CUDA is professional stuff. No games use it.

PhysX is super niche, and almost irrelevant in the gaming industry.

Quote

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.
