Would You Rather Tech Game 2.0

I dare not to use LTT's naming scheme. It's the Pascal-powered version. Also you need to re-quote me real soon.

I just remembered this post.

Why are you not using the LTT name? I mean, just look at what happened here, you didn't use it and as a result someone asked you which one you were referring to.

Because I feel like the LTT naming scheme leaves an impression of misunderstanding, like what happened already. Nvidia clearly knew the difference between the last Titan X and the new Titan X. This is nothing new whatsoever. Car companies have been doing this for a long time, Apple's been doing it too. What's the deal? Can't Nvidia do the same thing?

Best PC.

 

Would you rather have to replace your keyboard with voice dictation or a resistive touch panel?

Touch panel because saying "W, W, W, W, W, W, AAAAAAAAAAAA NO NO NO A!" won't work well for gaming

 

Edit...:

WYR have a video card cupholder or a magnetic hard drive parts tray?

I can't say much about cars (I'm not very familiar with the industry), but that's one of the things I hate most about Apple. Just because some companies do stupid things doesn't mean it's perfectly fine if other companies pick up the habit.

If it were me at Nvidia, I'd just name it after the year. The Titan X would be the Titan 15, the Titan XP would be the Titan 16, etc. It's efficient, it's logical, it's systematic, and it's expandable. Unfortunately, Nvidia doesn't seem to delegate a lot of their intelligence to marketing, so they don't know how to name things.

 

What re-using the name does is just make it difficult to differentiate the products effectively. You either have to add junk in parenthesis at the end of the name or clarify after being questioned which one you're talking about. It's inefficient and it's unnecessary. It also makes it far more trouble than it should be to search for it online, as even specifying the year or architecture won't change the fact that everything about both cards shares the "Titan X" keyword.

 

If you just continue to call it the "Titan X," all you're doing is making sure that every time you talk about it someone will have to ask you which one.

 

Sorry for the rant, but Nvidia's really been pissing me off lately with their stupid names~

Well, I don't have a video card cupholder, so that one.

 

Would you rather every video card from this point on have the same name, or have them all be referred to by an 8-digit model number?

I would rather have them referred to by an 8 digit model number. At least that way you can tell a difference between them and it is cooler too.

 

WYR only be able to put programs on your taskbar OR only be able to put programs on your desktop?

Taskbar because I already do that.

WYR use all local storage or half local half NAS?

I have a lot more room on my desktop than my taskbar, so desktop.

 

Would you rather have 1Gb internet from Google or 2Gb internet from Comcast?

WYR have six CRT monitors of size 1280x1024 OR have one projector at 50" but is 720?

50" projector because 16:9

Six CRT's, I already have four monitors (only limited by desk space, I'd love more), can't imagine going down to one.

Also... Projector... Blegh.

 

Would you rather the PC industry shift to complete modular enclosures for components and turn everything into a sort of 'black box' (think Project Christine where the company doesn't say what's inside), or switch entirely to green PCB's?

Haha, that's a good one. Tbh, I would actually go with the first gen i7 because things like the i7-920 to i7-980 are still holding strong and competitive apparently even with some newer GPU's. 

 

WYR use an original iPhone which has more feature OR use a newer windows phone which has much (far less) fewer features?

I agree. However with the new Titan X, you may have noticed that I'm referring it by simply calling it "Nvidia Titan X", foregoing the GeForce GTX branding. Maybe calling the new Titan X the "Titan 10" (referring to the GeForce 10 series of GPUs) would have made more sense IMO.

Windows phone. Original iPhone is slow and probably actually had less features. Worse in every way shape and form.

 

Bumper case or glass screen protector?

The problem there is that the Titan X is also an Nvidia card. It's also a bit clunky to always stick "Nvidia" in front of it, after all, nobody says "GTX Titan X" all the time.

"Titan 10" would've been good as well, it's also logical, efficient, systematic, etc...

Bumper case because I just simply hate screen protectors.

 

WYR always use Calibri OR Times New Roman? (for all the font you ever write in, ever)

 

Also, I will have you know that my friend still uses his first gen iPhone because he absolutely hates his windows phone. I know many people that say they wish they hadn't bought a windows phone because it is simply terrible compared to other cheaper devices out there. Also, there is so little apps that people actually use on windows phone.

Calibri. I think. That one is sans-serif right? Serif fonts like Times New Roman have fewer ideal uses. On mobile so I can't change font.

 

WYR drop your phone off 100 feet into concrete  or blow it up?

Those are effectively the same so I'd go with blowing it up since it looks better.

 

WYR submerge your rig in water and hope it survives or submerge it in oil and have it greasy until the end of all days?

Water. As long as it's turned off, I can let it dry off for a few weeks.

I'd rather submerge my PC in oil, and deal with it being greasy, as oil is electrically inert, therefore I can sleep soundly, knowing that my PC hasn't blew up from submerging it, and being worth it at the end of the day (in terms of voiding warranties)

I'd rather have a mouse, that is if I'm allowed to have an MMO mouse so I can pwn noobs in MOBA's all day every day, with one hand

Bent motherboard pins because you never said they had to be CPU sockeet pins

Plus I've had to fix my USB 3 header because of bent pins before and it was easy.

 

WYR have super fast limited (40GB) data or slow unlimited data (like my 2mbps internet )

Unlimited. I need them Netflix movies

Would you rather work as an engineer at Intel and get discounts on Intel products or work as an engineer at NVIDIA and get discounts on NVIDIA products?

Nvidia so I could finally get one of their graphics cards at MSRP.

rekt

WYR buy a used R9 295X2 that was used for bitcoin mining for $200 and hope it lasts or buy a new GTX 1060/RX 480?
