AMD has been secretly developing autonomous driving solutions

It cannot look bad on NVIDIA if EVGA is causing the problem. 

 

It is an EVGA issue, plain and simple. Ford should not take the hit because I put wheels on my car that are too big for the body. Same thing here. It's EVGA's doing. NVIDIA has nothing to do with it besides using a GPU which has no bearing here. 

It will... Who else does EVGA make cards for ? And who's the other company in this business deal who will lose out on sales ? Certainly not AMD nor Intel.

 

If you bought a car your dealer has nothing to do with the fact you put shitty wheels on it and that would be your own fault, that doesn't even relate to NVIDIA and EVGA's business relationship. (I'm saying your analogy is bad not the relevance of cars and wheels)

Can you define to me how this affects NVIDIA by any realistic means when ASUS and Gigabyte also manufacture cards for them? 

 

This has nothing to do with NVIDIA, and has to do with EVGA wholly.

You can if it's their GPU generating all the heat, and if it's their reference cooler.

So just like Nvidia's Reference cards. Both AMD and Nvidia have hot running reference cards.

Maybe this will be true?

Close yet since Fermi the red car catches on fire somehow

Except people aren't rational like that. People WILL go around telling people not to buy nVidia graphics cards when theirs went up in flames. They won't go around complaining about EVGA, because they don't know (and likely don't care) that EVGA put the card together and that it was the VRM solution that EVGA chose that caused the problem.

 

All they know is they had "an nVidia" in their PC, and it caught fire, and they will tell everybody they know not to buy "an nVidia" because it will cause a fire (and that kind of argumentation tends to sway people away from a brand, because nobody wants a fire in their house).

 

So yes, EVGA fucking up the VRM on certain SKUs will reflect badly on nVidia.

Gotta love how people constantly makes fire jokes about AMD, when Nvidia numerous times holds the record for the hottest cards ever. You know like Fermi and the EVGA's Pascal series firestarters. 

 

Anyways, autonomous cars are a bit scary. We will get fully selv drivable cars at some point, but right now the focus should be on driver assistance.

As someone whos 98% amd, they are more consistant. My last gpu was 2x 6990s. Literal jet engine space heaters.

Then people need to rationalize the situation and realize NVIDIA is not to blame, and shouldn't be to blame. And people need to start caring about who's at fault because they're going to blame someone who didn't actually do it, and regardless of how they feel about any one manufacturer, it's not fair to NVIDIA to be blamed for something they didn't do.

Well that's just how it works in the real world, and not the ideal one where the informed consumer exists. I see it almost every day in my job from people of whom you would expect them to understand where the first point of contact is not at fault.

Heh. If peeps were rational, then Nvidia and AMD's market share would've been 50:50.

Great to explore different waters.

Man lately companies sure love cars.

So this is how AMD is planning to fix their poor drivers? Very interesting.

I thought both companies have had their share of driver issues.

Considering how many contracts AMD gets from Apple they could get another one if Apple is indeed working on smart car tech. It is also a possibility that Apple would use their own A series chip instead of buying chips from someone else.

I was hoping some one would spell it out

Mean like how people blame other people for stuff even though that person never had anything to do with the situation ? Humans aren't very rational, very few are and even then the few that are rational, they aren't fair because we have a thing called bias and that tends to sway or cloud people's judgement. Plus we like to pin the blame on the person who'll probably take the harder fall.

Was it the mobile 8600 that literally set some laptops on fire? Of course, if it was overheating you can also blame the laptop maker and it's cooling solution (was it Dell?). If it was a component failure, on the other hand... I just remember there were massive recalls.

 

 

Anyway: Nvidia, AMD, Tesla, trolley dilemma, all the same to me... The unanswered question remains: what will we do if when the BSOD comes?

AMD is developing a new ARM core called K12. Jim Keller co-designed it with Zen, so it's likely to impress.
