Is this forum as pro-intel anti-AMD as tom's hardware ?

I have to say, this is one nice forum.  Wish other forums would use the same software as well.

There was one other forum I found, I forget the name, but they used this software too haha.

[Tech_Dreamer]

On the current forum status we know each other too well, there is occasional fanboy arguments , but it's 'debated' most of the times & not blunt arguments back & forth until one side gives up, those usually gets dampened up quickly by the rest.  it's mostly rationale discussion in the threads,  but you have to do your part right when doing the debate. you don't have to worry about direct silencing or censorship for just petty fanboy stuffs here. may get warning points if things get awkward but it's an open forum for good debates with equal weight levied on both side .

This place is a good relaxing spot for me.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of Tom's Hardware.

 

Not about the community, most of them seem decent from what I've seen. But the site is hard to navigate for me, and it just seems a bit strict. I haven't heard a lot of positive experiences from them.

I don't give the LTT community  a lot of credit as I think most of it is young enthusiasts, but miles above tom's community. Holy shit they are so misinformed and so arrogant about it. One of their top contributors thought TVs had GPUs and that's what made consoles work. Not shitting you, I'm talking thousands of posts, all the badges, most solved threads, etc.

By the way consoles are using CPU and GPU's but they don't have to power a monitor. They are using mainly TV's which have their own in-build graphics cards.

T.V's have their own build in graphics card to power their screens. A monitor doesn't and that is why they are used on PC's. Lets me say this - I am using a Macbook Pro right now on a Samsung 27" Monitor, It lags so much on games and takes so long to boot up, When i plug in my 42" T.V. as my display it runs much faster and boots up way quicker. The Integrated graphics on my MBP can't power the monitor for gaming as it is really only intended to power it's own display. You can plug in 3 T.V's to you laptop and it will still run faster than connecting up one monitor. With a console, most people use it with their T.V and usually never with a monitor.

I aren't saying that it doesn't work well on console, A console has a build in graphics card for just sending the T.V. what goes on the display and/or used to actually power a monitor. A console can power a monitor pretty well, But if you were to play really graphic intense games on it it would lag a lot, if you had a T.V connected it wouldn't be so bad. What graphics card is in your laptop? my MBP has integrated graphics and i tell you it is terrible playing games at 1080p on my monitor. I played crysis 2 on low and it still lagged, High- like 2 fps and below.

complete with me shitting on him just in case anyone see this result on google (toms is always top). No, he's not trolling, I remember checking his other posts and they were also pretty stupid.

Almost every single top google result they have I've come across has an answer that's so wrong it's unbelievable that no one in the thread thought better. It's to the point that I hate them for their good seo. This is toms hardware. So many people like this guy. Sure most of LTT isn't that experienced, but holy shit LTT isn't toms hardware bad

Any real PC enthusiast will provide an honest answer to VS thread, pointing out the strong and weak points of all camps. They should also (depending on age) of had gpu/cpus from all camps getting the best bang for buck that they can. For example, my first PC (i had a laptop previous) was an Intel Pentium with an Nvidia 5200 Ultra, really slow but cheap. Over the years I sort of went

 

Athlon 64 + ATI 9800 pro (flashed to XT)

Athlon 64 X2 +Nvidia 6800 (flashed to GT)

Pentium Dual Core + ATI X1900XT (wouldn't flash to XTX)

 

Then I got more serious around 2009, id bought a lot of used part up til this point

 

Intel i7 860 + AMD 5870

Intel 3770K + Nvidia 670 GTX (killed a memory channel delidding)

Intel 4790k + AMD 280X Vapor X > Nvidia 970 > 970 SLI > Nvidia 1080

Ryzen 7 1700 + Nvidia 1080

 

Sort of locked into Nvidia now due to Gsync - but that's fine right now as since that 280X they have offered the best performance at my purchase point/price

 

I have never got Fan Boys  its not like the brand is loyal to you ...  I feel I always give an honest view point, right now gaming + high refresh 8700k, if streaming or any editing go with Ryzen if viewer side stream FPS is important. People will add other things such as software compatibility etc which is fair enough, but there has been those in the past that just won't accept a camp is better than the other camp for certain scenarios

In all fairness, that one person's post was made about two weeks after he joined -- and people being completely wrong when joining isn't rare on any forum -- including LTT.

Idk I've had both for a very long time and they're fine.

Post was July 2014, He joined October 2013. And his 2016 posts were just as bad, trust me. And he's not the only one, he's just a great example. He wants the badges and most best answers so he just talks out his ass on every thread hoping to get selected.

During the Ryzen premiere you could ask about what kind of GPU to get and the first answer was "get Ryzen"

Happens now, go in the graphics card sub forum lol

Have we addressed that there's no way to be kicked from a forum for asking a simple question yet?

 

Or are we avoiding it?

 

Post is proof to post.

The problem with THG is, anyone with a lot of badges will most surely get selected as the right answer even if their reply has nothing to do with the question. This creates a unfair situation, where new members who gives the right answer first, don't get select as best answer and won't be able to earn any badges to display their knowledge. The other problem they seem to have is this weird thing against single fan AIO. Post a build with a single fan AIO and they hunt you down like pack of angry wolves.

Single fan AIOs don't get much love here either as they only really make sense in a SFF build -- otherwise an air cooler is just as good and cheaper or better and about the same price.

We definitely don't hunt down people that use them though.

Meh, I'm neutral to the companies themselves and will buy whichever product better fits the purpose of my build. This issues is with the fanboy's (seriously how anyone can be a fan of a company is beyond my comprehension). All fanboyism bad in general, but for some reason AMD fanboys are particularly insufferable.

This is a common misconception that I see all the time these days.

It is not unbiased to "point out strong and weak points of all camps". Being unbiased means that you do not care about the camps at all.

Being unbiased means saying "this product is complete trash and you should get this other one instead", if that is the truth.

Quoted for truth.

I used to post on toms hardware about intel is an evil corporation and amd chips are awesomely dirt cheap.

 

A mod comes and told me to stop demonizing intel.

 

i told him to he was a protitute who sold his soul to intel.

 

and banned.... hahaha

 

those were from my younger days. Now I don’t feel like ranting about amd vs intel all that much. I just like to read about Linux, android, programming, and off topics discussions.

You missed my point, I mean they will give an honest opinion of whatever product is the best and why, regardless of who makes it - as I said, there are those that won't accept a product is better ... 

 

if someone is pointing out strong and weak points of all products regardless of who made it, surely its unbiased?

This would be unbiased.
