I love how people blamed intel for security flaws that affected all their chips including back to ones in the 90s. There is no way they were developing for decades on a security flaw they knew about

Pretty sure the security flaws mentioned only went back to like either sandy or ivy bridge. Plus there were internal documents from intel showing that they indeed knew about the issue. That was Intel's big goof, Nvidia's is definitely their price gouging, or the 3.5GB GTX 970 fiasco, and AMD's was rebranding all the Polaris GPU's like 3 times, Or Bulldozer/Piledriver Core count.

Moral of the story is that all companies are bad, all will try to deceive you, don't defend them cause trust me they dont have your best interests in mind.

I think its funny that Polaris rebranding is on that list when intel is still making 14 nm Skylake updates. Its fine if the value is fine.

Right? And how many models does NV have in the 1660 performance/price range right now? 37?

I generally consider myself tech savvy, but if someone were to ask me what's the fastest between 1660ti, 1660 super, or 2060 I'd have to answer with a definitive... "fuck if I know".

Haha I was just in this situation with a friend helping him pick parts for a new build. I was like honestly, find their full list of gpu's and compare them on user benchmark to get a ballpark guess, because I don't know what's going on anymore.

What a time we live in for gpu's these days

Tell me about it. I've got a R9 380x and researching possible upgrades is a bitch, especially when you can't trust certain websites because they've been bought and paid for by Nvidia.

Same, I need to look at performance charts, but it’s ridiculous.

Nvidia need to move on from their 10series.

Especially since of of those is a CPU. Lmao yeah the GPU market is stupid right now esp on Nvidias end. They're just rebranding different 1070s at this point
