That’s a troll that got approved. Don’t bother.

Video Card brand loyalty has always mystified me, people get damn near rabid over what card they use it’s hysterical. 

You might be right, but where’s the evidence? I’m not trying to be argumentative here, but I haven’t read anything from AMD, or even rumors that a hardware site feels come from a strong-enough source to make a story out of, that definitively say “Navi is a only mid-tier GPU that’ll give AMD something to compete with…

Except even this card isn’t entirely easy to recommend for productivity, either. This card is only good for things it’s good at. Which is few things. For this price point and their ridiculous presentation, that obviously no one took seriously including themselves, this should be a full stop recommendation.

If you’re a gamer, you go NVIDIA. If you’re productivity and need the HBM you go Radeon VII. It’s basically that simple. There’s zero reason to get this card as a gamer, more power, more heat for no appreciable gain and less features that may matter for gaming. 

In productivity, maybe. In gaming, not by a very long shot.

yes but how many games support ray tracing?

I bought my 970 number of years ago for £120 second hand before 1000 series came out, ...feels like a lifetime ago now 

TL;DR: AMD still has no GPU’s that are able to compete with high-end NVIDIA cards in gaming.

I doubt it. Personally even when I have used subpar passwords related to personally identifiable info (I know, this is a bad idea, shut up) in the past it’s at least involved enough additional random characters you’d need to breach the service handling it or resort to brute force.

I’d usually scoff at a theory that involved someone faking his own death, but the crypto world is so murky, and this story is already so nuts, that I’m inclined to agree.

So weird that large cryto exchanges often end up in a situation where they have millions of dollars but can’t pay out and they often just vanish will millions of dollars.

I work for a bank, in IT. The amount of work it takes to ensure that your money is available when and where you want it is basically my full-time job. I maintain dozens of servers whose only job is to take files of transactions, requests, payments, etc. and move them to other servers where they are processed and the…

Oh, I think the guy’s still alive. From my reading, it looks like the firm received the Bitcoin equivalent of a margin call in January, and could not cover it. If you knew that you had a margin call coming, wouldn’t it make sense to got to India and fake your death? I mean, if the gentlemen in question has actually…

Like Enron stocks. Or with Bernie. Safe as can be.

Regulation bad! Complete freedom good!

Apparently they were running a fly-by-the-seat-of-pants amateur operation.

Tell me again why I should ever bother with putting my fake money in a fake bank? Seems sort of vaguely poetic justice-like all of this, seeing as how many people have been burned by the crypto bubble, how much electricity wasted, and how graphics cards were ludicrously expensive for normal people for like two years…
