AMD Fanboy vs. NVIDIA Fanboy: So Much Rage
Tuan Nguyen Jun 24, 2015
"AMD's Fury X is now out the door, and the performance benchmarks show what they show. We have a card priced the same as NVIDIA's GeForce 980 Ti. Performance is honestly good from both parties, but in the community, it all doesn't matter. Somehow, all that matters is that one person is an "AMD fanboy" and another person is an "NVidiot." Yes, that's an actual term.
Why is this? Frankly, it's just bad human nature.
I've been writing about technology for 20 years and I've never seen the community as rough as it is today. People always say that competition is good for the consumer, but it seems like the consumer these days prefers if one company is outright dead. This is never a good thing, especially when there is only really just two in one playing field. Without one company on the tails of another, improvements will stall and we'll all be on the losing end.
Make no mistake though, I'm not here to defend one company over another. But the infighting in the community is a tragic and ill situation. Not only is there more than enough fighting between PC users and Mac users, PC users fight amongst themselves too. It's really quite sad and the community tends to fall into a state of decay.
I'm a lover of technology, all technology. I use both iOS and Android devices. I use PCs and Macs, Windows, OS X, and Linux. I have a PS and an Xbox. Technology moves and I move with it. The more I know about the broad technology landscape, the better I am for it. The sort of discrimination that happens in the PC community extends to phones as well. But this torrid situation doesn't exist in just tech, it exists in all forms of human interaction and it's an unfortunate thing.
There are so many differences between us as humans, and we already have enough grief as a society. Technology is the one thing we can rally behind and be on the same boat about.
Maximum PC has always been about technology at its root. As users of technology, we should be opened minded in our pursuit of great tech, new tech, transformative tech, and the future of tech. We should be happy that people are using different things and embracing different ideas. Use the technology that you like and whatever is suitable for what you want to do.
So which camp do I fall into? Green, Blue or Red?
Who cares. I fall into the camp that makes the best technology.
