Discussion Nvidia Blackwell in Q1-2025

I'm sure nVidia would be a challenge.

Getting a reference card to melt would be hard. That's true.

But there's more than enough opportunities to terrorize Gigabyte or MSI and to some extent, ASUS.

Before caller ID, automatic phone systems and Internet support / email support, that was true. Today, it's pretty much impossible to be the degree of annoyance that gets things done.

I think these days if you want a company to do something you just need an Instagram or Twitter account with enough followers. No one but you gets to see their awful customer support hidden behind their phone system, but the whole world can watch them failing and flailing on social media.

Buy followers with crypto you mined on the 4090.

In this space none of that is necessary. If you have a legit beef just hit up Tech Jesus. The GN team will have their C-suite or direct underlings on camera sweating bullets before it's over.

That Newegg one was pretty brutal. There were four guys in the room and only one had been there for more than 1-2 years IIRC. That and Artesian Builds come to mind.

Not that they sent the A team or seriously altered any of their shenanigans, but Asus was another good one - https://gamersnexus.net/news-features/confronting-asus-face-face

He's moody. I sent him a request to do a deep dive on why Arrow Lake sucks so much out of the box. No reply. No video that I'm aware of.

He made me sad

Unfortunatly nobody really does deep dives anymore. A better person to ask might be someone over at Chips and Cheese. It's more of a resource thing with GN and ARL is old news by now.

LOL no one cares about arrow lake.

I hit Steve up about the low quality Aresgame PSUs, and he got back to me in 15 minutes. Turned out they were testing them and would have a vid about it imminently. I tested one for daily driving and it started failing in 6-7 months. The smooth brained toasty bros were promoting them at the time.

Maybe he hates russian sounding names? Please send him my request for Arrow Lake deep dive, won't you?
