Well it's good we have those folks at the forum, the alternative would be uninformed morons spouting fanboy propaganda.

lol @ all the amd fanboys.

AMD has had amazing games in their bundles - Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider and FarCry 3 are all amazing games. Metro is also an amazing game. However, i don't really understand why everyone cares what gets bundled, unless you're in the market for a new GPU (which i would understand that the majority of us already have a gpu..) this does not matter.

What actually matters is the performance we get as a result of this. AMD still has trouble in AC3, NV only has trouble (relative to amd cards) in sleeping dogs and even then the performance is fine realistically. NV comes out with drivers very quickly in comparison to AMD, with the exception of Tomb Raider, and even then...

NV delivers on drivers, AMD has a lot more trouble.

If you already have a GPU and are happy about what games get bundled with video cards, while not in the market for a new one, then why are you getting mad at balla for stating financials? This is the whole point of bundling games - to get more sales. If you are not buying a gpu and are happy about this, then you are happy for this fact - the possibility of more sales for your preferred company.

All in all, too many amd fanboys.

Speak for yourself.If AMD dies the show will go on.People will still play games.Life will continue and Green fanboys will gloat....

We live in a world where Bieber's music sells a lot....doesn't mean it's good music.Crap prevails and good stuff is sometimes buried.It happens........

Usher's music sells a lot. Bruno Mars, Maroon5, Train. IMHO they are pretty good. Bieber's music is heavenly to some. mostly pre-teen girls.
BMW and Honda sells an awful lot of cars. They're pretty good, aren't they?

So, your sweeping generalization is meaningless. Thank goodness for that.

Bah, I was || close to going AMD this time because their bundled games were great, and they added Farcry Blood Dragon. That's a very tangible saving in games, cause I would have played them all! Oh well :p

It definitely makes their hardware more desirable with those bundles. They should keep it up.

And this is what we get when we confront someone with logic at AMD headquarters. Sheesh.

Obviously the only reason you would care about what games are bundled with new graphics cards is if you are in the market for a new graphics card. . . . . This needed to be stated?

i would never give AMD any $$ for mediocre hardware. HD 7970 (GE or not) is a top class card and even without game bundles is worth every cent.
While on the market i got what i thought was the best for my money, i didn't get it because AMD was doing great or poorly financially, that's just stupid. I would not buy a GTX 680 just because Nvidia is in great shape financially, i could care less really.

It's strange to see people want to buy product because the manufacturer is charging you more and making more profit. I understand that companies need to make money, but $1000 Titan is just getting raped. Then people come here and brag about it?

This is not the same as people buying Titan because it's the best and they aren't concerned about the price. That's legit. This is paying $1000 and being happy that nVidia made a lot of money off of you. That's dumb.

You're a powder keg. 100% of the time. Rude. Attack prone.

You can't even respond to a post in opposition to your without an attack.
Way to go Nige. Way to go.

Well stop insinuating that I have some kind of affiliation with AMD or ''AMD headquarters''.

Cool?

Post 104 had no such inference. You called the post "crap as usual". You are the antagonist. You get what you give. Remember that.

Also, "AMD headquarters" refers to Anandtech forums.

So you spend a lot of time at 'AMD headquarters??'..:hmm:

Talk about ironic.

Why do you stay here if this forum is so bad?

No doubt. Plenty of sit at computer practicing google-fu Gordon Gekkos pollute every thread with nonsense. Should use some of that 'skill' to go make some money with the endless fount of 'knowledge' they are tapped into via google and nvidia PR releases.

IF one desires to learn a bit - why not listen at least to companies like nVidia and AMD considering they create the products and experiences?

I never realized some think official information from AMD or nVidia is considered polluting to some.

For me, it's a combination of official information, third party investigations and posters with credibility over the years that don't use extremism or blanket terms to express or share their views.

Imho,

Official information can be informative but at times, heavily one sided -- and why in conjunction with third parties and credible gamers may help create some balance.

To dismiss or think of official information as polluting or not worthy of entering a discussion about their thinking, strategies, products or experiences they offer is hard for me to imagine, quite frankly.

Thankfully, there is official data.

highly anticipated AAA game bundled by Nvidia . good for gamers. i don't understand why people don't use a feature like ignore user to avoid turning every thread into a mud slinging contest.
