#293 - Q&A: Is NVIDIA Dying?

More info: http://www.3dgameman.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58752

As most of know all the talk these days is about NVIDIA discontinuing a number of video card products, company mismanagement, reseller/consumer relation issues and much much more. Is this really what's going on? I myself emailed NVIDIA on this very topic with no reply. Now this is nothing new, as I've emailed NVIDIA in the past many many times and have gotten no response. This is not typically the case with companies, at least not from my experience. Typically when I email companies most them get back to me with hours, some within minutes. And let me tell you, I've sent out a lot of emails to companies over the years.

People have asked me why I don't video review many NVIDIA products. Well it's because I really can't get hold of anyone there and when I do I'm usually ignored. I know 3dGameMan.com might not be one of the top 3 tech sites on the planet, but you'd expect a response of some sort. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to video review NVIDIA products, it's just I really haven't had much of an opportunity to do so. If a companies policy is to burn bridges and treat people this way we all know where they are headed. And this is very unfortunate, because compilation in the video card market is a good thing. I guess on the bright side, if NVIDIA does slip into the abyss another company will buy them out and fire a few CEOs and they'll be afloat again.

So NVIDIA, please find the time to get back to me or at least respond to this video as many many people are wondering what is really doing on.

@johannes19969 Thanks.

[johannes19969]

@samuelrosenbalm buy better cooler like noctua´s nh d-14

[samuelrosenbalm]

@johannes19969 If only I could - I'm using the Hyper 212+. I would fry it within minutes if I tried (although according to Prime95, I am safe at 4.50GHz for moderate stress levels).

[johannes19969]

@samuelrosenbalm oc it to 5ghz then it wont be the bollleneck ;)

[samuelrosenbalm]

@johannes19969 I cannot imagine having four of these beasts. I have two, and it's all the power I can handle. :)

I do think even the most powerful CPU would bottleneck 6970X4.

It is like feeding pigs. If the pigs can eat faster than you can dump the slop, then you're a bottleneck.

Even my Sandy Bridge (i5 2500k), which is one of the most powerful CPU's for gaming, bottlenecks my 6970X2 at 4.00GHz and under.

@samuelrosenbalm i know the cpu were the bollteneck when you use 4 hd 6970 , but it is possible to do ;) and bf3 scals good with 4 gpus too

@CrAzY3AGL3 I was just messing with you, too. I knew you were european and english wasn't your first language.

I know the 590 is a very high end card - but it did have bad drivers. Not anymore, but it did.

The thing that makes the 6970X2 is good bargain is it's scaling in crossfire. If gives you the performance of an $800 card for less.

AMD drivers aren't the best, that's why I recommend Nvidia to people new to PC gaming.

AMD cards take work, I only recommend them to people who aren't new.

@samuelrosenbalm English is not my first language xD your mad, ati fan boy now i don't hate ati i just don't like them i own some of ati cards like 5770 and 5750 and 590 low end ? i don't think so mate. Also i was just messing with you all along 6970X2 is a good card but ati made some awful cards in the past.

[samuelrosenbalm]

@CrAzY3AGL3 I'm "a" trash? Well, at least I'm "a trash" that uses proper grammar and can spell.

Oh, the 590 is the best selling card? Well, best selling must mean most powerful, right?

Wrong.

I have benchmark data from several sources that confirm what you refuse to accept...

The 590 is a low-end piece of shit - just like you! You two go so well together!
