HAHAHA, you guys are hilarious, throwing out words like "destruction" and "troll". On a final note, I am neither a troll, nor have had anything I've said be destroyed. I don't know how any of you interpreted the things I've said and mixed them around to try and make it seem like I said something completely different, but I know very well that Polaris will be out in JUNE, with Pascal coming out roughly at the same time, but I believe, based on what I've seen that Pascal will be released later and AMD will beat team Green to the punch. NV is only demoing one of it's cards this coming month. For a release to follow so soon after is a bit suspicious, but again, I'm not saying I know everything or can predict the future, just iterating/relaying the information that's out there. How anyone can "destroy" factual information is, well, g'head and think what you want.
As for AMD's planned comeback...uh, they've been planning a comeback ever since restructuring and hiring Jim Keller to design a whole new CPU architecture. This has been 4+ years in the making. I've been following them since the T-Bird days and prior to their aquisition of ATi (9700Pro ftw at the time).
As for AMD having had faster cards. I check some benchmarks and the 7990 still outperforms the titan, the 295x2 destroys the Titan, and this Pro Duo is untouchable. So...you can "defend your honor" and NVidia all you want, but the numbers speak for themselves. Proove otherwise.
In terms of the video being a fake...I dunno, maybe it is, I simply found it, saw that it was using a ton of VRAM, which coincides with the benchmarks and metrics of other user's systems that are running cards with 6+GB, showing that all 6 are used up at 4K with Ultra settings. The point I was trying to make remains valid. Fury X with only 4GB of HBM performs equally as good if not better than the NVidia 980Ti at 4K resolution, even when upwards of 6GB of VRAM is called up on an NVidia card, but AMD seem to have done a good job with the 4GB of HBM. This is not deniable. Again, try to "destroy" facts all you want, you'll just look retarded.
Sorry for defending myself when people come at me with condescending mannerisms first. I simply came on here to correct a lot of bad and ignorant statements about the Pro Duo.
You can tell me I don't know anything about VRAM allocation or how a GPU works or that I'm not one of the engineers behind is so there's no way for me to really know, and I will admit that I'm not one of the engineer who made it, so I don't know every detail about its design, but I do know and understand everything I've ready about these subjects and will only iterate/reiterate what I've read, so any type of insults toward me for doing so is really not directed at me, but the source of my information, which is fine if you want to spend your time doing it.
Am I an AMD fanboy? Yes, absolutely. Am I some crazy troll who comes out and creates a profile for a forum just to annoy people? No, but perhaps I have annoyed people anyway. Do I care? No.
So again, I'm only rude and condescending when I've been treated with rudeness and condescending mannerisms. So come at me all you want, but as you can see from how I responded to people who posted respectfully to me, I responded respectfully to them. Simple matter of treating people the way I've been treated, which is my twist on the golden rule, and one that I will never sway from, no matter how hard anyone tries to attack me for it, completely ignoring the why.
I'm not trying to promote AMD with "vendor specific" anything, but when AMD has something good on their hands, and everyone seems to hate on it, because it's AMD and they developed a bad reputation over the years, I'm going to come in and correct the ignorance if I can. The reason for all the posts, is because I responded to just about everyone's posts all at the same time, no "trolling" intended there or spamming of the thread. Could I have put all my responses in one post, sure, but did I care to spend the extra effort in doing so when I could simply click a "reply" button to get the job done? No. Do I care about forums and moderators who try to "clean up" a thread, asking people not to post multiple posts? No. They can clean it up if they want to. I have been a moderator of a forum for a company before, I understand the job, and generally give it respect, but when the forum displays such idiocy, I'm going to call it out.
What I expect, if you all are of a certain type of people, is to receive responses about how I'm the ***** and how I don't know what I'm talking about, and how AMD sucks, how I'm a troll, fanboy, marketing agent for AMD, that there are benchmarks there that show the opposite of what I posted (how about your video is fake. ever think about that? - even if it doesn't use all 4GB at 1080P, it WILL use them all and more at 4K Ultra, so...what have you to say about that? Nothing). If, perhaps more of you more intelligent, calm, collected minds responded first, I would have a much better outlook on this forum (I don't care that you don't care what my outlook is), but unfortunately, the intelligent people don't respond until much later, after the squabbling has already gone down. Perhaps, because they have jobs they tend to first during the day, who knows?
I am a man of science. I use numbers and metrics to defend information that I've come across, which is in a position to be defended, if I care about the subject enough to defend it.
The fact is: My opinion of the Pro Duo is that it is an incredible card. Overpriced? Yeah, but still the best performing card on the planet, which is why it costs as much as a Titan, which, whoever said they only sell for $999 is dead wrong.

So, $3000 it is, but you get free shipping, so it's cool. Nope. It costs twice as much as a Pro Duo and...

Would anyone care to debate this subject with intelligence, rationale, and reason? This I would welcome and am always open to learning new things from anyone with enough information that I don't have, and the ability to explain what they know.
