Found and interesting article about Nvidia vs AMD graphics chips.

Found an interesting article, I have to say I disagree with some of the things adressed. Performance of Video cards vary heavily on the other system components as well. You dont just run a game off of a videocard alone. The level 1 PC noob "journalist" keeps on posting fail articles about PC gaming. ugh here you go.

Destructoid? Didn't they recommend a terrible build for a "gaming" computer a few weeks ago?

I think some the parts weren't even compatible with each other.

Not everything is done by him, they usually get people like in this case a college student, to come in and write an "article" for the site. Sometimes they are just waaaaay of Like Kotaku and what not. Its best to stay to gamespot were the PC community knows what they are talking about or actual hardware sites. Sometimes Destructoid try to do too much.

That article is major nerd bait. Destructoid, Kataku, and IGN need to be black listed...

AkimboBFGNinja - I just came across that article about thirty minutes ago and also found it interesting. Thanks for posting it here. I wasn't sure if we could post links to other websites, as some websites seem to be very anti-outside, especially when it comes to links to websites from the same industry/scene. I don't know that much about the inner working of GPUs, so if anyone knowledgeable in here wants to chime in, I'd be interesting in reading your thoughts.

This excerpt entertained me "The second reason AMD is able to charge less than NVIDIA is because AMD is a part of AMD. This helps because AMD not only receives profits from AMD products, but it also gets the same deals and technological advances AMD gets."ferret-gamer

"I hardly blame EA for its reliance on SecuROM in the past. I used to think very ill of EA for doing it, but how can I now? You people will clamor and claw at an early developer build of Crysis 2, just to get out of paying for it. I barely blame publishers using any kind of "Draconian" DRM they want anymore. The only thing pirates do is justify it."

So, what he means to say is that I, a legitimate customer, should have to deal with that **** because of some pirate? Oh, and what's really stupid about this is that right before that he says "You're not fighting the good fight against DRM, because games will get ripped off regardless of the DRM put in."

Like, what? He's basically saying DRM doesn't work, but it's justified to the end of pissing off people who do buy games. All this guy does is make generalizations of PC gamers.

And that's just one flaw within his article. I could list many more.

He's an idiot.

Well, he does qualify later in the article that DRM, at least in his view, reduces piracy. He gives an example of a company that released a game without DRM based on "trust" of its customer base, and that this naivety was punished with massive piracy. I understand that on the surface there seems to be a contradiction with the example you listed, but I agree with the main thrust of his article - that video game developers are being really hurt by piracy and that it hurts the industry (including consumers like you and I). As an observation, of course it's hard to determine how prevalent piracy is. But if torrent search engines are any indication, piracy isn't really so tiny - there are always thousands of downloaders/seeders for new releases. In my view, that's indicative of a widespread problem.

Without a doubt there just nerd baiting the PC community so they can get tons of AD revenue. Also these guys are most likely getting paid on a CPM bases as well. More traffic=more money. Destructoid and Kotaku have been taking advantage of this and it's beginning to get very blatant. IGN has been taking advantage BF3 vs. MW3. Coming up with these stupid bias and senseless articles to get you mad and to attract people.

is jim sterling the stupid retard who couldn't go pass the first enemies in the witcher 2 and couldn't complete the QTE events in the brawl minigame because "it was too hard"?, yeah, the guy it's a massive troll and a gaming crippled, anything that he says should not be taken seriously or hold any respect for him

A lot of hate in here for this Jim guy from Destructoid. Although I never really spent a lot of time looking through that site, it seems alright to me.

What the hell do I need to explain? Try reading it several times and just think to yourself. Can't be that hard. It pretty much explains itself.

Sorry but i can't take destructoid seriously after they gave The witcher 2 a 6/10 review. That review was just hate and malice. it seems more of a 'tabloid' website focused on sensationalism instead of some real journalism.
