It looks like some companies are removing the 'gaming' branding on AMD video cards. MSI and Gigabyte have already done so. Is this part of the NVIDIA GPP partner strategy?

    Odd... https://www.gigabyte.com/...VEGA64GAMING-OC-8GD#kf

    Read that url... “rxvega GAMING”

    If you look through the list of cards, there was claims that AMD Auros had been removed and that “Gaming” had also been removed, which is seemingly Wrong as they can both titles can be seen on gigabytes webpage. None of the Nvidia Auros cards are called gaming anymore either... this seems to be like children fighting on a playground.

    I don’t have the cell signal to look up MSI and see if there was actually a change, but asus flat out hasn’t changed anything yet.

    This seems to be a big hype about nothing so far.

    Only thing it has to do with gaming is using the word "gaming".

    That's because they're all being rebranded to mining instead.

    AMD was never the gamer's choice anyway. Even when they try to pay game developers to use API's that supposedly run better on their hardware it's always been a massive failure. With Nvidia killing it with GeForce Experience, Gsync, and all sorts of other GeForce exclusive graphical tech in games to brand an AMD card for gaming is incredibly misleading any way you look at it. The gaming experience on PC is more than simply running a standardized API via hardware these days. That is where Nvidia is shinning and massively growing while AMD is offering nothing competitive.

    Geforce Experience. Ick. 
    Do people actually USE that turkey piece of junk?
     
    AMD is geting competative in the "mainstream" segment for gamers again as the gouge pricing issues start dropping and with the major shortages on the Nvidia side, it's the high end that Nvidia rules.
     

    Now that vorsholk has stopped his abuse, I'm returning to folding.
     I no longer MOO due to abuses by certain "whales" in the Gridcoin community - so I now work the Distributed.net project directly again.

    Nvidia will be the next monopoly that will have to be split up. If AMD falls flat on its face - like it hasn't already - and they close its doors, Nvidia will either a) have to be split up by the government or b) they will raise their prices by $300 if not more.

    I use it to notify me when there is a driver update. other than that, everything is turned off.

    Unlikely, AMD keeps hanging in there in the mainstream part of the market where the bulk of sales are normally made - and they have some major positive momentum feeding them on the CPU side.
     
    There's also the talk out of Intel about getting serious in graphics - but that's probably going to take them a decade or so IF they put the effort and money into it.
