Nvidia is the Apple/Nike/Mcdonalds of GPUs. People buy them because they don't know better but they go with the "brand name" premium.

There are hundreds of restaurant chains. There are like 3 gpu manufacturers. Not much choice.

I'm sorry when was the last time ATi provided SGSSAA and control panel forcible HBAO, fag?

AMD = 5guys
Apple = Wendy's
Intel = McDonalds
nVidia = Burgerking

It's blast processing like sega genesys. Instead of processing one bullet at a time it blasts them like a shotgun shell shooting two shells of pellet numbers into each other at a time instead of one. This blast processing allows more computation so we can have ais like agent smith in the matrix.

>brand name
No it's for the driver support. They still ship drivers that work on Solaris. Does the competition's first party even work properly on more popular systems like Windows or Linux?
I'd rather use something with open source drivers that work and quality hardware but there hasn't been a competitor to Nvidia yet. It's been many years and I'm still waiting for someone to supplant them but nobody is trying.

True
>People buy them because they don't know better
Wrong, they are just sadly the better choice we have at the moment, their competitors had many opportunities to overthrow them yet always failed to capitalize on the chances given to them on a golden plate, all they had to do was offer what their customers wanted but their greed always stood in the way.
>they go with the "brand name" premium.
Not really, everyone would jump with joy at the chance to throw ngreedia if there were other better products.

>Nvidia is the Apple/Nike/Mcdonalds of GPUs
yes, they are the absolute fucking cancer.

A big mac is like $8 now and the pickles are thicker than the meat patty
>>
>>108527393
People will go out of their way to eat Mcdonalds in Walmart instead of just buying the fucking ingredients there

AMD is jeet coded. Not using it sorry!

Mcdonalds is completely pointless now. It's expensive and it sucks. You're better off ordering chilis or applebees to go if you want fast food. It will be better goyslop for the same price
>>
>>108527426
Isn't every fast food chain overpriced as shit? It's still fast food, the absolute lowest bottom of the barrel in food service
>>108527453
"Eating out" is not the same thing as buying ingredients and cooking yourself, they're inherently different concepts. A McDonalds in a Walmart is the trashiest, cheapest, saddest way to eat out that I can imagine.
>>
>>108527855
Walmart and major chains carry fast food stuff now in the frozen/pantry section. If you want checkers fries for example just buy a bag of it dont go to checkers.
>>
>>108527878
I suppose but again if you want to go eat out, a frozen mcdonalds burger doesn't get you that, it gets you driving back home and putting it in the oven to unfreeze and warm it and then eating back home in your kitchen.
