"If one manufacturer's product works for a given enthusiast's application without issue, and the other does not, that points to the manufacturer, NOT the "idiot complaining.""
Been plenty of times I've seen it be the fault of the idiot complaining because they forgot to install the goddamned chipset drivers that would allow the video card to be seen in the first place on the PCI-E bus as anything other than a generic VGA device.
Sounds like you don't know shit about real technology problems.
You must be very very young then, child, and should probably not be talking on this thread until you know the difference between an AMD card and an ATi card.
"All new games released from this point will probably patch your Switch for you."
I mean, even reading the fucking summary states that this is purely hardware and no software can fix it, because it's locked down and can't be modified due to burnt-out e-fuses.
"it can also deliver about 2x more instantaneous current due to the adjusted proportions."
Uh, no not really. It can deliver more current because of additional and thinner layers providing more surface area for electrons to travel across, plus a tweaked battery chemistry.
I'm eagerly waiting for you to learn how to read and do some critical fucking thinking.
But then again anyone that actually paid any attention in high school world history class might have a clue. Have you even graduated high school, yet, child?
Paul Graham is a person that isn't aware of any consequence of any action he takes.
"You are submitting too fast, please slow down."
Except someone with an immediate need is asking a question and apparently nobody in the thread except me (who can't post because apparently I'm posting 'too much') has the right answer.
HN is useless for any sort of long and involved discussion, and quite often useless for short flippant ones. But Paul can't see that problem he created while trying to control how people communicate, like the power-tripping jerk he truly is.
"If Intel was acting against AMD they wouldn't have just released the new Core i7-G parts with on-board Vega M GPU."
I see someone doesn't know one of the most cliched pieces of Roman History, which has been repeated time and time again through corporations and governments alike.
If you're an intel user you might want to step away from them, too, because I bet they're one way or another giving nVidia some cash to do this to AMD. Intel is well-known for pulling anti-competitive bullshit and partnering with known-bully nVidia to do more anti-competitive shit against AMD just makes sense.
" Every time a new game comes out the Steam forums are filled with folks complaining about AMD with at least a 3 to 1 ratio to the nVidia comments."
Almost every idiot I see complaining is running OCs that no sane person should even attempt with liquid cooling because suddenly VRM airflow no longer exists due to the missing heatsink/fan combo that usually sits there. "My system shuts down with an overheating warning or thermal throttling issue! This GPU sucks!" Yea, GPU probably ain't your issue, because not a single GPU I've ever had has given me a problem, from Trident, Cirrus Logic, STi, S3, ATi, nVidia, or even Rendition.
They just don't know how to build a stable fucking system because they do stupid shit like only reading logical increments.
"How's the performance of GPU pass through for 3D graphics / games?"
If you're going the RemoteFX route, utter shit for 'modern' Windows now days compared to Win 7/Server 2008R2. Literally halved performance because of some Microsoft fuckery.
I'm looking at a Radeon 560 for $140. GPU prices started dropping the moment that Ethereum ASIC got announced and people got scared their GPU rigs would become useless. There is a glut of cards on craigslist right now.
Bullshit. I have a Ryzen 5 1400 and an i3-7320, both have identical GPUs. The i3 got the patches the other day and GTAV went from a solid 60FPS at 1440x900 to not being able to average 45.
Guess you forgot all the modern GTA games are mad CPU drivers versus GPU.
" but to a spa- they want only young attractive people."
Sure wasn't like that at my (expensive) Hotel del Coronado vacation the other week. I got an elderly short man that looked like he could've been a professional horse jockey doing my deep-tissue Swedish.
"Moreover, I would bet that it wasn't the sound, but the particulates that did it."
All spinning rust hard drives are fully-sealed against particulates. SSDs don't need that, and the stuff used in electronics fire control tends to be non-conductive.
A lot of times the idiot scammer doesn't hide their Caller ID, which makes it very easy to trace to a call center whose VoIP is provided by Level3 or one of their direct subsidiaries.

"The problems precisely come crawling out of the woodwork when you're not willing change GPU "about every 3 years"."
Yea? Tell that to my Radeon 5770 which still works, how many years later, with no driver issues?
"I've had exclusively AMD for the last 15 years or so"
ATi only got acquired in 2006.
"Every third graphic card I got AMD"
You must be very very young then, child, and should probably not be talking on this thread until you know the difference between an AMD card and an ATi card.
" Keep it unhacked and be able to play new games that come out that require the latest Nintendo updates"
Uh, no, because Nintendo can't update the hardware because of burnt fuses in the firmware chip.
"All new games released from this point will probably patch your Switch for you."

Ahem, direct at the top of your fucking article: This list is incomplete;
Useless source to be quoting numbers from.

Et tu, Brutus?
You come over here and mill the tungsten I have to work, and then talk to me about manufacturing tolerances.
Tolerances include more than just one basic measurement. More like twenty-plus, and most of them not concerning the part itself.
We were doing it in VM between 'machines' and VDI and RDP both got halved on GRID GPUs when switching from 7/2008R2 to Windows10.
Literal halving in any benchmark you could throw at it under any configuration.
Microsoft did something with video memory access in a virtual environment and fucked a lot of good things up.

I went with the 1400, it's basically a cold version of the FX-9370 I was running.

You still failed at reading the article, and so did the people that modded your stupidity up.
Same reason idiots continue to perpetuate the scam crypto-economy.
Because they think they're smart enough to avoid being part of that 80% that gets fucked.
As we see, they are obviously not that smart.
A lot of times the idiot scammer doesn't hide their Caller ID, which makes it very easy to trace to a call center whose VoIP is provided by Level3 or one of their direct subsidiaries.
If you had read the full article, that is explained. As in he went undercover for his book about low-paying jobs.
