Never thought I’d see the day where Intel was doing decent graphics for once instead of shitty integrated crap LMAO
I am having a hard time choosing between rooting for them or against them, to be honest.
Intel is still the same company that served us overpriced crap for years while AMD was lagging behind, but at the same time I’d love to see more competition in the space. I just wish it wasn’t Intel….
I guess for the consumer it’s a net gain, and that AMD would probably do what Nvidia does today, were they on their shoes. They all work for the shareholders in the end, not for making gaming better and cheaper for us, so make them fight for the customers.
You don’t have to pick sides. More competition is good for consumers regardless of whether you are ever going to buy an Intel GPU.
In the same boat, not sure if I’ll purchase Intel again after the issues with the latest CPU gens. But more competition in the market is always good.
Personally hoping some Chinese GPU company makes a break through in the western market too because consumer pc pricing is so out of touch these days
Still waiting for a B770…
Don’t take my word for it, but I gather the BMG G31 die has been shelved. I don’t think we’ll see larger battlemage dGPUs than B5XX released to market.
There are dozens of us!
I bought a low profile, low power A380 for a minitower linux machine to get something with enough power to smoothly run a modern high resolution desktop with minimal heat and sound. It has worked exactly as I hoped! Driver support seems perfectly solid, in comparison with my prior machine on a GTX750Ti. Hardware video decoding for modern codecs, variable refresh rate, etc. It have just been a solid trouble-free experience, which has been unusual in my prior experiences with Linux GPU support.
