I'm just curious, nvidia backed me into a corner with the nvidia shield.

Since I got it, ive been using moonlight to play witcher 3 and just cause 3 on my phone over lte (unlimited unthrottled data) with a bluetooth controller - forget a switch, I have full fledged AAA titles in my pocket.

plus ethernet connected shields on every tv. nothing like pausing, walking to the other room, and resuming on a different tv.

I wish their top end was a little less absurdly expensive, though.

What keeps you team green or team red?
 
Solution
People that choose team green because they want the best performance GPU. This is because NVIDIA makes better GPUs at the high end. (expected, they only make/specialise in GPUs). You pay a greater price, but you get the best performance in every game if you buy their top end.

People choose team red because they buy low-midrange cards. This is beacuse AMD best card is less powerful (expected, they make both CPUs and GPUs), but to stay competitive, lower their prices which give great performance for the dollar.
I was team green because they were generally more efficient and performed better than AMD. Now I'm color neutral since whichever GPU performs better is now dependent on what games you play (DX 11 and DX 12).

P.S.: Except in the mobile platform which I would recommend anything NVIDIA Tegra... ;)
