Now, as you do, I was on yahoo answers helping people out, when I came across this question, which was asking about a HD7850 or HD7870, now this person told him something stupid, screenshot https://www.dropbox.com/s/f2nodslybmdrxs9/2013-04-03%20... now, what I want to know is, she says in her source RN, tech and 30x author but cannot tell a CPU from GPU? Why does she do this to people, while she isn't even a novice, even worse. Thankfully someone had already helped the asker. So I want to ask you guys what you think of this?

Yahoo Answers is not specifically for "experts", only for "real" people to Answer.

AMD (ATi) graphics cards are generally, in past years (pre 2006) inferred as being only suited to AMD motherboards whereas Intel cpu/motherboards like Asus were Nvidia preferred.

It is only in recent years that collusion has become rife among the motherboard/GPU/Graphic cards manufacturers so as to make each respective product more compatible with each other. It's a shame because I preferred the competitve nature of AMD and Nvidia fighting it out for the better product best suited to their own preferred motherboard manufacturer.

At one time, in 2006, I think, AMD actually was about 6 billion dollars in the red and had to come up with an alternative solution so that's where the collusion originated.

I've never heard of an Asus/AMD graphics card (there are Asus-Nvidia graphic cards) but there is actually an Asus Motherboard with AMD GPU but only one, I think.

Why do I suspect this thread will degenerate into a flame-war with people on both sides calling each other fanboys? :D  :D

That is not an appropriate reply to the thread and I find it rather offensive.
