AMD has released a video poking fun at Nvidia.
AMD has released a new video, an ad for its Radeon graphics cards. Although it is rather humorous, we're not entirely sure what to make of it.
AMD Radeon™ Graphics Presents: The Fixer
While the green card may be blurred out, there is no mistaking the fact that it is (was) an Nvidia card. All the vocal references also support this. In the end, AMD concludes by boasting about it's Never Settle bundle. Without a doubt, AMD is jabbing at Nvidia on multiple fronts. Below you'll find two of the previous videos:

BUT
The second one which is animated was really good, a nice mix of Tron, Star Wars and Warhammer 40k
The last one was bad until the very last line, now that was funny
Summery : Nr 2 was really good and maybe they should make a whole movie about it, that was good stuff.
Second one had cool graphics toldme APUs have 4 cores but not impressed. Might have been impreessed if that was rendered in real time on an APU.
3rd one...not funny.
Wish AMD would hurry up a release some new high end CPUs and new GPU's instead of mocking Nvidia who's eating their lunch right now
The "NVidia" card prevents his system from starting?
AMD is "the choice" for desktops? (sure consoles but that's a different story)
While "Never Settle" is a great deal, that's due to trying to remain competitive and AMD is simply hurting on all fronts financially.
Let's not forget that NVIDIA's new GTX700 series has minimal microstutter so SLI is the way to go and AMD has nothing at the GTX780 level.
Commercials which rib competition can be funny, but AMD crossed the line into the territory of basically LYING and that isn't funny.
I buy Nvidia for me and the numerous machines I advise my friends about; now I'm definitely staying. Nvidia marketing is unethical, but it's not THIS screwed up. It'd be enough to make me abandon AMD CPUs too, if Intel wasn't worse than Microsoft.
-faye
Second one was interesting, but was mostly eye candy. The action was nice, but really didn't tell you anything.
The third reminded me of those idiotic Progressive insurance commercials, which have nothing to do with the actual product/service.
Although I'm thinking too critically of this. When was the last time I actually saw any commercial that told me stuff compared to the competitor? I can't even remember.
As with most commercials anywhere, their demographic are those who are uniformed/misinformed. As I tell everyone, research what you are buying--it pays off.
Now, the 680(770) is where it always should have been, displacing both the 670 and 7970. The 660ti has been put out to pasture, along with 7870xt and 7950 for the most part. Watching carefully will still net you a 7870 Ghz for about $10 more than a 660, so that one is still worth it, but that's *ALL* AMD has going for it. It's hardware can't carry the day anymore.
If you already have a couple of the games in the AMD bundle, the hardware and price can't make a compelling enough argument to buy red.
You would have thought so but then they have so many fanatic spreading BS on the forums maybe they feel that they don't have to.
