Vague reassurances from Nvidia?

LINK

Just PR bullshit. If they really cared, they would limit the sale of consumer GPUs to businesses. This is how organizations manage supply shortages. You make specific products for business and prevent them from buying the consumer product because they'll cause a shortage in the market. Nvidia and AMD don't give a shit though.

I was reading a comment in an article today and some mining asshole who was defending the practice had a warehouse with 2304 GPUs dedicated to crypto mining. Then we wonder why they are out of stock everywhere. That's like the quarterly stock of GPUs in all of Canada. No wonder that shit is sold out everywhere. **** these losers and **** Nvidia/AMD for abandoning their core customer base for a quick buck. I hope it comes back to bite them in the ass. Not only are they starting to lose customers to consoles, but the GPU market will also go to shit when those mining assholes flood it with used GPUs not too long from now (another consequence of selling consumer products to businesses).

Wait a second. So miners buy thousands of cards and the GPU companies can't keep up with demand but you blame the GPU companies for it ?

Windows Defender. It has really improved over the years and as long as you know what you are doing and don't go to suspicious websites or download anything suspicious, then you will be fine. It has already caught a couple of things for me.

I agree it has improved but it still ranks pretty bad on tests.

I would stay away from Avast. The free version is pretty good for freeware, but it is also bogged down by ads and notification telling you what you are missing by not upgrading. The pro version, is pretty average when compared to the real anti-virus heavy hitters like Webroot, Symantec, Bit Defender and Kaspersky. All and all, its a tough sell and an even tougher recommendation.

I have never gotten a virus from Bitdefender, from Webroot or from Kaspersky so I trust them a lot, but I have gotten viruses with Symantec, Panda, Avast and Vipre so I can't fully recommend these anti-virus applications.

I've been using Avast for nearly a decade now and zero issues. It blocks a lot and the whole notification thing is a simple click (it's free so of course they are going to send some minimal ads your way).

If you're getting that many viruses then you're doing something wrong.

I used to but they were taking up too much space. Same happened with my DVD collection.

@FelipeInside: I have no doubt it was fun, the first reboot was fun, it just didn't compare to the older ones, for no reason other than incompetence.

It just makes me wish that anyone could make Star Wars games. Because not only is competition great for the consumer, but you just know some suits at EA are in a boardroom like " Well where the **** are they going to go if they don't like it? We own the rights to make Star Wars games."

Yeah I know what you mean but remember that EA is the publisher, the developer still has to bring out a good or bad game.

@FelipeInside: Hmm. I don't trust EA. If they tried this mobile game reminiscent micro-transaction BS once, they'll do it again. It's never about the consumer with companies like EA, it's always them wondering how far the fanbase of a certain franchise will let them go before speaking out. Mark my words, they'll try again.

I agree, but at the end of the day you have to look at the important thing, which is YOU. Video games are entertainment, so if you have fun with a game then don't worry too much about other things. And trust me, Battlefront 2 is FUN. Pew Pew !!!

@FelipeInside: I played the beta of Battlefield 1, but lost interest when I moved to PC. Probably because I'm a friendless hoe.:(

Battlefront was a huge disappointment for me. I mean it lacked almost all of the things that made the previous series great. The only plus it had over the older ones was, well it was pretty. I'm not trying to be a nostalgic fanboy, I just got really hyped for a new Battlefront, only to be immensely underwhelmed

Battlefield 1 - I agree is much more fun with friends.

Battlefront 1 was a bit of a disappointment for me too. It was fun but it got stale pretty fast. BF2 fixed everything wrong with the first one gameplay-wise, it's just a shame it got such a bad rep because of the progression system, which had it's issues but wasn't as bad as everyone made it up to be. They have fixed it now so the game is pretty solid.

@illusionary: Between both Star Wars games, Mass Effect Andromeda, Battlefield 1, and the rehashed sports games they pump out every year, I think they absolutely suck as of late. The loot crate thing and Disney getting mad at them was just icing on the cake.

- Andromeda was a letdown. It was too rushed but it had a huge hype to live up to.

- Battlefront 2 and Battlefield 1 are both great shooters, the former just got a bad rep because of the loot crate thing which is now basically fixed.

@FelipeInside: Yes, I am aware of the unlikelihood, as well as the reason for EA's reluctance. But the premise that they would spend some great amount of production on this is absurd to me. This is EA, they do the bare minimum.

Not great amount, but porting a whole game isn't as easy as copy and paste either.

I'm sure they have thought about it (same with Madden) but the business report shows it's not worth it for them at this stage.

By all means continue to fight the good fight though, I wish all sports games were on PC too.

@FelipeInside: 12000 people saying they will buy the game is substanial enough to warrant a port as it would cover the cost of production and then some. There is no need to defend them.

Also "lol" doesn't show anything but insecurity.

Dude, I'm on your side. I feel for you. I had to change playing FIFA to Playstation because the numbers are low on PC.

I'm just explaining that a huge company like EA isn't going to put their production efforts into porting a game because of 12,000 signatures.
