  1. Different companies have different priorities, even when it comes to optimization. Now, should more, if not all, companies maximize their optimization for AMD and Nvidia? Sure, but will they? Not likely.

    Especially since the root of optimization problems is almost always in the GPU driver... That's why awhile back everyone was so massively impressed when Nvidia released a driver that improved framerates in a couple games by 25-50%. (it was caused by improper implementation of standards, not by the game being unoptimized) Nvidia recognizes this and fixes the problems, (more often than not) whereas AMD almost never releases a driver with proper implementations of standards, and frequently changes their poor implementations between driver releases. (this effectively requires a game dev to have an entire dev team working constantly on optimizations to compensate for crappy drivers, just so they don't get blamed for the problems by people who don't understand where optimizations really need to be made)

  2. I'm definitely a fan of rewards credit cards. Problem is you can only get em if you don't need em. For what it's worth I get 2-6% back on everything via cards.

    I'm one of those people that doesn't like going in debt every time I buy something, then has to pay (with interest) to get out of that debt. Rewards cards are just a lower interest card when you get down to it, you're still paying the card company more than if you just used the free debit card from your bank.

  3. Your avatar reflects your personality and who you are. That's the purpose of it. The only reason she used your avatar as a basis is because, well, that's the visual identity people associate you with. It's not meant as a criticism or a way to call you bland or anything, it's just there because we associate you with your avatar.

    Agreed.

     

    And who said Rainbow Dash is bland?

    I did, many times.

  4. Edit: So the BETA drivers from November 14(15.11) have no graphical problems but the official release from 2 days ago(15.12) have horrible graphics bugs. AMD... what the fuck?

    You paid less for the hardware, so now you have to suffer through horrible drivers, and total lack of real customer support. (they couldn't even figure out a poor ground in the hardware for one of mine, and were relegating it to "your Windows 7 install is bad, you need to install Windows 8 for the Windows 7 drivers to work")

     

    OT: Having heartburn, getting ready to eat lunch, and then take a nap before heading to church.
