I never thought I would encounter someone who would actually buy an AMD FX-9590 with its 220W TDP. I can't say that I'm surprised though that it would turn out to be in the hands of a Star Citizen.

Rofl of course one of the only people dumb enough to buy that piece of poo poo is also in to SC.

Actually, it's slightly more powerful than a 84w i7 4470K :downs:
Also, since it tops out at 5GHz singlecore, it would probably perform pretty well at SC

It's funny that CIG is held completely unaccountable when they deceive from within their own community, but a community backlash instantly forms once they try to deceive the mainstream.
I am amazed they have the capacity for embarrassment. It's proof they can temporarily suspend the distortion field long enough to see how the unwashed masses might see things differently.

The reflex rejection of criticisms of the slow progress, the poorly through through design choices, the instability-- all of those critiques are normally met with the go to defensive "IT'S PRE ALPHA!" and the original party is declared Derek Smart, a Goon, a troll, or some other party that is seen as "THE ENEMY".

Yet here, we see them making allowances for the possibility that the universe isn't divided only into believers and haters, there are actually neutral parties out there, parties CIG's backers might actually want to rally to the cause. And CIG being criticized BY SPERGS for fumbling the execution is a breakthrough moment of lucidity for them.

In order to sue someone you need a lawyer who thinks you can win and a judge who doesn't think you're a joke. It can be very difficult for people to find both of these.

I like how Ben explains it was an error, but it's a video Star Citizen is hosting on their own youtube channel and are conveniently not taking it down/adding annotations.

Nope they're just really really that bad.

They're coming out with a new architecture in later 2016 that is supposed to be almost maybe probably equivalent to Intel's Haswell chips. So they're going to leap from being ~5-6 generations behind to only 2!

Of course these claims are from AMD marketing and how well it performs when it finally appears is of course a mystery.

Either way, in all aspects, it is the perfect product line for a Star Citizen enthusiast.

AMD gpus are very good, though the high end isn't competitive with nvidia this last gen because they went for the (then highly experimental) 3d stacked ram. Too expensive for not enough bang. I'm sure they'd have done better with older tech.

They also have some really, really good APUs that'd do well in laptops for normal laptop stuff + some light gaming. Much better than anything intel can put together anyway. But, for some reason all OEMs put AMD chips in 15" 1366x768 shitboxes.

Their desktop CPUs are absolute poo poo, though.

There's one particular star citizen I spoke to a long time ago, who's all AMD.

Has AMD CPU, AMD GPU, AMD Mobo, even an AMD SSD. Says this (especially the AMD SSD) makes it run better, because it's all from AMD :cripes:

On Nov 20, Mike Meaden sent out to everyone that he had ~110 tickets left in queue so be patient. I still have not received any follow-up since the 18th. So these guys aren't even getting through 10 tickets a day.
