Origin PC Opting for Nvidia Over AMD GPUs for Gaming PCs

[Mousemonkey]

The reason is simple nVidia gave BRIBE money to Origin PC. Nvidia knows their future is doomed, and they are desperate to do something..............

Do you have evidence of that or are you just making stuff up?

As a Gaming Rig builder they should have offered configurations both from nVidia and AMD. Not all people prefers Nvidia or AMD. If that happened, then one of the company may already bankrupt and gone. Gaming experience from both vendors seems similar, except some crossfire related micro shutter issue whch they have fixed some time ago. So there is no reason to exclude AMD GPUs from there build. Future games tends to prefer AMD GCN cores especially with AMDs new Mantle API you have any doubts about that? . People are now a days are not that fools and can judge pretty well whats makes more sense.

Have you read the article? And as Mantle is untried and so far only in one game that has yet to be released it's too early to say whether it will be a game changer or not.

Do you think its fair to exclude AMD GPUs ? If you say yes then your a fanboy of nvidia. A PC developer should support all mainstream vendors equally....

They're not developers they're custom PC builders and so if they no longer wish to use a particular manufacturer then that is their prerogative, AMD are not going to go under because of this so who cares if I think it's fair? For me the article is more about why they have dropped AMD not that they have dropped AMD.

Yes its true that the choice is ultimately there's. But the way they Bashed AMD and there drivers whats really wrong. It sounded someone manipulated origin builders and scripted to say in a particular way. Doesn't sounded like that ??

Well if what they have said is untrue then they could be looking at a lawsuit for slander and I'm pretty sure that even a small company like Origin have a legal eagle on the payroll who would have advised them against telling lies.

Charlie D is a known Nvidia hater and as such he will always put the bias spin on things without ever providing actual evidence which is why I refuse to read any of the crap on his site.

I suppose it gives Origin another reason to charge their high prices.

LOL man so they dropped AMD GPU's but not CPU's ..com'on

Yes and?

Great work Origin, alienate a chunk of potential buyers who might want AMD hardware in their PC. Any PC builder should at least give their clients the opportunity to decide.

Is there a law or regulation that they are breaking by not offering AMD GPU's in their builds?

No joke, I've never heard of Origin PC until this article.

That's OK, they probably haven't heard of you either! :lol:

 

[Duckhunt]

Noooooooo, why why? Why didn't I fix the micro stutter issue. Why? I can imagine AMD is in panic mode now ( sarcasm).

 

[smeezekitty]

Well nvidia has to sell to someone. It's not like NVIDIA got the xbox or ps4 or even the wii contracts. I don't know who origin are myself. The article or them sounds like my boss just being childish. Boo hoo origin you nobody company. Good luck with nvidia given 99% of games will be AMD optimised shortly due to the three top consoles being all AMD based you idiots

But didn't AMD say that unlike their competitors they would always play fair and stick to open standards? Granted Mantle is propriety at the moment and it remains to be seen how that turns out but if AMD's word is to be worth anything then any and all games should be optimised for both camps, surely?

Even if AMD didn't pay the devs, if the consoles use AMD hardware then the games will be tuned for that. I don't think that is unfair but rather a natural consequence.

As far as mantle goes, I think it will be a useless niche like Physx.

On that we agree!

Nvidia payed them exactly how much they were making in revenue for the AMD gpus and asked them to drop amd and make a press statement about it. Origin bought the bribe.


Can you provide us with any proof to back up such a claim?

I seriously doubt that Charlie's ranting would count as evidence in a court of law so that is not proof is it?

 

[jerseygamer]

Is Origin paying to have this article published? I mean honestly who cares what these guys have to say? They could close doors today and nobody in the industry would even know about it. So Origin spoons with NVIDIA now. Fantastic. Why didnt you guys just name the article "Origin PC Spoons With Nvidia Oficially.

That's why this is so great. If Nvidia is behding this, their PR people are brilliant and should get a raise. This has gotten so much attention it's amazing. Literally millions of dollars in advertising couldn't have had the same effect. Tech sites know their readers love this kind of juicy crap, especially when there are so many Nvidia and AMD fanboys out there to go at it.

Case study in effective PR 101 right here.

This coming from someone who said DX10.1 was the best thing ever and a reason to buy ATi cards, how did that work out by the way?

 

[beachbod]

Nvidia cant compete without bribing companies. So sad.

 

[ddpruitt]

It's clear that Mousemonkey won't listen to reason. He attacks everyone's position without providing any facts. And when the facts he provides are proven as wrong or incorrectly interpreted he goes for the emotional argument. He's trashing AMD's drivers but the truth is nVidia an AMD/ATI have traded places for years when it comes to drivers and performance. This time around AMD has everything except the top tier space and nVidia has better drivers. I have both in several sets of machines, what you use is your choice, give it a few years and things will change again.

"Based on our 15+ years of experience building and selling award winning high-performance PCs, we strongly feel the best PC gaming experience is on Nvidia GPUs,"

Mhmm we will see about that in the next couple of weeks...

Um, why would someone buy Origin PC's build to eat what they give you when you can make the build for yourself? Its not a rocket science just a week of roaming the internet about site and users reviews about parts you need.

Because not everyone wants to build their own PC or have you never heard of a company called Dell or Hewlit Packard or Alienware and if that's the case have you been living under a rock all these years?

A true gamer builds their own system with the best parts for their budget. These "high end" systems they build are usually complete junk and for way more than what you can build on your own.

I just got an hp pheonix system for my boss with a gtx 660 and i7 4770 and its liquid cooled. The amount of crap they pre load the system with and whatever they did when the loaded windows 8 has caused nothing but problems. It freezes ever second and is slow but he said he wanted a pre built system vs something i could build and load and have it run perfect from the start
