I get it, Everness..isuss...(?). It's not real until you and STEVE see it and report it. Unfortunately that doesn't promote your thesis since STEVE SAID he has had a "glitch/problem". STEVE STEVE! Hardware Unboxed STEVE.
And you spent all that time (still are) in this thread complaining about people you graded as not knowing this, or not owning that...and so on, judgemental much?
Oh, top kek! Jumpd the snark.
From the article:
"I should preface this by saying we haven't run into any major issues after countless hours of testing new Radeon GPUs in our labs. Around 4-5 months ago I ran into the black screen bug once. We’re not even sure if it's the same "black screen bug" people are complaining about, or if the two are even related. My issue was seen when updating the
display driver, after a reset the Windows desktop wasn’t seen again, I was instead presented with a blank screen every time Windows loaded. "
So in fact, looks like it does.
I mentioned other professional reviewers and customer reviews as well. I never relied solely on my or steve's observation alone.
It's the least ironic thing I've ever seen., com on, reddits roundly dismissed (everywhere). I haven't dissed your points directly because I don't necessarially disagree with the body of what you've written. I do know valid evidence can be construed from anecdotal accounts, something you seem very eager to discount. Almost as readily as I disregard informational items from the cesspools of the web..
Then you should see the AMD reddit. This topic made top karma as did the AMD boost issue as did AMD putting an icon on your desktop (link to a game) before that. People might downvote individual comments on a post but I rarely see a serious issue that is affecting multiple users get buried. So long as you aren't browsing a reddit that attracts people under the ague of 16, you should see relatively civil discussion (of course there are always trolls).
I'm not saying my anecdotal evidence is worth very much. I'm using it more as a guidepost. I'd be more willing to overturn my opinion if there was solid evidence to the contrary. Instead what I'm seeing is solid evidence (reviews, professional reviews, ect) supporting it. After all, if I simply changed my mind based on other personal accounts, that would be more of an indication that I didn't put much effort into forming my opinion in the first place. That IMO would be a greater mishap. An inquiry is started on an observation,and then an opinion made on facts. I should reiterate, it just the poll numbers I am disputing. I know this issue is a big problem.
I have never said "a majority of people", what I said is a majority of NEW versions of AMD card's I've purchased are problematic. I have an inking about RMA's from sources at two different AIB producers, I'll take their word for it if they happen to mention things are not all shiny and bright in the marketplace.
Hmm, I can't say much on this specifically as I'd have no idea how to isolate for just the new versions. The poll, reviews, ect don't really target that specifically.
