Maybe a joke but it looks better then some of the AMD marketing stuff too
.
Actually the slides from AMD are top notch so I don't want to foil their reputation that much. Nvidia knows how to generate hype, AMD seems to be able to get critical responses instead.Ryzen 1700x 3.9ghz, Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro, Asus CrossHair 6 Hero 9, 16gb DDR4 3200 @ 3466, EVGA 1080 Ti, 950w PC pwr & cooling PS, 1TB NVMe Intel SSD M2 Drive + 256mb Mushkin SSD + 512gb Samsung 850evo M.2 in enclosure for Sata III and 2x 1tb WD SATA III, 34" Dell " U3415W IPS + 27" IPS YHAMAKASI Catleap.

I actually possess or actually have that actual magazine with that actual ad in my collection, glad I never threw it out its just stored in a box of magazines somewhere so I have to dig it up
PS its the Dream PC of the Yeah edition where they had a massively fast Intel Pentium III coppermine CPU at a blazing fast it will blow your eye sockets 650MHz!! and because the Geforce 1 had yet to be physically released, the Matrox G400 was in that machine instead.Last edited by Akumajo; May 4, 2012, 12:33 PM.3 Sony PlayStation 3 60GBs Artic Silver since Jan 2011.

Is this the way they start promoting their product now, like a 13 year old kid? It's pathetic.
That "Bitchin fast" is good satire!

In the past that advertisement would have blended in though

Yeah I noticed how you fail to notice how both AMD and Nvidia have been marketing their graphics cards for way too many years now alot like penis enlargement or enhancement products...Originally posted by Blín D'ñero View PostIs this the way they start promoting their product now, like a 13 year old kid?

Or even how overclockers have the pissing contest mentality of a 13 year old... or some 53 year old bald fattie buying a Viper or Corvette to go back to thinking he is a 13 year old...
Hell even the 3dFX marketing days qualifies in that mentality...Last edited by Akumajo; May 5, 2012, 08:05 AM.3 Sony PlayStation 3 60GBs Artic Silver since Jan 2011.

You know what would actually probably work? Put that ad up for real and add a bit of text at the end saying something like: Maybe it's not the fastest anymore, but it's still the best experience you can get! (or something vague like that...)
