AMD shill trolls trying to manufacture fake controversy on Nvidia new generation of products again

~~There is no controversy, stop trying to manufacture fake one. 42.190.191.119 (talk) 19:45, 22 September 2022 (UTC)~~

please do not abuse your power to edit and remove content. if you can provide sources that rebuttal the claims of a controversy we will gladly listen but until then please do not attack the people trying to make sure this site is as truthful and neutral as possible.

GP104 was sold as 1080 class product, not the first time and won't be the last time 104 class GPU will be sold as 80 class card, again stop trying to manufacture fake controversy, AMD shill trolls that are extremely jealous of Nvidia's success. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.190.172.10 (talk) 20:03, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

So I've seen plenty of tech sites reporting with opinion pieces and user comments on those upset with the pricing. I think there's a legitimate-enough claim there to be worth covering, assuming the sources cited are improved (plenty of better options from legitimate tech publications rather than youtube/reddit). That is also assuming others feel it is useful for the article to have a section on discourse surrounding the product in the first place.

My problem though is then going on to mention the reduction in CUDA core count, which ignores the massive clock speed increase over the 30 series (~900 MHz, while clocks were mostly stagnant from 10 -> 20 -> 30 series), and the reduced bus width, which ignores the massive L2 memory cache increase of literally 16x. My point being that these products are not yet released and it's pedantic and extremely speculative to point out spec changes that may not really affect the end product in any meaningful way. At the very least provide a more neutral "some sources believe that the reduced memory bus width is not in line with the card's branding." --Bobrocks95 (talk) 22:30, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

I agree with that it's still speculation at the moment whether all of this will matter once benchmarks get released, if it gets shown that it really doesn't matter that these certain specs matter in framerate then it should definitely be either reduced in how bad it was actually or just put as a footnote that this controversy at least happened TurboSonic (talk) 02:09, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

We don't interpret or weigh the value of coverage in reliable secondary sources, if it exists it exists. If there are contrary opinions they can be given commensurate coverage in due proportion. If in the long run it is just a footnote that is fine, but it's not our place to decide it is merely a footnote because we feel in retrospect that it was misguided. —DIYeditor (talk) 02:15, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
