That being said, I wonder if the card would have solved its memory controller issues, as the desktop Vega draw too much power when it comes to the memory controller. The desktop version pretty much needs water cooling to produce decent results.

- bri3d 8y ago"Just buy it" was an opinion column with a prominent counter opinion column that seems to have been quite effective as revenue clickbait.
- graedus 8y agoI saw this in context, but in the end it doesn't make the piece defensible. The "counter opinion" was that you shouldn't buy (pre-order) the card yet. It's not like it was an NVIDIA hit-piece, just entirely reasonable advice about cards that aren't released yet. "Just pre-order it and don't wait for reviews and benchmarks, by the way here are NVIDIA's claimed performance figures aren't they great" is pretty suspect coming from the editor-in-chief a reviews and benchmarks site. Edit: also just some really insane lines in there: "When you die and your whole life flashes before your eyes, how much of it do you want to not have ray tracing?" ???
- tracker1 8y agoDear editor in chief for $MAGAZINE would you write an encouraging opinion piece for $BAG_OF_CASH? I'm not saying this is the case, but it really felt that way seeing the article.
