life isn't a fucking video game

looks like it gave him a 5% bonus in retardation

>>57923076
Call him a retard

Msi does use better quality components on their graphics cards and motherboards.
also asus is shit now from what ive seen

>>57923105
What's funny is that not even MSI uses this fact for marketing purpose. I don't really know where he got this from.

>>57923105
oh really, maybe you think just maybe the company would use inhouse products for testing and there could be a small increase in performance when used together?

>>57923117
MSI products are in fact good, but I don't see why, using a MSI MoBo and a Gigabyte GPU, for example, would result in a performance malus.

>>57923165
I like to go by how often I see ads that say "card doesnt work maybe you can fix" and then never buy that brand so far I havent seen an msi one yet

>>57923076
>How can I prove him wrong?
You don't, you just leave him the fuck alone. Every time he brings it up you just smile knowingly and tell him that you're changing the topic because reason. If he finds out on his own, you can do the "I told you so" dance. Otherwise, he'll just double down on his idiocy. Real, scientific studies have shown that if people hold a belief they'll simply believe harder when presented with evidence to the contrary.

But most of you faggots in this thread are wrong. I dunno where he is getting the 5% from, and on what, but he's not totally off base.

You are part of the reason why apple continues to scam their customer base.

So you think that an MSI(tm) motherboard will recognise an MSI(tm) GPU and the two will synergize to give an MSI(tm) boost? That's a really interesting belief. I wish you luck in the mental health clinic.

Tell him to not pay twice as much for a 5% increase.

Nowhere did I imply that notion. Please explain the irregularities in the mobo's below, which were usuing the same chip and memory config.

>>57923165
I mean they're saying you use both. Most likely they oc the card and put a good cooler on it making it appear as if it's the combo. They aren't lying. You're getting your 5% boost.

>>57923473
>Please explain the irregularities in the mobo's below, which were usuing the same chip and memory config.
There are differences in the performance of motherboards, which is well known and not being disputed AT ALL. Did you read the OP? If you did, what the fuck are you even trying to say?

>>57923473
margin of error in the benchmark

>>57923546
His friend might have seen a pic like I posted and got the wrong impression. Or he might see a particular model of gpu that is clocked higher than another, and drew the wrong conclusions.

>>57923473
>thinking benchmarks don't have a wide range of misinterpreting scores
fuckoff eeeediot

>>57923573
So it's in·con·ceiv·a·ble that the differences lay in the hardware for you? What makes you think the location and length of the memory system traces have would have no effect on performance?

>>57923588
That may well be but then you previous post

Makes absolutely no sense because in that case the person in question is totally off base. Also, no anons in this thread have disputed that there are performance differences between mobos, we're contesting that there is any kind of synergy between mobos and GPUs from the same manufacturer which again means that your original post is devoid of all meaning and completely missing the point. Bonus points for the insults while not actually understanding the discussion you're entering.

english next time, so maybe I can understand your autistic and pedantic arguments to my assertation that there are differences in performance between the same product

I retract that portion of my statement, apparently these two anons do

Please, the adults are speaking now.

>>57923076
convincing an idiot of what he thinks is right is actually wrong. The U.S. just had an election that proved this is impossible what further proof do you need?

>>57923117
I got a shit tier Z77A-G43 from MSI and it started acting up, eventually it wouldn't post at all. Fuck this, I'll stick to ASUS and Niggabyte.

>>57923714
Could we just leave politics to /pol/? Please? Pretty please? There's no need to drag this shit into everything.

I can't say it'll give him a 5% bonus in performance, but I have literally no complaints about MSI.

Why would you? Just let him spend his own money.
