HOT: Nvidia caught using AMD in Indonesia's Geforce Day event

Competition between Nvidia and AMD it has happened since time immemorial, even before the fire nation began to attack this has already happened. Fanboys who separate themselves between the Green and Red camps continue to cheer for their proud graphics card maker.

What I will share this time will be slightly inclined to the red camp and “maybe” will drop the image of the Green. However, this is a fact that happened in the field, more precisely what happened in the GeForce Day Event which was held in Indonesia.

Nvidia Installs G-Sync Sticker on PC Using AMD FreeSync

Nvidia as a graphics producer company held an exciting game event titled “GeForce Day” yesterday (15 July 2017). The event was held at the Nafiri Convention Hall APL Tower Central Park Jakarta. They held many exciting activities while bringing together well-known esports teams in Indonesia such as EVOS Esports, NXL>, NIXIA, and RECCA Esports. Foreign teams were also invited to enliven the event, they were TNC Pro Team!

Maybe because it was too lively with the esports teams that were brought in, they didn’t focus too much on what would be given to the visitors. Yes, whether it’s done intentionally or unintentionally, Nvidia puts an Nvidia G-Sync Sticker on a Lenovo PC that actually uses AMD FreenSync. Irony isn’t it?

How did the inventor’s chronology get these red facts overlaid with green?

Some may wonder, how is the chronology Ganendra Theja know this fact? he went to boot LENOVO and tried one of the PCs on display there. When he opened DXDIAG he was surprised by the information displayed, the PC was using an RX480 which was actually a Graphics Card from AMD. Knowing this Theja immediately took a photo and shared it on reddit.

The chronology is, yesterday I was booted by LENOVO, then there was a PC there. I open dxdiag, and it shows RX480. After all, I immediately took my cellphone and took a photo of it, and I immediately sent it to the IT group, my colleague immediately shared it on reddit, “said Ganendra Theja.

Netizens don’t completely blame Nvidia, because the demo tool is Lenovo

This is an important point that you must know before judging Nvidia Blunder, we must first know the PC they use as a demo tool, namely the Lenovo. This one vendor is known for confusing models, sometimes the model that is served with Nvidia may also be available with AMD. Maybe the organizers didn’t pay attention to the original manufacture, right?

What is clear is that rice has become porridge, Nvidia has become the target of foreign netizens. What’s worse, Netizens on Reddit don’t think this is surprising, considering that this case happened in Indonesia.

The case of Nvidia using AMD is still a hot topic of discussion on Reddit, so far there has been no official statement from Nvidia or a rebuttal from them. The fact that this is happening in Indonesia makes this story even more difficult for me to write. What do you think?
