Chapter 702: Xingyi graphics card is crowned as a god, and the entire industry of competitors is doomed

The number of people online in the live broadcast room has exceeded one million.

Seeing all the major brands collectively fail, the entire network was in an uproar:
"What's going on? GTX 970s from the five major brands all failed. It seems that there is a real problem with the GTX 970 graphics card, and it's a common problem!"

“Is it possible that it’s a game problem, a problem with Watch Dogs?”

"Nonsense, I used last year's GTX 780 to play Watch Dogs at the highest settings and it was fine. It must be a problem with the GTX 970."

Mr. Performance looked at the comments and said, "These graphics card assistants are still being tested, and they all have freezes and crashes very frequently. The exact reason is unknown at the moment, but it feels very serious."

"Next, I will use the Xingyi RTX 970 graphics card to test it and see if it will fail."

"As you can see, the Xingyi RTX 970 graphics card has a very fast game startup speed, which is similar to Asus, with a frame rate of about 48 frames. It depends on whether it will fail next."

All netizens focused their attention and the comments became very lively:
"Gigabyte and Asus have both failed, let's see how long the RTX 970 can last?"

"The Gigabyte freezes after four minutes, the Asus freezes after three minutes, and I estimate that the RTX 970 can only last three minutes."

"Almost the same level as Asus, which is pretty good."

"Yes, Xingyi Technology's first graphics card is comparable to the GTX 970. Its performance is comparable to that of Asus graphics cards, and it's 400 cheaper. It's definitely good enough."

"Strange, after three minutes, the RTX 970 is not stuck. This level is better than Asus."

"It will probably get stuck soon. It will definitely not last more than four minutes."

"Of course, it's great that the RTX 970 can surpass Asus, but it's impossible for it to surpass Gigabyte. Otherwise, where would these graphics card manufacturers put their face?"

"Fuck, it's been four minutes! The RTX 970 is not lagging at all."

"It's been five minutes, no lag, totally surpassing Gigabyte!"

"It's been ten minutes, no lag! Still stable at around 48 FPS!"

For a moment, everyone was excited.

The most exciting thing is performance:
"Guys! This is shocking!"

"GTX 970s from major graphics card manufacturers such as ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI, and GALAX all failed, but the RTX 970 from Xingyi became the last ray of hope, running at a stable FPS without any lag at all!"

"Incredible!"

"It's incredible!"

"Based on this performance, I am willing to call the Xingyi RTX 970 the eternal god! YYDS!"

"Let's continue testing to see if it will get stuck."

Everyone nodded, full of anticipation.

"It's been fifteen minutes, and there's still no lag!"

"It's been 20 minutes and there's no lag. It looks like it really won't lag anymore!"

"The RTX 970 is the best GPU ever!"

"Brothers, the host is so excited that he can't speak at this moment!"

"When the GTX 970s of a series of big manufacturers such as ASUS, GIGABYTE, and MSI all failed, the RTX 970 became the last ray of hope and remained strong!"

"I tested it for more than 46 minutes without any lag and it still maintained at 49- frames."

“The temperature is only 70 degrees, and the temperature control is very good.”

"What can i say?"

“Domestic products are invincible!”

"Xingyi RTX 970 is invincible!"

"Xingyi Technology is invincible!"

For a moment, everyone was excited.

The domestic graphics card Xingyi RTX 970 makes a comeback and defeats all the big manufacturers!
How can one not be excited by such an incredible aspect?

"Is the RTX 970 from Xingyi too powerful? Or are the GTX 970s from brands like Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI too weak?"

Everyone was silent. After a short silence, the comments started to boil again:

"I never thought that the most powerful one in the end was still the RTX 970."

"The rise of domestic products, YYDS."

However, amid the excitement of the crowd, there was another voice:
"By the way, GTX 970 graphics cards are all crashing. Could it be a driver problem? Not optimized, or not compatible?"

"It's possible. Maybe Watch Dogs isn't optimized well enough."

"Host, do you want to try a different game?"

Mr. Performance nodded: "Just now a friend said that it might be that the GTX 970 driver for the game "Watch Dogs" was not optimized well, which caused the crash and lag. If so, it's not a big deal. It can be solved through driver OTA later."

"But I'm afraid that the GTX 970 has a hardware design flaw that causes it to fail, and there's no solution."

"For this reason, let's change the game and continue testing."

"If the new game doesn't crash, it may be a driver problem, which is not fatal, but at most it is disgusting."

"But if the new game crashes again, it's not a driver problem, but a fatal flaw in the hardware!"

"Of course, the new game must also be powerful enough and demand high configuration, otherwise the problem of GTX 970 cannot be detected."

Many netizens agreed and responded in the live broadcast room:

"What the anchor said is very right. It makes sense to try a big game instead."

"Play Assassin's Creed. It will definitely test your level."

"Assassin's Creed is OK. Even a GTX 980 can't run at 50 FPS. It can be used to test the GTX 970."

"That's right, host, let's go straight to Assassin's Creed!"

Mr. Performance looked at the comments and said, "Okay, let's listen to everyone and use Assassin's Creed for testing. And we'll add the GTX 980 test and use the performance of GTX 980 as a benchmark!"

Testing begins shortly:
"Entering the game... Well, the GTX 980 is worthy of being a GTX 980. Playing "Assassin's Creed" is very smooth, with almost no frame drops and no lags."

"We checked the background frame rate data and found that it was basically maintained at 46-49 frames, which was very smooth. Occasionally, the lowest frame rate was 36 frames, and the frequency was only 1%!"

“It’s worthy of being called the GTX 980, worthy of being the flagship graphics card of the year, it’s just so powerful.”

"Next, let's test other graphics cards."

"First of all, the reference version of the GTX 970 graphics card has an average frame rate of around 32 frames, which is average, but as long as it doesn't freeze, it's not a failure."

"After all, Assassin's Creed is a game that requires a lot of configuration. There's nothing we can do about it."

"Shit! It's stuck!"

"I ran the game for just two minutes and it froze."

"Damn, it's the same situation as Watch Dogs again, only it's even more stuck and more serious."

"Watch Dogs still has more than 20 frames, and the lag frequency is average."

"Assassin's Creed only has a dozen frames, it freezes directly, and the frequency of freezes is very frequent."

"It turns out that the GTX 970 public version has failed."

Instantly, the barrage exploded:
"Only Watch Dogs has serious frame drops, which may be a driver problem, but Assassin's Creed also has lags, which is not a driver problem, but a graphics card problem."

"It seems that the GTX 970 graphics card really has a hardware design flaw. It failed."

"The public version is completely useless. I hope the other versions are fine, otherwise I will have to return them."

"It's so sad. As soon as I pressed it, I saw the rollover problem. I cried so hard!"

Performance continued:

"The GTX 970 reference version is stuck and I can't play the game. Let's give it a score. As for how much to give it, everyone can decide."

"0 points!"

"18 points!"

"5 points!"

"-100 points!"

"Host, if the frame rate is not stuck, it is 66 points, but the lag is serious, so deduct 50 points. Give the public version GTX 970 16 points!"

"This method is good. The performance is calculated based on the frame rate without lag. If there is severe lag, 50 points will be deducted directly. If there is moderate lag, 30 points will be deducted. If there is slight lag, 10 points will be deducted."

"Yes, according to this standard, 16 points for the public version is not a small amount."

Performance Master also saw these comments: "Okay, I'll listen to everyone and give the reference version of GTX 970 16 points according to the standards of [Zhongshan Wolf] and [Nangong Rou]. What do you think?"

"can."

"support."

"no problem."

"Okay, let's continue. GALAXY GTX 970... 32 FPS, one minute stuck, only 19 FPS..."

"Damn, it's worthy of being the graphics card that's closest to the public version. The lag is almost the same, but the minimum frame rate is one frame higher than the public version. I give it 16.5 points!"

"The third model, MSI... 33 FPS, one and a half minutes of lag, serious lag only 20 FPS, deduct 18 points, the final score is points."

"The fourth model, ASUS ROG STRIX...only 35 frames, my god, my big ASUS can't perform miracles!"

Mr. Performance showed his pained face again: "But as long as there is no lag or crash, it's fine. 35 FPS is also my god!"

"Uh...it's stuck. It's been two minutes. It's stuck. Only 22 frames. It's a serious lag. I'll lose 50 points. The final score is 23 points."

"My Asus, my heart aches!"

The Asus boss who was watching the live broadcast was furious: "It's lagging again, Watch Dogs is lagging, and Assassin's Creed is also lagging!"

"And the card is even more serious. What's going on?"

"How could this be?"

"Is there really something wrong with the ASUS ROG STRIX? Or is there something wrong with the GTX 970?" For a moment, even the ASUS boss was shaken.

Previously, I suspected that Performance Jun was an agent of Xingyi Technology, who deliberately fabricated tests and maliciously discredited ASUS and a number of GTX 970 graphics cards!

Now people are starting to doubt the problem with the ASUS graphics card and the GTX 970, rather than the malicious smear by Performance Guy!

"Quick, arrange the test, test "Assassin's Creed"!" the ASUS boss ordered.

"Yes!"

The performance expert continued to test: "GIGABYTE G1 GAMING is the current king of GTX 970, an overclocked version with the strongest performance. You can't fail again."

"Okay, let's start the test... 37 FPS, a little better than Asus. If there is no lag, it will be the strongest, only 980 FPS away from GTX 11."

"Let's continue testing to see if the Gigabyte G1 GAMING card is... Yeah, it's really stuck. It's stuck again."

"It started to freeze after two and a half minutes, with only 24 frames."

"And the lag is quite serious, but because of overclocking, it doesn't seem as serious as ASUS ROG STRIX. But with only 24 frames, it really affects the experience. It's a failure. I deducted 50 points and the final score was 27 points!"

"After testing all five GTX 970s from different brands, they all failed!"

"No one scored more than 30 points in the end, not even 28 points."

“Very disappointed, very disappointed!”

"I can say responsibly that this test was conducted from start to finish and live-broadcasted, and it is absolutely fair. It is highly likely that the GTX 970 has a hardware design defect that caused the collective failure!"

"Anyone who has a GTX 970 graphics card and games can reproduce the test. Just test "Assassin's Creed". I also welcome haters and Nvidia diehards to slap me in the face!"

"I will next test the Assassin's Creed on the RTX 970."

"When I entered the game, the frame rate was 35, which was similar to that of the Asus ROG STRIX, both were 35 frames, but the Asus failed and dropped directly to 22 frames, which was seriously lagging."

"Then let's see if the Xingyi RTX 970 will flip over. If it does, we'll carry it away together."

"Let's continue testing."

"It's been three minutes, no lag, still 35 FPS."

"It's been ten minutes, no lag!"

"It's been 33 minutes, and there's still no lag, still 37- FPS."

"Brothers, strange things happened again. Just like in Watch Dogs, all the GTX 970 graphics cards from all major brands crashed, but the Xingyi RTX 970 did not crash at all and performed very smoothly."

"This is a miracle!"

"Finally, the score of Xingyi RTX 970, with GTX 980 as a reference, is 77 points!"

"But the GTX 980 is over 970, while the RTX 2499 is only ."

"It's 980 dollars cheaper, but has 77% of the performance of GTX . It's an unbeatable price-performance ratio."

"Therefore, the Xingyi RTX 970 scored 77 points for performance, 73 points for cost performance, and a total score of 150 points!"

"Yes, I recommend the RTX 980 over the GTX 970!"

"With a difference of 980 yuan, it can achieve 77% of the performance of GTX 970. I think Xingyi RTX is invincible!"

“It is the performance ceiling for graphics cards below 4,000 yuan, and it is also the price-performance ceiling for all graphics cards!”

The barrage completely exploded:

"That's right, the Xingyi RTX 970 should be 150 points!"

"Comparing a graphics card costing more than 77 yuan with a graphics card costing more than yuan, it can still achieve % of the performance. It's really unbeatable."

"RTX 970 150 points is very reasonable, I support it with both hands."

"Performance is only one aspect. Price is also important. How many people can afford a GTX 4000 that costs more than 980 yuan?"

"It's two thousand more expensive, but it's only 970% more powerful than the Xingyi RTX 23. The GTX 980 is also garbage."

"Hahaha, it's rubbish. I wouldn't buy it even if I could afford it. It doesn't offer much improvement. It's worse than the RTX 970!"

"Seeing that the GTX 970 graphics cards were all sold out, I thought I had to spend more than 980 yuan to buy a GTX 2499. Now, the Xingyi RTX 970 at is enough."

"This is a good review, the Xingyi RTX 970 is invincible unless it fails. I will buy it now."

"I have ordered the Xingyi RTX 970!"

"Order Xingyi RTX 970 +1!"

"I bought a Gigabyte G1 GAMING for 2999, but it's not as good as the RTX 2499 for 970. I want to return it."

"My Asus hasn't arrived yet, and I've already applied for a return."

"I have a MSI GTX 970, but after seven days, I can't even return it. I'm so upset."

"My Galaxy Black General is less than seven days old, but I installed it. I applied for a return, but the platform refused to refund me!"

"Oh, these platforms are disgusting. They won't even accept returns if there are no quality issues after unpacking and installing."

"Brothers, the GTX 970 graphics card crash is purely due to a design defect of the graphics card. Can we protect our rights?"

"Yes, let's all defend our rights together, Nvidia is garbage!"

"Anchor, can you lead us in defending our rights?"

Performance guy's eyes lit up, this job has traffic:
"Okay, then I will take my team to do some in-depth research to find out why the GTX 970 failed, and then we can all work together to protect our rights."

"Users who are seeking rights protection, please follow me and join the fan group. Let's protect our rights together!"

"This live broadcast test is over, we will continue to study the GTX 970 rollover issue."

"All test live broadcast recordings will be posted to my TikTok account. Thank you for your support."

The live broadcast ended, but the sensation it caused had just begun.

There were already over one million netizens watching the live broadcast, most of whom were potential users preparing to purchase GTX 970.

I decisively gave up the failed GTX 970 and chose to buy the Xingyi RTX 970.

For those who have already purchased, they will apply for returns as soon as possible.

Those who cannot return their products have also started to band together to protect their rights!
Not only that, these netizens also told their relatives, friends, and gaming friends about the GTX 970 failure as soon as possible, and discouraged those who were planning to buy the GTX 970...

Millions of netizens, one person tells ten, ten tell a hundred...

After seeing this, those friends were also shocked and returned their GTX 970s and ordered RTX 970s!

For a time, GTX 970 sales plummeted and the number of returns surged!
And RTX 970 sales have skyrocketed several times!
Asus's boss, who has been following this incident closely, is horrified:

"Damn, luckily I didn't sue Performance directly, it turns out that the GTX 970 really has a design flaw!"

"What is the specific reason? Have you figured it out?"

"Chairman, it's a memory defect problem."

The R&D Director said:

"If it is a regular game, such as Dark Souls, the video memory usage is below 3.5G and it is basically not affected."

"But once it exceeds 3.5G, the video memory will be exhausted and the frame rate will drop madly. 30%-50% frame rate drop, such as in "Assassin's Creed", will cause crashes."

"Why is this happening? Don't we have 4G video memory? Why is it lagging at 3.5G?" ASUS's CEO was puzzled: "Did you cut corners?"

"No, Chairman. It's not our fault. It's the hardware design of Nvidia's GTX 970 GPU that has defects!" The subordinate said quickly:

"Our ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 970 uses eight Samsung or Hynix GDDR5 chips, each with a capacity of 512MB, for a total of 4G. All are GDDR5 high-speed video memory chips, without any problems."

"But Nvidia's GTX 970 GPU chip has a hardware defect. Their video memory controller is nominally a 256-bit full version controller, but in order to save costs, Nvidia cut corners and actually used a 224-bit castrated version!"

"This results in the 4G high-speed video memory being divided into two parts, 7 high-speed video memory particles, a total of 3.56G high-speed video memory. The last video memory particle is 0.5G, but it becomes a low-speed video memory with a bandwidth of only 28 GB/s!"

"This results in the GTX 3.5 running at full performance and running smoothly when the video memory usage is less than 970G. If it exceeds 3.5G, the video memory will be full and there will be serious lag."

"I see. Damn Nvidia, isn't this cheating?"

The boss of Asus was furious: "Damn it, it's damn right."

"Can we fix this problem? Or can Nvidia fix it through drivers?"

The subordinate shook his head and said, "The GPU chip has a design flaw. We can't fix it, and neither can Nvidia. Unless the GPU chip is scrapped, redeveloped, and re-produced."

"That's not the end?" Asus's boss's face turned green:

"We bought millions of GTX 970 GPU chips, all of which have video memory defects. Now that the video memory problem has broken out, ASUS GTX 970 graphics cards are all unsalable!"

"Damn NVIDIA, this has really screwed us over!"

"It's over, it's all over!"

The vice president also spoke up, "Yes, Chairman. If there is no Xingyi RTX 970, all the GTX 970s from major brands will fail. The GTX 980 is over 970 and too expensive. Consumers will have no better choice. Even if it fails, they will have to buy the GTX ."

"But now there is the Xingyi RTX 970. Once the GTX 970 fails, consumers all buy the Xingyi RTX 970. No one buys our ASUS GTX 970 anymore!"

“Even those who have already placed orders will cancel and return them on a large scale!”

The CEO of ASUS was sweating profusely: "This is really a big problem. Damn Nvidia!"

The marketing director was even more terrified: "Chairman, the problem is more serious than this!"

"Not only ASUS graphics cards are unsalable due to video memory defects. ASUS laptops and ASUS desktops equipped with GTX 970 graphics cards are also unsalable due to video memory defects!"

"And the Xingyi laptops and desktops equipped with RTX 970 will be sold out because of our overturn!"

"If this continues, from graphics cards to notebooks, desktops, and all-in-one computers, our ASUS market share and sales will be taken away by Xingyi Technology!"

"As for ASUS, our sales of graphics cards, desktops, notebooks, and all-in-one computers will be cut in half, profits will plummet, and stock prices will collapse!"

"This is the most fatal thing!"

“!!!” The boss of Asus turned pale, his eyes twitched wildly, and his body was shaking a little.

This is a catastrophic disaster!
