Micro Center CEO publicly apologized for incorrect information pertaining to AMD graphics cards

Recently, affected by the shortage of global chip supply, it is difficult for consumers to buy their favorite graphics card, and the choice of graphics card has become a big problem. Micro Center recently published a controversial article as an installation guide. The article pointed out that AMD graphics cards generally have a better price/performance ratio, but if you want to work normally and stably, you may need regular debugging and maintenance. In contrast, Nvidia graphics cards are similar to game consoles, and the optimizations made can basically achieve good effects. The ease of use and stability make it more popular with gamers.

In this installation guide, Micro Center also introduced NVIDIA’s graphics card support for ray tracing and DLSS and other functions. It believes that the functions provided by NVIDIA can work well together, providing the best performance without sacrificing frame rate. Game players can enjoy.

This remark caused dissatisfaction among many readers, especially AMD fans. Subsequently, Micro Center CEO Rick Mershad publicly apologized on its official website, stating:

Incorrect information pertaining to AMD graphics cards was inadvertently published on our website.

This was published without properly vetting the information within, and we deeply apologize for the error. AMD graphics cards offer top-of-the-line performance, including ray tracing and AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (AMD FSR) for maximum visual performance, as well as easy installation, with no upkeep beyond standard driver updates. We are proud partners of AMD, and will continue to offer their cards as a premium component for all custom PC builds.

Again, we are deeply regretful of this error and will strive to better monitor the content we put onto our product pages.
