Editorial – DSOGaming turns 6 years old, will be covering AMD’s GPUs, mini giveaway [Winners Announced]

180 Comments

Man, it’s been six years since the launch of DSOGaming. Yeap, DSOGaming has just turned six years old and we are celebrating this with a mini giveaway. Oh, and as the title suggests… we’ll be covering AMD’s GPUs as we’ve purchased a Radeon RX 580. Praise the red sun!

In fact, we’ve included the Radeon RX 580 in our TEKKEN 7 GPU graph in order to see whether someone would notice it. It appears, however, that no one did. Still, we believe that it was a nice hidden surprise.

As we’ve already claimed, we wanted to cover AMD’s GPUs by getting the Vega graphics card. However, this GPU has been delayed and will be launched at the end of July. Not only that, but we don’t know how many units will be available worldwide in August. Therefore, we decided to get a Radeon RX 580, and we’ll get a Radeon RX Vega once it’s become widely available.

Now before continuing, and since I’ve heard various complaints about other websites, I want to make it crystal clear that DSOGaming will NEVER block its content to those using adblocks. We simply ask you to whitelist us. And if you don’t want to, you can still support us on Patreon. And if you don’t want to support us at all, that’s fine by us, though this may put DSOGaming into financial troubles. After all, all of our hardware parts are purchased by us and nothing is sponsored by vendors. Perhaps we are simply too bad at PR, even though we have a bigger fanbase than other websites that receive hardware parts from vendors, however that’s how things are. And then we have some publishers that have blacklisted us, meaning that we have to purchase a number of games ourselves.

But anyway, moving on to other subjects. As you may have noticed, we are a bit more active in our Comment section. We’ve banned some users, and we’ll continue monitoring that section. Just a heads up that we do not care about political or social views. This is a PC gaming website, so we don’t care if you don’t like Muslims, Americans, Africans, or whatever. So yeah, please try to stay civil in our Comment section.

In order to celebrate our sixth anniversary, we are giving away five games (Shadow Warrior 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider, F1 2016, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Vanquish). All you have to do is comment below. Duplicate comments will be deleted. Winners will be announced this Sunday, June 11th, at 9PM UTC.

And that is that. DSOGaming will keep covering PC and only PC games. So here is to another six years of PC gaming goodness (why six you ask? Well… that’s because: 6+6=12 => 1×2 = 2 => john2. And as they say, the numbers never lie).

UPDATE:

Here are the winners (from oldest comment to newest. Some duplicate comments were deleted for the purposes of this giveaway):

71 – Shadow Warrior 2 – clippa
13 – Rise of the Tomb Raider – Geheimen
60 – F1 2016 – Sun Streaker
26 – Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – Opapa
136 – Vanquish – jmx777

We’ve emailed the winners so that they can share with us their Steam usernames (so that we can send them their gifts)!

  24. Frankly I liked DSOG more than any other websites in the coverage of the PC gaming & community news, even those news that no other websites dared to publish.

    Good luck 😉

  37. I have all those gmaes apart from F1 2016, but i dont want it.

    Which version of rise of the tomb raider you are giving? I would reccomend everyone gets the 20th anniversary version since it can be found even cheaper than the original online.

        1. Considering he did it right around the New Year, I’m thinking it’s more like his contract with Microsoft expired, thus he was no longer contractually obligated to act like a Microsoft Shill every time something came up about them.

          Though peer pressure definitely had something to do with it, yeah 😛

          P.S. Happy Maddafakeen Barfday, DEESOG!

          1. LOL this made me laugh.

            “contract expired”

            This is gold 🙂

  39. Cool, congrats! I just found your site recently, you have amazing PC and game coverage, thanks for that. All the best and many more years to come.

  58. Pretty nice, you finally got an AMD card, i saw the Tekken benchmarks and wouldn’t notice. Happy Birthday!

  59. DSOG is one of the best gaming news website out there. It’s been almost 7 months I have been visiting this website for at least 4 times day(6-7 in holidays). Before using DSOG , I used to visit gamespot a lot. But after I found the neat and clean UI and structured news organization I rarely now visit gamespot(maybe once a week). I always have a great experince with your website. Keep up good work.

    1. I love our community, it is very rare that I find myself in the position that I have to remove comments. Sometimes things get a bit dicey and I have to remind people to be civil, but for the most part you guys respect each other. (respect may be a strong word for it).

      Not that nobody has ever been banned obviously….

    1. Some articles get quite a number of comments without free stuff, but I can’t deny, the allure of free stuff really draws a crowd.

  95. Well done guys… Very well done!

    Be true to yourselves. Keep questioning, keep searching and don’t hold back on your opinions. A lot of us don’t read your articles and views just to waste time. It’s always been about quality in a concise package.

  96. Have been reading you for a while know ( like few years).
    Good luck in the future guys, keep it going!!

  98. I love the way the page is done. I just like scrolling through articles one by one unlike other sites where they shove hundreds of pictures, articles, videos in one place to the point I become confounded and just go to DSOG instead.

  99. Oh, boy. Good to see AMD’s GPU (I have a GTX 1060, but I still prefer a more accurate performance review). Congrats.

  108. Man,been on DSOG for 3-4 years every day now and tbh there’s no other site I need.Simple,yet detailed,covering all things like leaks,favorite franchises,mods,updates,giveaways,analyses etc. what more could gamer ask for?At least for me Gamespot and IGN can’t even hold your candle 🙂 But don’t get overconfident beacuse that path leads to Dark Side.Oh wait,you already there…Happy bday DSOG and wish you best for many years to come! <3

  119. DSOgaming provides the best coverage on the performance and technical aspects of various AAA titles. It actually does a better job than PC gamer itself in PC performance analysis. Please keep doing them you guys are the best 🙂

    “Steam now handles over 60K refund requests per day, hardware & software survey for May 2017 unveiled

    OnnA

    3 days ago

    AMD saw a decrease of 0.39% in GPUs -> try to buy RX580 😉
    and a decrease of 0.42% in CPUs -> Tell this to ryZEN sales 😉
    What a bull$
    PS. Its good that John have RX580 for testing now 😀

  133. The things I love most about DSOG is that 1: It’s such a clean website with a great design, simple and efficient. 2: Wide and frequent news coverage, I often read news here long before I see them on other sites. 3: They don’t care about; morality, censoring, etc. They let’s people say what they think, true freedom of speech, never afraid to mention that X game has been cracked in X days by X (for example), or posting leaks, or pointing out when companies are lying (cdprojectred for example). 4: It’s well spoken and well informed members who always contribute in great ways in the comments section and at the same time batteling the silly trolls on here. 5: Performance analysis. 6: John uses BladeRunner CryEngine 2 real-time scene as a wallpaper, always! peroid!

    Congratulations on your Sixth anniversary DSOG! I love this place!

  134. Is Olek one of the persons you banned DSOG? I tried to find him in this comment section but failed. When I checked back in the comment section on older articles where I’ve been arguing with him the only traces of him left is “This comment was deleted” And in my quotes of him the name changed to “Guest”

    Guess it was for the better after all.

  144. Happy birthday to the web and thank you for all these years of hard work covering PC gaming with honesty and truthfulness!

    Also, happy to hear that you will be including AMD cards in the analysis, optimization in PC games is tricky and I am curious to see how will the different hardware and software architectures from both companies fare in future titles. Once again happy birthday DSOG and thank you!

  155. No offence but that graph with Tekken 7 FPS min/avg numbers reminds me of those highly biased manipulative PR graphs.
    Nevertheless it’s certainly good to see an AMD GPU in your articles.
