| Pemalite said: Navi isn't going to be a high-end part at this point anyway. It will be interesting to see what this means for Next Generation consoles if they don't have Next-Generation graphics hardware. AMD could still surprise though and tack on a few new features to Navi that wows, but I wouldn't hedge bets at this point. |
Won't mean much because console development environment is very well optimized on AMD hardware so the Scorpio engine is nearly as good as a GTX 1070 but the same isn't true on PC and then you have reviewers like DF who uses very flawed and outdated benchmarks like Crysis 3 ...
With AMD, they rely on a community effort (partners and developers) to get the best out of their hardware ... (if developers don't care it pretty much ends in a vicious cycle where their competitor gains more market share and then the said developers go on to optimize for the competitors)
If AMD isn't going to use their advantage to play dirty such as using features to tank performance on their competitors hardware to gain parity in games then there's not much of a future with them. I'm surprised why AMD haven't tried something as bold as creating their own game engine or making timed exclusive deal for PC game publishers ...
