It's that people buy new videocards based off of CURRENT performance ...
If you knew different sets of people then you're probably not one of them ... What I state is more true than ever because people don't want to deal with 'promises' of better performance in the future which isn't guaranteed ... People liked AMD's CPU division because they delivered on current performance and right now they dislike their GPU division wasn't competitive with the current set of games even though AMD's newest Vega microarchitecture has the most amount of relevant hardware features which could potentially boost peformance signifanctly in future games like Wolfenstein 2 and Far Cry 5 making use of double rate FP16 ... (So I'm not going to risk it either just by some off chance that RX Vega will somehow top the GTX 1080 Ti in 2 years just in several AAA games and instead go with the latter as my upgrade. You obviously won't too as we can see and the same probably goes for most people in this thread as well.) I've got to tell this to Pemalite too ... |
So you basically went far back to bring this forward for a buig "I'm right, you're wrong" type response?, because it reads like it.
The way you speak of AMD makes them sound almost godiike and absolutely unstoppable, that they will demolish Intel and Nvidia without breaking a sweat and yet that already is far from the truth.
"So I'm not going to risk it either just by some off chance that RX Vega will somehow top the GTX 1080 Ti in 2 years just in several AAA games"
So you are sure it will top the 1080ti in 2 years?. What about the latest GPU from nvidia by then?.
I can't help but feel smarminess coming from that reply.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
