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. |
AMD obviously aren't invincible going their years of losses and I don't speak very highly of them to begin with ... (they have an uptick with CPUs but I still prefer Intel for emulation purposes and they've taken the wrong strategy with GPUs so I have less reasons to look at AMD than ever before)
You don't have to feel smarmy because your purchasing habit just validated my point either way ... 
And I don't know if it will top the 1080 Ti in 2 years either since that ties into my whole argument that people don't buy consumer products with uncertain future performance in mind ... (nobody wants to deal with promises of delivery in performance, not even me)
1080 Ti could tank in tomorrow's games but nobody would care either way since a lot of PC graphics enthusiats have moved into the cadence of yearly upgrades anyways ... (I bet Nvidia could choose not to update their drivers for older microachitectures or even better, throw a few wrenches to tank performance so that they could get customers to upgrade as soon as possible. If that works then AMD should follow suit.)
