| green_sky said: Months of hype to get disappointing products. Overpriced and yet all sold out. Further can't even buy them for those willing to fork out the money for whatever reason. The bad pricing becomes worse for those outside US of A. Also some of the features only for people are on Zen 3. Bleh. |
I wouldn't call them disappointing and, if someone actually feels like that, it's more because he/she had unrealistic expectations.
AMD has managed to go from fighting with the 2070 with their best cards (5700XT and Radeon VII) to go head to head with the 3080 in most cases, and it's worth keeping in mind how everyone praised Nvidia for how big was the performance jump from Turing to Ampere. There's nothing disappointing in that.
Do the cards have the same features and Nvidia? No, not yet. Are they a bit overpriced? Most definitely, a 50 $/€ cut would do wonders. But overall they are very impressive products that can finally compete against Nvidia in most apples to apples comparisons.
Interesting video, Marth. PS5 users should expect a firmware update soon to make those fans spin a bt faster, and we should see some side panels from third parties with extra ventilation holes.
It will be interesting to see how the XsX perform with the more compact tower design.
