I agree that a $50-100 would make the 6000 series a lot more compelling. Maybe it's the higher amount of memory that drives the price that bit higher than it should be, or maybe it's greed. Who knows. As for the future, AMD seems confident about RDNA3. I recall a statement saying that they'll try to bring the same 50% improvement again, but it's still too early. With 5nm it will be easier to achieve that power consumption goal and, in my opinion, with a bigger bus they'll get a big uplift in performance at 1440p and 4K. What I'm curious about is their RT performance. They now have one RT core for each CU, but I don't know if they could "simply" double that without running into bottlenecks or affecting other parts of the chip. But well, we'll see. And there's also the rumor that the next chips could be designed around chiplets. One thing is for sure, tho, and it's that after Navi 2x, Nvidia knows that AMD is closer than they thought and that they can't fool around. |
Pretty much this.
Also, just imagine AMD dominating both Intel and NVidia at the same time...
What I hope however, is that the prices for PC hardware go down again a notch. Almost everything but RAM and SSDs are overpriced right now, not just the GPUs and CPUs.
