| Captain_Yuri said: The thing is, if AMD was attempting to be the good guys, I'd agree. But you look at the RDNA 3 launch. They priced 7900XTX to $1000, fair enough but then they increased the price of what should have been the 7800XT to $900 and called it the 7900XT. Nvidia has released 4 GPUs so far. 4090, 4080, 4070 Ti and 4070. Where is Radeons answer? Why are they only selling those two high end products? Like don't get me wrong, they are obviously better than Nvidia for now as they are at least discounting their previous generation GPUs but I don't see them as being "the good guys." During the crypto days, they were right there with Nvidia with pricing their products high and they made the universally hated 6500XT. Not to mention when you looked back during the CPU launches, when the Ryzen 5000 series launched and Intel had no competition, AMD kept the prices high on those CPUs. And when people asked for budget, they released the garbage tier 5600G and 5700G with it's PCI-E gen 3 gimp. Why? Cause fuck budget users clearly. Only when Intel started being competitive did AMD release actual budget CPUs at budget prices like the 5600 after 1.5 years. So I don't really see a future with going Radeon. If they gained market leadership, they would absolutely be as shitty as Nvidia has been. So why would I buy into them and deal with their half baked features? Just cause they make their half baked features work on old GPUs? If I am buying a new GPU, why wouldn't I want the real deal? The 1080 Ti was legendary and the 4090 is 110% no 1080 Ti. The problem is, I don't know if we will get another 1080 Ti hence why it's the next best thing from my view. Cause look at how many games the 4090 can play at 4k Native with Ray Tracing enabled at well over 60fps. It's pretty dang impressive |
That's the thing, there are no good guys, not Nvidia, not intel and not even AMD.
As the Pirates 3rd film says "it's just good business".
AMD isn't discounting because they feel like it, it's because they have to primarily due to having such low market share, as well as bad mind share (People still think AMD's drivers are the same as they were a decade ago). I know Nvidia and AMD are banking and waiting on another crypto boom, and I know they'll likely jump right onto it, because it'll allow the scalpers to join in, the same scalpers AMD/Nvidia apparently hated and wanted to combat, but did no such thing...
Also, just because there's no future with Radeon, doesn't mean there is one with Nvidia, because I know deep down, Nvidia doesn't actually care what we want, because if you look at what they are currently interested and investing in, you can see that gaming isn't at the forefront anymore, it's AI and software.
We won't get another 1080ti, simply because of how it sold and how we all blabbed about it being this lightning in a bottle. Literally any intern could scour the net and search for us all gabbing about how good it was and it's price, and Nvidia can go "shit, we buggered that up, we clearly didn't wring them for enough cash, well we won't make that mistake again!".
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
