And hopefully their launch RDNA 4 with less deceit during their press conferences and give people realistic expectations and price their products more appropriately. Instead of rebranding the 800XT to 900XT and pricing the 900XT $900, do it the proper way and just call it the 800XT and price it $700-$750. And now that they have the Ai hardware, come out with an Ai based upscaler to compete against DLSS and XeSS. AMDs moto in the past has been they are the good guys and hopefully, they get back in track cause we all know Nvidia sure isn't. |
It just seemed like AMD weren't ready this generation. From the botched reveal to the actual launch. Then you have the software development of the drivers where 6000 series owners had no updates for months. Granted it was their first attempt at MCM, its not like they regressed in performance but I think they largely underdelivered. Hopefully we'll see some big changes and impovements with RDNA 4.
One way to get some good will back is price the cards reasonably. And move on with software development like you said. They have decent hardware, but the software is way behind. Hopefully we'll get to see some bettered version of FSR that's actually more comparable to DLSS and FSR 3.0 actually delivers.
Even better if AMD and RTG has the inititive to work on their own unique features and selling points in their GPU's.

Yeah, might garner more interest especially if Nvidia does a refresh as well going into next year.

It's like they are using 4090s as test bench. Kind of crazy honestly that you need a 4090 to get above 4k 60fps stable which it really shouldn't be the case.. |
Really goes to show how messed GPU's are this generation. Extreme price hikes baring the 4090. And needing to spend so much to get a decent experience to play the latest games in 4K. In most part largely thanks to poor optimisation. Really, we should be easily able to handle 4K ultra no issues at 60FPS or over on higher end GPU's. Especially when spending $1000 and over.
Honestly really hope Intel delivers with their Battlemage. Maybe that will wake AMD and Nvidia up a bit moving forward.
