Nvidia really doesn't like giving their more mid-low range a decent about of Vram. That range is also not very upscaling friendly whether you use DLSS or FSR. Like yea DLSS is better than FSR but they are both notably worse than Native at low resolutions where as 1440p-4k, DLSS/FSR gets massively better. So all Radeon needs to do is come out with a 8600XT with 12GB of vram for $250 and 8700XT with 16GB of vram at $350 and 8800XT with 20GB at $500. Leave anything higher than $500 to Nvidia because the volume of sales is sub $500. Then once you build a customer base and gain market share, then you can use the added R&D for software or added features. Because while the margins are at the high end, brand loyalty is in the low-mid end. Have 3-4 generations of excellent sub $600 GPUs and that brand loyalty and market share will increase. This is how Ryzen has been so successful over the years because people got tired of Intels shat and their dumb pricing. But who knows at this point. |
I think my biggest gripe with Nvidia the past 2 gens has gotta be their focus on AI to carry the workload, and the fact that they only have two high end cards that are basically needed to tackle modern AAA games, the rest either can't perform very well, or absolutely need DLSS just to keep up slightly with the two highest end models (really did not help them this gen with fucking around with the numbers, like the 80 not actually being an 80 and the 90 being the real 80 series).
Yeah, looking at that recent PL benchmark testing from Daniel, anything below 1440p using DLSS or FSR just doesn't look all that rgeat, and well, even with 2077 the gains aren't that grand either, only until you see him use FG+RR with the 4080/4090 do you see the stupidly large gains, which means AMD/Intel are up shit creek in that arena.
(His benches are great, but seriously depressing to see only the 4080/90 being the ultimate stand-out cards in his entire test run).
Yeah, I do wish AMD would try emulating what they did with Ryzen, because hot damn did that turn the tide and earn a load of goodwill (I mean it's working on me, I absolutely want my next CPU to be an AMD one, because I'm just done with Intel's prices, especially their dumbass naming schemes and numbering).
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"
