So let me get this straight...

Intel launches B580 in December. 12GB of vram. $250. Shows Raster benchmarks against Nvidia's 4060.

Nvidia launches RTX 5000 series in January. Ai this and Ai that. Price is generally bad outside of the 5070 Ti.

Radeon skips CES but has a slight press briefing. Delays their launch till March for god knows why while shipping their cards to retailers already.

What is this timeline lol

I swear we've entered a warped timeline where NO ONE wants to directly compete with one another anymore.

Look at the consoles and the directions all 3 of them are going in, barely wanting to go toe to toe with one another these days. Look at Streaming and it's the same song & dance, and now we look at GPU's and again, competition trying to avoid each other with slight focusing on other areas outside of their core markets.

Is it me or are businessmen too lazy/scared to compete anymore?, or they just don't think it's worth dumping even a fraction of the money they've earned, to push marketing and sales to directly compete?. Why the fuck is everyone avoiding each other like this?, I genuinely want to know what caused this spin across multiple industries. 

Like I see portable HW directly competing, but I don't see it happening in the same vein for the former I mentioned.

You would think a company like Radeon would look at their 10% market share and money from console sales slowing due to Xbox not competing and such as an indication to go for "Desperate times calls for Desperate measures" mode but naw. At this rate, we are head towards the dark age of PC gaming and I'll likely be keeping my 4090 for at least 4-6 years. The only light that I see might be Intel with their GPUs but who knows. So many things have gone to shit, it's not even funny.
