And restock shipments are already on there way. AMD would be wise to flood the market right now. Nvidia doesn't care. They barely ship anything. What little they do ship carries a chance of defective hardware (missing ROPs) and their drivers have been a joke. I've never seen lines for an AMD card like I did at Microcenters for the 9070XT. Based on comments from various Microcenters they've never such interest in an AMD card before. |
Pretty much what happens when Radeon has an excellent product. People can talk about mindshare and Nvidia fanboying and all that all they want but the reality is that Nvidia features have been worth the extra price for most people. It's like, what would you rather have, 5% faster Raster performance if you go Radeon or a complete feature set if you go Nvidia. The market has clearly spoken and if Radeon fumbled once again with FSR, I think that despite Nvidia's problems, people still would have paid extra for Nvidia.
Luckily that is not the case. FSR4 sitting between DLSS 3 and DLSS 4 is the best outcome Radeon could have asked for. It makes the premium that Nvidia is charging effectively useless because Radeon has feature parity for the most part. Sure Ray Tracing performance could be better and such but really when people have to choose between $150 more or 12GB of vram from Nvidia, the option is easy... Go Radeon. Hopefully the restocks will be good because Radeon will certainly gain market share this generation if Nvidia doesn't wake up.
