Well the problem with being in AMD's position and competing against Nvidia is that Nvidia will try to match almost every price point. AMD releases 5600 XT, Nvidia responds with 2060 KO. AMD releases 5700, Nvidia responds with 2060 Super price cut. AMD releases 5700 XT, Nvidia sandwiches it by re-releasing 2070 and releasing 2070 Super. AMD releases anything lower than a 5600 XT and Nvidia has a billion iterations of 1650/1660/1660Ti.

The thing with beefing up existing features is that it only really works if the competition sacrificed existing features for those new features therefore having less performance in return. Nvidia stayed relatively the same sure but AMD only caught up. So you have a situation where Nvidia is giving you good-excellent rasterization performance + giving you a taste of the future while having the full feature set ready for next generation vs AMD is giving you good-very good rasterization for the similar price with worse driver support...

There is certainly a market for AMD cards no doubt and the once in a few years crypto boom that seems to happen also helps with AMD's sales. But it's a position of uncertainty as Nvidia is playing in the same space.

I like this analogy but I don't think it's quite works in this comparison. Waiting for AMD drivers doesn't get you a better driver than what Nvidia gives you in day one. Waiting on AMD driver allows you to play the games like the Nvidia people have been playing all this time.

And yea that's true but it is a risky business being in second place as your competitor gets to dedicate how much profit you can have which I would say isn't very good for business.

So if AMD can't beat Nvidia on price point since they will match it or come close, what's AMD's incentive to undercut Nvidia or themselves? Why bother with dedicated (consumer) GPU's at all if you're surrounded?

Could Nvidia have done more with existing (hardware) features if they left out things like RT on the 2000 series? Did they really do the right thing that was best for the consumer? Based on the 3000 series leaks, it seems like the consumers agreed, prices be damned. AMD likes money too just by chance.

I don't just mean drivers. What about waiting for prices to get to a point where they are at the very least, reasonable, top to bottom? If fewer people bought in so early, the prices would flat line and remain there since they won't drop much without serious competition along with a price war. Some people won't wait though, so why offer better pricing? In fact, why not keep increasing?

Second place has it's benefits as well though. You aren't expected to always have the newest features. You aren't expected to have the best tech. You're seen as the underdog, which helps a lot if you ever decide to take a shot at the title. The fall is a lot further from the top.

Cause if they have similar price but worse drivers and less features. What incentive is there to buy AMD?

Nvidia could have certainly had better performance sure but by having these features baked into Turing, they now have experience as to what works and what doesn't. Take DLSS for example, 1.0 was terrible. 2.0, incredible. Now going into 3000 series, they will probably have even more of an improved version. Then you have ray tracing. RDNA 2 will be AMD's first attempt and it might be good but this will be Nvidia's second generation which should mean greater gains. Now one could argue that consumer are the ones getting screwed but since the alternative is not having any of these at all while having lower or similar performance... I think most people would rather have the first generation features + the similar performance even if the first gen features are not fully ready for prime time. Since the prices are similar that is.

Well if AMD wants to price like Nvidia, it won't be reasonable... Personally I don't consider the 5000 prices very reasonable myself as they lack Ray Tracing, Tensor cores and DX12 Ultimate.

That's true.

But that's the thing though, AMD is coming in now with lesser drivers, lesser tech and still going for Nvidia's pricing ideals, which is just going to end with them at a net loss, and hardly anyone will want to bother with them, when Nvidia is already on their 2nd gen RT, while AMD charges the same price and hardly bothering, let alone not adding in tech like DLSS, GFE (still lacking in the AMD dept for many features GFE has) as well as GFN (which was a boon for CDPR showing off Cyberpunk to review outlets during the pandemic, where's AMD's neato extremely helpful feature and pro push for that?).

MS has also been the underdog for years now in the console space. Sony's been pulling ahead time and time again, they've got the money and mind-share, deals made all around, now we've got the sweet spot Epic+Sony buddying up, with MS and no one (Nvidia isn't helping them, AMD, god knows wtf they are pushing that's as worthy as what Nvidia is bringing to PC gaming, to Xbox levels). MS has been playing that title for years now and it's hardly helped them pull a massive, heavy hitting, outta the park hit, that lands them a top spot, which you would naturally and eventually think an underdog would achieve in the end, but they've yet to get to that point, and we both know they won't, because Sony's got next gen in the bag thanks to mind-share and partnerships, just like how Nvidia has an insane amount of mind-share with their GPU's and tech. 

I just don't see how being an underdog-=being the same as top place or it somehow being a good position to stay comfortable in for decades on end. Being 2nd place for years just shows you cannot last forever, and that you're just not good enough. I already look at MS as having lost the console space for some time now. I'm just waiting for them to eventually drop it and move back to PC, because let's face it, that's where they started, that's where they ultimately belong.

They never really belonged or fit in all that well with the console space, and sales, lacking mind-share and memorable content (outside of shooty shooty bang bang titles) just prove this over time. Maybe if they take this upcoming gen by a complete storm, and firmly secure it throughout the new gen, then maybe I'd pay credence to that underdog anology, but right now, I don't see it as being something of a good thing.

That's true.

So that you don't end up with one GPU company that can do whatever they want (assuming Intel Xe hasn't caught up). Just look at what happened to Intel core CPU's.

If Radeon market share won't increase much no matter what AMD does, then what are they supposed to do? Create worthy consumer GPU's for cheap just for the sake of it? Since it's highly unlikely that AMD can take both the CPU and GPU crown, and since AMD is clearly more focused on CPU's, then they should just keep doing what their doing by milking their GPU's until Nvidia takes the entire market from them regardless? In which case, assuming Intel Xe is still trailing where Radeon was at, and Nvidia has almost the entire market to itself, they won't get absolutely out of control when it comes to pricing, or eventually slack off?

Setting expectations too high and continually buying into the most popular brand could lead to ending up with just Nvidia as the majority discreet GPU manufacturer, which would be the worst possible scenario. Ryzen moments are not the norm and shouldn't be the expectation.

Being the underdog for too long can eventually become a major problem for a company and all consumers of those products, because lack of competition over long periods time leads to even worse problems.

I think MS was initially more so in the console space to keep SNY out of the PC space, and not just gaming. MS losing a few billion to protect it's hundreds of billions from becoming tens of billions makes sense.

@EricHiggin
My issue is here that with AMD adjusting their prices up to Nvidia, they are actually doing the worse thing. Nvidia has raised their prices in the past 5 years considerably, but that coincides with them putting out banger after banger of GPU. Nvidia architectures haven't just been great because the lack of competition, they are great just on their own and compared to their own products. Nvidia has been innovating and not holding back any performance even though they easily could've. Their price hikes may not be completely justified but you know what's even less justified? AMD adjusting their prices up without delivering competitive products.

If you go hard on Nvidia for high prices you should go even harder on AMD if they follow it up. If we want prices to come down due to competition then AMD has to price their chips at the level we would like them to have based on their performance and features. But we already know AMD won't do that.

Nvidia's higher prices are basically just our self imposed tax for them not putting on the breaks when they could've due to a lack of competition.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Right but most people won't think like that. People won't throw away 100s of dollars so they can donate to AMD and keep them alive while having a worse experience.

They need to keep trying cause if they don't, they will keep on losing market share until they get axed.

Nvidia is already the majority.

Personally I do like AMD. I really do. I was one of the first gen buyers as I owned a Ryzen 7 1700. Now I have a 3900X. I am a bit salty that I am not getting 4000 series but it wasn't like I was gonna upgrade to it anyway. I don't want an Intel situation although Nvidia's will probably be worse in terms of pricing than intel if they were the only ones left. But that doesn't mean I am going to donate to AMD since I am not a charity. AMD needs to find a way out of the hole they are in with their GPUs. And right now while their CPU's are very popular is the best time to do it as they can afford to take risks. Cause if Intel comes back at full force while they are struggling against Nvidia, it will once again, not be a good outlook for them. It wasn't too long ago they were bleeding money left and right. They fixed a big leak but there's still one left. Before the second Intel ice burg hits, they better have fixed the other leak cause otherwise... Back to the Penny stock they go...

Personally I think RDNA2 could be their ticket if they play their cards right. They don't need to be the performance king, they need to be the value king. Not similar price but less features and less performance cause that's not good value imo.

That's what people said about Intel before Ryzen showed up. Something is only the best of the best until it's not.

Now I agree that it doesn't seem as though Nvidia slacked off on the same level that Intel had, but when they strategically launch models against the competition with just the right timing, as well as price cuts at times, are they really being all that they can be for the consumer? Could those products and cheaper prices not have come sooner?

AMD likely won't do that because it will probably mean Radeon only sells marginally more and will just end up losing money, or selling more GPU's for the same profit anyway. In that case AMD might as well make as much as they can by doing as little as they can within reason.

Ok but you pointed out that Nvidia will try to price match Radeon or close enough, so unless AMD purposely sells at cost, how can they compete? It seems to me that if Radeon is less performing and cheap or expensive, they lose, the same performance for slightly less or the same, they lose, so the only chance in a situation like this, is to simply be the very best and then there's no reason not to sell the most while charging the most, right?

They essentially need a hail marry architecture that can allow them to do just that. Zen wasn't just a better version of FX or a better version of what Intel was doing with their consumer cpus. It was very different architecture. They need something like it. Whether or not they can do it and whether or not Nvidia is too far ahead is another question entirely. They can try to charge comparable prices sure but that's a very short term strategy that won't go very far as charging similar pricing changes the perspective from underdog value company to Pricey but worse. Why would people want to cheer for AMD if they are gonna do the similar horrible pricing as Nvidia but without the features and drivers? Cause that would mean that if AMD were top, they aren't gonna bring prices down, they would increase it further while giving you less than Nvidia...

Intel introduces Thunderbolt 4 combining the best of Thunderbolt 3 and USB4 with universal connectivity and enhanced security. This might mean we get to see thunderbolt on Ryzen laptops sometime next year. It does have the same bandwidth as thunderbolt 3 and the improvements are very minor. We probably won't get much of an improvement until Intel fully adopts PCI-E 4.0.

Rocket League released on July 7, 2015, making it exactly five years old today. The news surprised me, because I feel like I've been playing car soccer for decades now. It's just one of those games that instantly felt timeless.

Pagan Online, Wargaming and Mad Head Games' action-RPG, is dropping the online part. It launched last year, but it never managed to tempt many players into its grindy lootfest, and keeping it online has apparently become unsustainable.

Modern Warfare concept art shows off the zombie mode that never was

It looks like the no-zombies rule wasn't settled on straight away, however, and some undead concept art has appeared.
