Exactly. This is the right approach now a days.Lets say AMD is 90-95% performance with their top tier cards to NV, but uses less power, costs less, doesn't require a new power connector or PSU. I'd say thats a huge success.
That describes a lot of generations lately, and yet AMD falls further and further behind.Lets say AMD is 90-95% performance with their top tier cards to NV, but uses less power, costs less, doesn't require a new power connector or PSU. I'd say thats a huge success.
We may know more tomorrow.Exactly. This is the right approach now a days.
The 500w gpus, and 1200w power supplies to drive them are absurd, and becoming even more so. Hopefully rumors are wrong, and nvidia has equal or less than powet consumption than 3000/series.
Sorry I have to disagree amd has been on point with the 6000 series cards and price competitive at every tier sub 1500. I don't see them as falling further behind. They caught up and made it a race. Now to see if thst was just a lucky sprint or if they can stay neck and neck.That describes a lot of generations lately, and yet AMD falls further and further behind.
January 2019I don't see them as falling further behind.
I agree with this - early on they really struggled with inventory issues on the 6000 series. The 6800/6900 were rock stars, but they never really came out with a compelling lower tier affordable parts either: I know that 6700-6400 parts exist, but I never really saw much of them, other than the laughing stock that the 6500/6400 were, and with the exception of those two very poorly reviewed parts, it left a huge hole in the lineup with the 6600 just shy of $400 MSRP.I'd venture to say that AMD lost marketshare when they couldn't get inventory in to the hands of retailers when it mattered. They missed the boat. Hopefully they actually deliver 7000 series so people can buy them.
That's true. Mid-range cards make up the bulk of what is being used by gamers. 3090's and 6900XT's are fine and dandy, but most people aren't going to pay those prices.I agree with this - early on they really struggled with inventory issues on the 6000 series.

AMD did seem to rebound faster on inventory - 6900 and 6800 cards did seem to get inventory and prices returning to sanity sooner than nVidia offerings. Part of that could just be that a lot of people will hold out waiting on nVidia cards though.
To be fair, no one really had anything affordable / lower tier this last generation. nVidia responded by re-releasing the 1660 and 2060s, and the prices on those were crazy
But the place where you really make up marketshare is exactly in that range: 8 of the top 10 GPUs on the Steam Hardware Survey fall squarely in that exact demographic and make up nearly 1/3 of all GPU installs -- and none of them are AMD
rebadge the current 6900XT as the 7600XT and sell it for $400-500
If it were me I'd still rebadge the 6900XT as the 7600XT. When Navi 33 is ready, if it's better than the 6900XT, then badge it as 7650XT.That is supposed to be Navi 33. Originally rumored to launch next month, but now postponed to next year
