    One more “crooknalist” on the Nvidia payroll? (green for green?)…

    Using Nvidia ATM though…

    AMD could easily gain a foot in the European market if their power consumption was lower.

    Right now it is stupid to buy an AMD card, if you live in an area with high energy costs

    People always find something to complain about. I love my 6800XT. I switched over from a 3070 and I don’t think I’ll be going back to NVidia anytime soon. You literally cannot beat AMDs value to cost ratio. Sure, I’m losing some ray tracing power, but the card kicks ass all around.
    My 3070 was severely underwhelming for what I paid for it. My 6800XT doesn’t have that issue. I paid $450 for it and it runs circles around the 3070. Dollar for dollar, unless you’re running benchmarks, AMD will always pull through. MAYBE before NVidia shifted their cards down a class (80=70 70=60 60 = only a marginally better 50) and raised their prices through the roof, they had the lead, but where we stand now, no way in hell

    Reading into what AMD is doing in AI in the business market, I would think next gen AMD GPUs will have better AI leading to better FSR etc.

    I recently got the 7900 XTX, and I have no complaints at all.

    I can see them dropping this business and jumping straight into ARM. Sell (guessing) 15M-30M GPUs or supply chips for up to 200M devices annually expected to double by 2027 is a pretty easy decision

    Probably the most bang for your buck gpu to buy rn is the 6800xt/7800xt so I’m unsure why that guy thinks AMD should throw in the towel.

    If AMD drops the discreet GPU market it’s because they’re going to focus on integrated chips because they’re better for consoles.

    But this reads like clickbaity conjecture.

    Based on the article, AMD will be around in PC graphics for a long time, in my opinion. I don’t think they’re one to give up, even if they trail nvidia for a while.

    If PCgamer continues to spam poorly written clickbaity negative driven articles like they have lately, I have a tough time believing they will stick around for much longer.

    Trash outlets usually don’t last long when people can easily mute it now.

    Is it just me or does AMD’s desktop GPU strategy just seem bad?

    Nvidia basically makes sure their stupid expensive card is the fastest each generation. Invests heavily into drivers. Rolls out new technologies so people have a reason to justify buying Nvidia even if pricing is high. And is an absolute marketing Juggernaut.

    AMD is unable to take the top performance spot, plays catch up on features and doesn’t price their cards that aggressively.

    Maybe they need to resurrect the fury brand, throw 600W of tdp and built in liquid cooling at it. And grab the top spot. Then price the rest of the lineup aggressively, and focus mostly on drivers and their own technology features.

    Last time the GPU market really felt like a fight was with the R9 290x, which was the last time an AMD GPU had the top performance crown.

    I am going for RDNA5 GPU (possibly the very hi-end SKU or one step below). My reasoning is following: it has been known for some time that RDNA5 should be great all over the lineup, it is likely so good that AMD decided to cut higher RDNA4 SKUs in favor of quickening the design process of RDNA5 SKUs. This level of confidence is not usual and shows that 5th gen should perform very well. Also, no matter the actual real performance, AMD simply must price it well enough to try and gain market share, thus very good news for end-users like us. Fifth gen of their RDNA will also likey feature in next-gen Xbox and PS6, so it is bound to be supported very well into the future (similar to RDNA2, GPUs came with no FSR support at all and now these cards can do frame-gen via FSR3).
