The FUTURE of Graphics

So what about AMD cards then?

Where does the 590, 580, 570, 560, 550 or even the new 5700 fit in then if everything from the 2060/super is low end?

Who knows where AMD's kit is meant to fit as they've messed with their tiers.

They almost seem scared to release their lower Navi cards too which I think is because of said messed up tiers.

If I had a freesync screen then they would get a look in but until then Nvidia only.

Or Until AMD can do G Sync.

This is another thing wrong with the GPU market. Having a monitor only compatible with one team to use it's full capabilities means you have to go with that one team until it dies or you replace it.
 
G-sync is going to die off so don't count on AMD supporting it. No one wants to pay Nvidia for it when there is a free alternative.

Or just dont buy it. GSYNC isnt a requirement. It's definitely a nice to have, but you'd do just fine without it.

Easy to say now.

But when I bought my first g sync monitor Nvidia dominated the market and AMD were in ruins.

So buying a G Sync made sense. Now it's a bit more competitive and AMD have decent cards available at decent prices I'm now locked into Nvidia. I could not use G sync but then what is the point in having the monitor?

I'm now facing a loss of g sync or the loss of having a g sync monitor where free sync has made a dent in the market.

Ideally both techs would be compatible with both cards.
 
I have a G-Sync monitor and I am using a Vega 56 just fine. Not going to let G-Sync tie me into anything. I will buy what I want.

Saying that I am waiting on a 3070 and will be buying that on release which will likely stay in my system for a long time.

I sold my expensive Gsync monitor as I wanted more real estate. Bought a very cheap recommended monitor which just happened to be gsync compatible and now couldnt be happier and further down the line can swap to AMD. Plus I had money left over from the sale of the monitor.

There are ways out of the trap.
 
Reading this thread did anyone actually watch this video?!? Because the responses make it look like you didn't... :D:D:D I thought it was actually quite interesting once you got past the voice being a bit ASMR and monotone. A few interesting points about how companies work and market stuff and why Nvidia were probably more after getting RTX as a thing in peoples heads making it synonymous with ray tracing rather than actually creating the best implementation because as the video showed, RTX doesn't look great and wont get anywhere unless its used by developers or indeed they have an incentive to.

To me the 2060 series will always be low end. I don't care if they moved the goalposts by pricing them higher.

That's because you are living in the past. As I said earlier in the thread, you are making a mistake in how the current generation works. The 2060 is not a replacement for the 1060. The 1060 was a mainstream card. The 2060 cards are now the upper end of Mid Range.

Do you consider the GTX 1080 low end?

A card that's built for 1440P gaming isn't low end.
 
I can't see the video at the minute, but for everybody saying "computer-generated voice", is this video from Coreteks? If so, that is actually his voice believe it or not. He's Portuguese and has some weird phrasing and pacing when speaking English, giving him this odd synthesised quality.

the RTX lined up is mid range and high end parts only. The low end stuff is called GTX

If it was me I'd look into selling my G-sync monitor & replacing it with a good adaptive sync model so that I can use any brand of graphics card including Intel's upcoming releases.
There's going to be a time when people's opinion of G-sync monitors hits rock bottom because of said exclusivity, When that happens their value will go down as will their popularity making them a hard sell at a decent price,
There will be exceptions but not many.
