If you are awaiting the new AMD for purchase, set your standards lower and anything above is a nice bonus. Saves the hype taking over.

Just meaning it wasn't until just before the reveal that Hype Train got up to speed.

I did think the world economy would impact spending but it doesn't seem to have. The PS5 and XBX launches also disprove that theory.

I think people stuck home, not able to spend money on holidays and normal going out spending has left a surplus, the fall you expect I personally feel will be next year, the jobs market is going to be broken for a very long time, and the cash people have now will run out eventually.

Everything will crash but I suspect not until mid next year.

6900XTX appears, seems AMD's top card might be a dual GPU PCB?

AMD's first MCM GPU or Crossfire?

We were quite optimistic Grim, its only the naysayers latching on to the 3070 meme's or the navi22 leaks thinking they have no answer to the 3080 and 3090. Some of the amd bias tubers (NAAF, RGT) put out a few times there were verbal hints from insiders that they have high end options.

I'm amazed at the spending going on - and wondering how many are doing it on credit that is going to come crashing down. I work in distribution/logistics and the demand for consumer goods is not showing any sign of slowing down with this situation it is crazy - some seem to be spending like they expect the world to end tomorrow.

I work on a port unloading ships and we are busier than ever, so people are not changing their buying habits and the fact that the government are doing 95% mortgages for new buyers is a worry. Jobs are being lost everywhere and whilst I follow the YOLO theory, getting a GPU on credit isn't something I would ever do.

Same here, but will pay by CC.

Retail therapy, new and shiny. I don't blame people considering the year we've had.

Yes Sir. I always buy with my CC, just for safety but always pay it off.

Same here, that is where people make a mistake not paying it off or buying something letting the amount mount up where you paying a lot of interest, had a friend paying 80 to 100 a month interest and that was 30 years ago, he just shuffled money about from month to month.

Wise words. We as enthusiasts do seem to have a tendency to set ourselves unrealistic expectations based off rumour, innuendo and Santa's wish list. Then we blame AMD for not meeting those expectations :P

A certain about of excitement and hype is good and can be fun but we still need to accept that, until it's official from AMD, anything is possible from a performance perspective.

My fingers are still crossed that they knock it out the park though :P

While that is true - it makes some people's posts and the style of their criticism look rather silly in hindsight if AMD doesn't deliver a reasonable launch.

I have seen very few people (if any) post anything other than speculation or hopes on how the AMD Navi 2 launch will go. I genuinely have not seen someone post a claim that AMD 100% will have a perfect launch, so you are making a straw-man argument.

Example: Someone posts IF (or I hope) AMD have a good GPU in plentiful supply at a good price, then they will get a lot of sales because of Nvidia's lack of supply. That statement is speculative by virtue of the fact it is qualified with an IF or I hope. It is therefore illogical to reply to that post stating "you will look stupid IF AMD don't deliver", because you are replying to a purely speculative assumption. Ergo, it is impossible for the person who made the speculative claim to look in any way silly.

Your posting in this way looks like Nvidia apologetics and pre-emptive whataboutism. Regardless of how AMDs launch, it is a 100% fact that Nvidia's 30X0 launch (not the physical GPUs) is poor. No amount of "but AMD" will diminish that fact.
