nvidia 50 series on the shelf and people are still not buying it waiting for 9070xt drops the missing ROPS and bad drivers putting people off I would assume they release a press statement about fixing black screens yesterday for the 5th time
Pent up demand combined with high costs, apparent lack of supply and worries over missing ROPs in the competitor products will do that.
True, noting that AMD have more profitable uses for their available wafers in terms of $/mm² competing for production.
Yes that's the elephant in the room.
Exactly. Sadly gamers are effectively offered what's left after other products have been prioritised above dGPU dies. Not that I'm suggesting that AMD have *no* interest in gaming, they do still produce GPUs, more that the strategic decision to produce a "7" class dGPU as the top of the line this generation was likely made taking into account silicon allocation pressures.
What lack of supply? No other industry is facing the same issues. No other parts are facing the same issue.
NVidia have been accused of a paper launch with relatively few units available for purchase.
You are wrong still, even apple uses tmsc among other companies so yes it's relevant because it's paints a picture where the prescalped prices only exist on gpus. I've explained already the chain is the same yet other companies have even achieved reduction in prices.
This is because they intentionally reduced manufacturing, it's very obvious they are trying to fabricate a supply and demand issue like the silicon shortage which affected everything. But right now no other parts is suffering that issue.
This should be thereabouts where the 9070XT RT hits on the heavy titles that nvidia usually would have stridden out. Also bear in mind I have for over four years a 3090 and I know this was not quite able to squeeze out great RT fps. I don't think the 4070Ti was much better than it, at least from the charts I recall seeing?
If by that it is meant that AMD have assigned wafers from their finite allocation based on their prioritisation of their different product segments then "yes" - as other product segments are more profitable in general and in $/mm² terms.
Don't forget the occasional flames.
Wafers are finite for everyone yet all other parts are not following the same cost increase pattern.
You are almost saying that it’s a cartel without actually saying it lmao
Maybe take a look at revenues and profitability per market segment for both AMD and NVidia - it's self explanatory.
This is literally true for everyone.
And people have been conditioned already and it's sad and I do take pity.
In which case both companies are enjoying profits from the datacentre and AI segments. They are under no obligation to reduce their profits just because consumers want dGPUs.
