It is of course as much in the interests of nvidia fanboys that AMD continues to be a strong innovator and competitor in the discreet graphics market. Without effective competition from AMD, nvidia's dominance, and crucially prices, will rise while innovation will fall leading to even poorer value for us consumers than we get already. That's in absolutely nobody's interest, other than nvidia shareholders' perhaps. I'm not suggesting we let AMD off the hook for their current poor performance, but this hysterical condemnation that is happening in the press and forums just now is not going to end well
Edit: Now we've got Asus jumping on the bandwagon and blaming AMD instead of their own product testing for their 5700xt rog strix overheating problem. WTF is going on?
Edit2: Correction. Asus dont explicitly blame AMD - there was implied blame on the design recommendations - but the press are embellishing the facts to make it sound like they did. Nothing new there of course but the AMD bashing is unrelenting now. AMD need to do something amazing quickly to win back the PR battle
