AMD RDNA3 unveiling event

Exactly, I find it odd the appeal to **** over the amd threads relentlessly especially defending the competition. If people think they are so good then go buy one - except we all know its pathetically overpriced and the reason why tiny amounts are being bought. We all know he's dying to get a 4080 and the 4070 plan backfired many moons ago. :cry:



100%. Found out Fred.

Imagine buying a 3080FE for RT and finding it obsolete in 2 years...

Didn't you see the debunk for that?

OcUK RX7900 series review thread

Shhh, we’re not allowed to talk about the choke. :p

Oh wait, sorry I forgot, fingers in ears and only pay attention to the one site again.

:cry:

No, it was factors in buying the next GPU. Different context.

I'm referring to posts overall in that thread (people give that reason as to why they went rdna 2 over ampere) as well as in other threads, do I need to do a mass quote? :D

I have already stated if I am buying ada, it will be the 4090 or inevitable 80ti, saved all that money by not bending over for the 3090 and paying the "additional" £750 for that 10-15% extra performance if that in a few games.... :eek: :cry: :D

I’m not sure what proportion of the cost of the graphics card is the GPU and what profit margin they have on that (Nvidia overall margin was around 20%). The fact EVGA pulled out from Nvidia due to not profit margin means the manufacturers of the cards aren’t making much. That could be enlightening to how low they could bring the price.

True.

I would love to know what the margins are now especially with amds gpus as it has been stated chiplet is much cheaper so I reckon amd are making a killing now.
 
At this rate its a case of checking in again when the refreshes are announced. That or see if some large price drops kick in.

Which was the correct reason for that gen. They didn't give it for RDNA 3 over Ada.

Majority of them probably stick by their decision, as waiting another gen was a large price uplift, low performance uplift.

So you agree then, it's the usual of when one side does better, it's the most important thing for the fans but when the other side does worse, it no longer matters? :D Bit weird to change their minds on power efficiency/consumption given energy costs now compared to then :cry:

I so can't wait for the day when/if amd do ray tracing better to see the flip flopping happening :cry:

EDIT:

Also that thread when created would have been mainly referring to ada/rdna 3 and not so much ampere/rdna 2 gen..... of course not everyone who voted/commented in that thread would have had ampere/rdna 2 but given this forum and most of the active posters, a good chunk would have been on them gpus.

I mean, I didn't say that. Your poll asked what would be the main reason for changing GPU. People gave their reasons and made their purchases. A simple price/performance was never an option, when it's pretty blatantly the main one in most circumstances. Availability was never an option, when at that particular point in time it was pretty crucial. Also, it was one of 3 - vRAM and raster were the other two main points, from memory. One in favour of 7900XTX, the other relatively even, though game dependent. Not exactly a clear cut win.

Price/performance I would argue is looking more like RDNA 3, although there are currently caveats. 4090 is outright most powerful., no doubt. RT is still pretty niche, but an adjustable option. It may well get more important, but buying now it is not a deal breaker. The people that find it a deal breaker will likely to try and upgrade every gen - That's not the majority.

All cards are too much money.

I think so too. AMD margins will be notably higher and it means Nvidia wouldn’t win a price war at the moment. It does also mean we may see console performance go up quite a bit without a hit on cost.

If people voted with their wallet and didn't buy either, they would :) Just look at what amd had to do with their ryzen 7xxx cpus ;)

With inflation, 4080 should be no more than £850 at most and a 7900xtx no more than £800

Anyone who has worked in an industry impacted by supply chain challenges and electronic component shortages during the past 2 years knows that there is far more than headline inflation in play here.
