AMD RDNA3 unveiling event
- Thread starter CAT-THE-FIFTH
- Start date
It's painful, feels like rdna3 reviews are a lifetime away. Launching a new GPU so far out from reviews and sales is a goood way to kill excitement and hype. Mid December is also a weird time to start sales and reviews given all the holidays and closures meaning getting a GPU will be even harder than normal.

Hoping there's a good reason for it but in all honesty i can't think of one lol.

What do Nvidia have that AMD don't?
I guess better RT performance and better upscaling feature?
Till AMD catch up with RT it's always gonna be point of discussion
I was hoping they would have improved RT more looking at charts AMD showed also I ain't interested in paying £1k for a card

Once AMD catch up with RT it'll be something else, perhaps go back to 10 year old driver arguments.
The 4090 is 60% more expensive, if that's the price of better RT performance i'm more than happy not paying it, others can if they want but i don't want to hear AMD need to do better because my Nvidia GPU is too expensive, the reasons for that are thier choices, not AMD's.

On upscalling tech, AMD will have the same fake frame generation garbage Nvidia have soon...... it might be good for brining the frame rates up in Star Citizen, i might even have it before CIG are done converting the whole game to Vulkan, ongoing now for 2 years and apparently 90% done.
We'll see who gets there first.

Forza Horizon 5 has been FSR 2.2 since Tuesday. On a 1060 I get a 20% performance uplift at 1440p final resolution in quality mode, and the picture looks only a little bit worse than native+TAA. However that's still too soft for my liking so I take the hit of MSAA and native res instead.
We all know drivers thing is bs lol I have 5700xt with no issues, genuine one is RT even if you need it or not and down the stack it's likely Nvidia will be better at it
Still yet to see what both offer down the stack performance and price
I have no need to upgrade with 3080 but maybe next gen and see what's in the £600-£750 range which I will never go over
I don't have brand loyalty but as AMD seems the underdog I do want them to do well
What Nvidia trying to do with 4080 and likely down the stack is insulting I was chuffed with 3080 at £650

We are yet to see the RTX 4080 Ti which will likely deliver 90% of the 4090 performance for £400 less and have equivalent RT performance. There is just a small gap in price between the 4080 and 4090 so that's where it will fit.
I don't want AMD to do better so that Nvidia will be cheaper. I want them to do better so that Nvidia genuinely has competition in the halo card segment.

If the 7900XTX RT was = to 4090 i don't think there would be a 60% difference in price.
So i'm perfectly happy with just how it is, frankly i don't want vulgar reflection whores inflating the cost of these things, they have a choice, buy your stupid glossy frame generators and shut up about it your moaning is part of the problem.
If you look at how they priced their Ryzen 7000 CPUs, they are far from being underdogs. That generation only managed to increase sales of the 5800X3D even more than before.The only reason AMD is cheaper than Nvidia is because of RT, lack of an equivalent halo card and an AI based alternative to DLSS. If they outclass Nvidia in performance like they did with Intel, you can expect the same high prices.
I was on about GPU underdogs look at the market share / Mindshare , Intel have responded though they aint got crap products , who knows what will happen if they outclass nvidia I rather have 2 competing then just have 1 player

But when they are no longer the underdogs, they behave just like Intel and Nvidia. They had to be forced to bring the 5000 series to the 300 series boards and Intel is much better value at the low and mid tier, the exact opposite of the GPU market.
I don't think Intel is in the same league as AMD when it comes to CPUs atleast in gaming. The 3D variants of the 7000 series will destroy the 13900k in gaming but will likely be very expensive.

Pay more for better right? Or is that only ok when it applies to Intel and Nvidia?

I am buying that CPU when it comes out.

Yes it's worth it. I don't have a problem with companies charging halo prices for halo products.
