Would that not have been good for Nvidia though instead of a card with sales on life support.

Competitor rules

The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.
Do AMD provide any benefit to the retail GPU segment.
I want them to do well and there to be competition. And by that I mean better prices for me whichever way I go. But these days AMD are happy just letting their market share drop into single digits by not pricing where they should.
Then you have people defending them saying why should AMD price it much lower than Nvidia. Erm...
Makes me laugh. People slated the 4080 due to its looney pricing (rightly so). Then the same people when the 7900 XTX hit were saying it is very good and priced well. Erm....
As @CAT-THE-FIFTH pointed out Nvidia have $5 Billion worth of inventory collecting dust.
I don't know what it is with Nvidia but despite that ^^^^ they still insist on selling last gen for above MSRP, they are loosing sales, so much so that they have cut TSMC orders by more than one third.
They are incredibly pig headed about making us like this new normal of very expensive cards, AMD have slashed last gen prices to below MSRP now, in some cases by a huge chunk.
They have already bought up some of Nvidia no longer needed capacity and have recently announced they will be buying up a lot more.

Possibly, though they appear to have taken the stance that they can create a new normal at these price points. It's bizarre.
I used to think this way too. But when AMD don't care enough to price their products as we all expect, why should I line their shareholders pockets?
They will have done that to themselves though.

I can't wait for the 7800XT to cost less than the 3080, currently £750 and kill it stone dead so Nvidia are forced to either write off $5 Billion or fire sale the 3000 series, at long last.

They would have sold it at under $700, just like they did with Fury and Vega.

If they price the 7600XT, 7700XT and 7800XT just right with plenty of VRAM they could put a nice dent in Nvidia's sales/pricing. Do they have the volume though? I'd sell my 3060Ti for a 7800XT if they price it right.
What was this in reference to?
Don't know, i think 16GB and = to 6900XT for $649 for the 7800XT.
AMD bought up massive amounts of 5nm and Zen 4 isn't selling as well as Zen 3 did, so it should be good capacity, they are also buying up Nvidia's cancelled 4nm.

They were misquoted from an original statement they made, regarding future plans, so responded with that on what their future plans are.
All but confirming they don't want to compete in that price segment. 11:30 in the video of the tweet

Ah ok thanks
I've heard it said before that internally AMD just don't want to go above $1000 for retail GPU's, too much of a risk for them and they think their partners to design $1400 GPU's that they then have to reduce to $1000 because no one wants them.

Totally worth it for not having to use FSR alone.
I'm not going to complain about the price of the 4090, its a halo money is no object product, and a good one.
My problem is with Nvidia trying to push people who don't have unlimited resources in to much higher price bands or you get nothing.
Yes people may point at the 7900XT but at lease AMD quietly admitted they got that wrong and corrected it, Nvidia just give you the finger.

Well that's fair enough, I can sure see that point!
With the 4090 you're getting 28% better raster and 72% better RT when you look at a summary of multiple reviews for 53% more money as a UK buyer which is actually very good scaling for a halo card.

AMD haven't corrected the 7900XT all they have done is drop the price to match the terribly priced 4070ti, both those cards should be around £600.

i'm looking at TPU 4K results, as is my usual for many years, i really don't know why you should feel the need to correct me in this way and big the 4090 up more. all sites have variation from eachother and i've said the 4090 is a good card, i have no issue with it.

Oh and I just noticed your location changed. Not sure if that was you or a mod, but either way it is accurate
