Do AMD provide any benefit to the retail GPU segment.

AMD consumer GPU marketing seems to be run by a Varoufakis clone TBH, it's almost as if they are testing game theory with it rather than putting up a coherent strategy.
 
How far behind Nvidia with RT are AMD likely to be with their mid-tier cards? If they get vaguely in the right ball park (say 2/3rds performance), and get FSR3 working by the time they release that could be close enough.

Ironically high GPU prices means AMD wins by default. How?

- They own console
- APUs are mostly their game
- They actually decide what the minimum requirements are as developers cannot afford to ignore Valve (Steam Deck)

Guess what, games are still playable on lower settings and most of us grew up playing with stuff looking much worse than that and we still had tons of fun.
Would I like prettier graphics? Of course! Do I need it? No way!

If there was an easy way for flat screens to better emulate CRT fuzziness I'd be probably be still playing DOS games.

Put it this way, there are more owners of ps5 then people owning gaming pcs above 1060 lol.

The pcmr with all this hardware and don't buy games and ask why on their pc that costs thousands that the game performance is terrible.

They really can't add it up together

Just like with Ryzen, AMD needs generation after generation of good, reasonably priced products. RDNA2 was decent, but lacked FSR to have the leverage covered against DLSS and perhaps a bit better priced (of course, it didn't matter since mining).

RDNA3 wasn't good - 7900xtx looked decent only because 4080 was badly priced and 7900xt was... also badly priced.

Going back @CAT-THE-FIFTH wrote plenty about their not so great track history of doing nvidia type of behavior which can't bring you sympathy points. You can't win internet, brand/marketing points by such actions, you can't truly expect to win against nvidia acting like this.

Why else risk it, the money for AMD lays in consoles and SoC's, not dGPU's, if anything those things are costing them money.

Why would they risk investing in trying to make us buy their cards instead of Nvidia when the money for them is in consoles and Nvidia are doing a damned good job of pushing people that way.
If you're enamy is making a mistake you don't interfere with that.

My strategy:

- Don't buy games until the complete edition is at most 20€

Pros:

- I can play almost anything with an i7-3770k and an RX 590
- By that point the games are as optimized as they will get
- Plenty of user reviews to really make up my mind

Cons:

- LOOONG wait for some titles
- Missing out on newer good stuff
- When I upgrade it's going to be expensive (>2000€)

Well, you've answered the thread question yourself then.

And yet that doesn't explain how games run like crap on ps5 either. Jedi renders at 648p and drops to 17 fps...
