RDNA 3 rumours Q3/4 2022

Not enough to make AMD give a 40% discount, outside of these forums 95% of gamers won't know what RT and upscaling are...

You're completely right, I admit that I completely forgot about the huge number of non-gamers who don't know what RT and upscaling are but will happily spend over a month's wages on a GPU

:rolleyes:

What other option does AMD have if nobody buys their GPUs? Their CPUs have been propping them up but sales seem to have dried up lately.

If they don't get some new revenue soon their earnings reports are going to be brutal and their stock will get smashed.

They don't seem too concerned.

Why don't NV do that then?
A good question.
I think it's a combination of them actually being able to shift a lot more than 1,000 at the high price and while the fixed costs of design and tapeout etc. might mean that the top chip takes a while to make a profit, Nvidia are also trying to maintain their "premium" brand and setting a high price for their halo part makes sense for them

I'm not doubting that costs have gone up, but for far too long AMD have released cards with prices which simply do not look like they care about increasing their <20% marketshare. While 7nm wafers were tight that might have made sense but what about before that when HBM2 was too expensive etc. N33 at least looks like it is design for high volume.

Yes, margins are nice but with such high fixed costs, volume matters a lot.

At last! some common sense, this is what I have been saying for years judging on how AMD goes about things in this sector. They are not trying to compete, they are not concerned with NV's time-table, they are simply playing their own game.

Slightly slower, slightly cheaper - either buy or don't, we don't really care. Their focus is elsewhere. I'd actually categorise AMD's approach in this sector as "Maintaining a presence".
 
I was referring to the UK average salary, which is ~£1,800

Why would someone buy an AMD card over an Nvidia card if they both cost the same, but the Nvidia card is significantly better/more feature rich?

Again if that's your salary, you can't afford to spend that much on a GPU, especially not today.

Why should AMD sell a competitve product 40% cheaper?

In which case all your talk of profit margins, and keeping shareholders happy is irrelevant. They either care about making money and keeping shareholders happy (in which case lowering prices could potentially increase profit), or they don't, so which is it?

I'm not sure why you're banging on about my salary now, as it bears no relevance to the discussion - I assume it's an attempt at an ad hominem to discredit me since your argument bears no weight :(

The fact they only have 20% of the market vs Nvidia's 80% would suggest it's not actually that competitive.

You've been given an answer to that question several times (to increase profits & market share), but clearly you've got no interest in actually accepting any answer in good faith, since you continue to ignore the responses or come up with elaborate excuses as to why it's apparently not a valid answer, so good luck to you.

You hear very little through walls, and if you do there is heavy filtering of higher frequencies.
Please inform both my neighbours and the birds in the tree at the end of the garden - I can hear both without any of our windows open. :p
Most of the sound you hear from other rooms has bounced around corners, down corridors. Raytraced audio lets you do that accurately.
Agreed.
Your brain uses audible cues with a really high weighting, it's super important for immersive gameplay. The thing is, very few people are concious of it, and a game just feels a bit flat when the audio isn't right.
Also agreed. I was annoyed when AMDs truaudio didn't really go anywhere because audio does seem to have been forgotten.

I'm not disagreeing with you that most sound comes from reflection off surfaces, but to say you hear very little through a wall is too broad - it'll all depend on the wall and its ability to dampen sound.
 
So why shouldn't NV be charging the prices you want?
Nvidia and AMD can charge what they want. That doesn't mean I will buy it.

Nvidia has charged what they want and I want those GPUs to rot on the shelf till they price them more sensibly. If AMD follows Nvidia's lead then I will wish them the exact same.

This generation, the company that gets my money is the one who delivers good performance at a fair value. Or some miner on ebay if both companies mess up.

"Especially" is spelt this way...

^... what you said before deleting it... You sound like the above videos... Seriously wake up to what is really happening... Prices and wages of even basic goods and paying bills are at an all time bad.. People have less money in their pockets now no matter their job, only people rolling in money are this government people scamming our taxes into their pockets. Remember the lettuce ? Well she made things even worse in less than a week of her doing her real job and not on holiday and events. :rolleyes:

Oh they are very concerned that's for sure.

Your reading comprehension skills are severely lacking it seems.

To think that me saying that if you're earning average salary then you can't afford a 1K GPU is somehow a defence of current pricing...or a re-run of "get a better job" is a quite increible fail on your part. No-one is defending current pricing you buffoon! NO-ONE -Read my sig! - Clearly someone earning average salary should not be priced out of gaming or have to struggle to eat properly or heat their homes...

How you can conflate these two things is remarkable!

Schooled AT ALL????

Obviously you're reduced to picking on rushed typo's as you have no counter-argument but that's par for the course round here...

This is the stupidest response I have received so far today and that's saying something!

:cry:

And all this because I had the temerity to state that AMD should not have to price a competitive product 40% cheaper than their rival...a total forum meltdown!

:D
