yet to experience that have build on windows 11 with the 5700xt also have system with 3080 no issues either

if you google can find people with issues on nvidia doesnt mean its wide spread, I think its becoming a myth for people who havent used AMD

I suspect, and have seen admissions, that a lot of the problems are down to users not knowing what they are doing. I've always kept my BIOS, chipset and OS up-to-date and you know what? No major issues, very few minor ones either. There are also people like the Win7 holdouts or bleeding edge tinkerers who will obviously get issues. Any idiot can buy a PC, they sold one to me... :cry:

I’ll be amazed if the top card is much less than $1499 to be honest.

Nvidia gave them a massive opening to charge pretty much what they want, and they aren’t above rinsing the consumer for all they have. They know the top end isn’t particularly price sensitive.

What will be interesting is if they have anything at 7800/7900 non XTX levels at under a grand…

Not true as was seen with the $2000 3090ti that ended up almost half the price for the FE model as people were not going to be taken for a $2k ride. Once the FOMO crowd has been used up and normally first 2-4 weeks the sales fall off a cliff as we saw.

I buy high end and not willing to pay double what they are really worth anymore and especially in times with no world issues, 30 series was another matter and really needed an update and the world was a mess then, there is no excuses now for the silly pricing of high end as we are seeing now, they will soon come down as what happened to the 3090ti the market can't sustain such prices and as we have seen 4090s are sat in stock everywhere and have been since day one, reason being the price is not acceptable for them in this time and age and shortages are a thing of the past now too.

People also don't want to have to pay out for a new PSU. If AMD come up with something close to the 4090, at 350w, and charge a bit less, that's a pretty decent result.

Certainly hope so.

I grabbed a 3090FE shortly after launch but I can’t see myself spending more than that again on a GPU… I only spent that much in the first place because I couldn’t get a 3080 for less than a 3090FE anyway.

For now though 4090FE is blink and miss it, even at the absurd msrp. Some of the other 4090’s do seem to be hanging around a little so hopefully demand will fall off a cliff at that price level as you say.

They lost marketshare last time around with comparable products at comparable prices so maybe it's time for a different approach.

Not quite, they lost because there was no way to get their products at MSRP whereas it was possible (incredibly difficult but possible) to get a 3080 at £650 which was overall a better product than the 6800XT and cheaper (due to them having no UK outlet so all AMD cards were marked up by £200+) with better features (RT, DLSS 2.0).
The extra RAM on the 6800XT didn't make a perceivable difference so it was slightly worse products at a higher/slightly higher price (OK the 6900XT was better priced than the 3090 but again not as well featured and with less RAM) so there was no sensible reason for choosing AMD.
I know AIB cards from Nvidia were hugely over priced due to the mining boom but the enthusiasts in this thread seemed to get their hands on Nvidia at or about at RRP cards with telegram or however and many made very good money reselling them. The brand agnostic enthusiasts in this thread pretty much all chose Nvidia and that wasn't due to bias or liking Jensen's jacket.

Tinkerers = 95% of driver issues.

What about the black screen issues with Windows 11, they had to fix it, AMD are notorious for black screen issues.

I can remember them from way back in the mists of time but haven't owned an AMD card since 2015. I'm just parroting the feedback here but I certainly wouldn't be concerned about buying AMD on the basis of drivers.
