Lets face it. Judging by the herd and a nice proportion of people even on here, it doesn't matter what AMD put out as too many people stick with nvidia. You could get a release that is neck and neck in price and spec, games similar framerates but people will still side with nvidia just.. because.
If it wasn't for the mining flexibility AMD would have had a worse time in the last couple of years making sales. They need to improve yes but they cant do miracles, simple stop buying nvidia products if you can do without and you will see the market change.
I hate this line of thinking people put out. "It doesn't matter what AMD put out". For anyone at the high end, AMD have been non existent apart from their 24-month-late-1080ti contender (which ended up being more expensive than a 1080ti).
This is an enthusiast forum where obviously people will gravitate towards the company which caters towards the higher end of gaming with the best experiences.
Why should we stop buying graphics cards with the best performance when we want the best performance? I want 4k gaming and ultrawide 1440p gaming at a decent FPS. I'd like to be able to delve into features like RTX for a window into the next level of lighting engines for AAA games which consoles will probably get in a couple of years time.
Sure Nvidia are charging a premium and to hold off buying Nvidia stock to allow price adjustments is fine.
But I'm not going to stop buying GPUs so AMD can try and play catchup when at every oppurtunity in the GPU side of things, they've looked to take a healthy slice of the pie too despite their products being commonly later, similarly priced and sometimes even inferior.

My next build is an AMD CPU most likely. They've made great strides there and been competitive with pricing, awesome with upgradability and commitment to sockets/platforms. They don't mimic this in GPU land.
The fact AMD got little to no flack for the over priced 24 month too late Radeon VII with god knows how much VRAM which none of us will ever use outside of prosumer applications whilst commanding a high fee is beyond me. Yet this forum is supposedely anti-AMD?
I think most users on this forum are anti-no one and just pro-themselves. We want the best products balancing the line between value and performance whilst remaining fairly cutting edge, whether its resolution, graphical or FPS.
