Encouraging but don’t think Nvidia will be too worried. AMD would have to keep repeating sales increases like that gen on gen on gen on gen……..

I look at it that nvidia have helped sell them more than anything.

Yes, of course the whole thing is a conspiracy. use your own time to dig through HUB's back catalogue to be part of said conspiracy.

Not really quoting the correct post - but my response was about the VRAM but I didn't want to flick back and find the correct one.

I didn't think it was so much NVidia reducing the LoD, but more the games themselves. I seem to recall Hogwarts, Forspoken and Halo all having detail issues with lower capacity VRAM cards (i.e. 8GB). I did have a quick search for the video because I seem to recall one too, but couldn't find it. I did stumble across this brief comparison of 8gb/16gb on the 4060ti

Nvidia still selling 5 cards to every 1 AMD card even with outragerous prices and 0 stock lol

Problem with that graph is it shows AMD gaining market share in a very small period of time. The same period Nvidia have, by all accounts, had nothing to sell.

5070ti is basically 4080s performance. Leaks suggest the 9070xt is pushing 4080 performance. AMD if they are serious will price the xt max $599 vs $750 ti msrp.

Hardly any difference between 4080 and 4080 super
Also RT hardly improved so although AMD wont beat it but might really close up the gap

I can see why the 7900XTX has become a lot more popular suddenly.

Must be why people were buying 7900XTX's for $800.

Power draw aside, what a deal that was.

Yup, got mine for £800 back in August 2023. Very happy with it.

Tbh if Nvidia had released the 5080 in decent supply and at the MSRP it wouldn't have been in demand at all

Yeah but they managed neither of those.

depends on your needs 84 Vs 91 FPS, are you gonna see that on the screen ?! 5080 was crippled to make room for the 5080 super.I can see AMDs point about a potential 9090XTX , I am not sure it would be fast enough to tempt people for an upgrade over the 7900XTX and the games just aren't there to justify it.

Maybe this is all some weirdo 666D chess move by Jensen then?

 

[Sargatanas2511]

This whole "5080 was crippled intentionally" stuff is complete nonsense. The 5080 is made up of an entire 100% GB203 die. If they want to make a faster 5080 they will need to use the same die as the 5090 (GB202) which they won't want to do cause they will make far more money using the dies for basically anything else.

Ignoring these are £900/£1000 card the 7900XTX is a good buy if all you care about is rasterization it can give the 4090 a run for it's money but if I'm paying that much for a video card (I wouldn't) I'm expecting to run games at max settings with ray tracing at which point the performance of XTX falls of a cliff.

espeically RT is now required in some games, can't be disabled.

This is how people end up buying a 5080 and then end up in the 5080 super pre-order thread.

It's a slippery slope bud, we are here to help.

I have my 7900XTX and am very happy so don't worry about me!

Amd only needs decent supply to gain share vs non-existent nvidia cards.

Agreed. Because people these days have such low patience and short attention span, they won't wait for NVIDIA to arrive in stock (weeks/months potentially!) and price doesn't seem to be the main drive anymore, so they might just jump on what's available, just to have something. In such case, AMD might win heavily this time, but we'll see.

I mean lets be real for a second... the only reason AMD are outselling Nvidia are because Nvidia doesn't have any stock and AMD does.... the second they do they will outsell AMD 10 to 1
