Sell the 7900xt 150 dollar cheaper and ill buy it,even having a 4070ti allready.
I mean whats the point? We had the GPU rush then the die off. I don't know how you justify new gpu's unless they are lower cost and lower tdp even then idk how well you motivate people to replace current cards for that. Like about only use case is work or modded skyrim since otherwise nothing is gonna merit newer cards.
best intro music ever
I didn’t check other comments if someone already pointed it out – but at 3:25 graph you’re comparing AMD Q4 22 with Nvidia Q4 23 (prob estimate), while Q4 22 is much higher. Not really apples to apples isn’t it?
I was in my local Canada Computers today.
they have a lot of RTX4000 in shelf.
from the 4070ti to 4090, and a lot of each one (50 to 60 cards)
no XTX but a couple of XT and ARC.
so everybody is waiting for a price drop.
what a difference compared to previous years when the same spots were empty for months.
oh no, Lisa is going after Jensen's leather jacket collection
3:00 I never thought to compare them. I literally just assumed. Great work, thanks so much for breaking my bias.
2/26 update.
4090's @ MSRP by the thousands in a country 1/10th the size of USA. Available now, restocking regularly, no end in sight.
Its all much simpler than this, AMD CANNOT gain market share, they are incapable of performing this risk, its been well documented and history proves it.
Intel is still Intel's biggest and only enemy, AMD always has been, and always will be irrelevant, they will be billionaires in the future as much as they have been for dozens of years.
Go play some games people. its slow news time and he's scraping the bottom of the barrel here, with the usual self pandering and propping.
I view gaming consoles in the same way I view intel integrated graphics. A bit apples to oranges, but so is clumping discrete and integrated for AMD.
"Drop your prices AMD"
well see i fell like these companys would rather dump cards into the ocean than give a good value to gamers
ALL CAPS HERE!!
I don't think comparing the Steam survey to sales really makes a lot of sense. They measure to different things, the Steam survey measure (well, tries badly to measure) the deployed GPUs that's not the same as the GPUs being sold. Even if you remove all non-discrete GPUs from those numbers it's going to include the older discrete GPUs that haven't "attritioned out" yet. It may take a decade for a swing in the market share to be properly reflected in the installed base (not to mention the OTHER flaws in using the Steam survey).
Where the Steam survay is useful, and what I think it's really made for, is to tell game developers what users are using. A developer deciding what to target doesn't care if it's 20 different people are using the same 1060, or 20 different 1060s. In either case it's 20 potential customers.
To be clear I don't think this video is falling into that trap, I just wanted to make a stronger case for why using the Steam survey like that is flawed.
Fuck amd, they had their chance but in the end they are just as greedy as nvidia
I am probably talking out of my arse, but I feel like since Turing, a GPU has been a difficult sell for gaming-only use. When you're spending $500 plus on a single component, you want it to do multiple things. Radeon graphics just doesn't come close to competing in productivty tasks, like 3D rendering, game development, video editing, etc. I fucking loathe Nvidia and their business practices in the past 6 or 7 years, but there's no way I can buy an AMD card when the high end won't be half as good as the mid-range Nvidia card at rendering.
I have had an AMD card in my system since June 2020 and been on Steam and never been asked to take part in the Steam Survey.
well, if they want market share, they'll have to launch the 7600XT on desktop for 299$
Steam hardware survey is done monthly and it is not mandatory so it is not a good indication of market share.
I'd say AMD would be shooting themselves in the foot if they don't start making an affordable graphics card for the masses. Although I'm not saying the Steam survey is very accurate I do think it demonstrates the main problem, that is that NVIDIA's sales are dwarfing AMDs when it comes to numbers.
All I'm hearing around and me and seeing online is people that only have interest in AMDs cards to see what they'll do to NVIDIA's pricing. They're not even seriously considering an AMD card, they just want the company to exist because at some level they realize NVIDIA's prices are too high.
The less market share they have, the less game developers will pay attention to them, the worse the performance gets, the less market share they gain ad infinitum. The reputation for supposedly having terrible drivers keeps haunting them as well (they're fine, really!), then to make it worse they recently neglected the older drivers for a little bit to work on the 7000 series drivers. That to me signals that they have enough people on working on their drivers and need to invest there. But why invest when they have a tiny market share?
The other problem for AMD if they want to keep selling graphics cards is that by only releasing expensive cards as both sides have done is that the total market shrinks. Eventually this will lead to PC gaming disappearing. The newer generations don't even know how to use PCs anymore, they grow up with a mobile phone in their hand and don't look further than that, if they do it's often towards a console. Not entirely awful for AMD I suppose given the current situation, but that's a risky market they'd be entirely dependent on Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft. NVIDIA focusing their efforts there could push AMD completely out the market.
It's the perfect time to try and get market share now, there's still a huge group of people wanting an upgrade hanging to their GTX 1060s/1660's (and to a lesser degree RX 480/580s) that would definitely go for an upgrade if there was actually one. The only thing released in that price range for over half a decade now was the terrible terrible RX 6500 XT which wasn't even an upgrade to those cards!
I'll make this a really simple list:
– AMD needs to increase their market share
– TSMC needs someone to buy their freed up production capabilities (from customers downscaling their orders, because: recession)
– People that buy in the $200-250 range have been ignored by both NVIDIA and AMD for ages (historically the entry point for most gamers)
– This market will be bigger than ever due to the recession
It's the perfect storm
existence
if they want to go for marketshare, then rdna 3 should have been a better product. at least in my eyes. the power consumption and scaling is terrible and worse then rdna2. when it comes to mindshare or overall marketing on amds is that they switched so often. from high end and competitve prices to nvidia, to midrange only with low prices and no interest in high end solution, back to high end with high prices even on the low end spectrum
i wish i had asian cougar milf dominatrix gpu gf 😢
I see AMD has the console market…and a moderate amount of desktop GPUs. Shame AMD had their heads jammed strait up their …nm… on the 7900xt/xtx launch. Maybe ill get one of their cards next time I am due for an upgrade…in like 4 years.
This situation is good for amd, if they can sell more consoles they be more than happy.
Pricing does jack for amd with xt and xtx, ppl aren't buying them out of low software and feature support.
Amd already had to take down a driver update our of adrenalin recommended branch few weeks ago.
Either way nvidia is still the king. They have less products and sell those products for more. They must be doing something right even if they are greedy. AMDs problem is they are the problem.
Early summer is way too late to fix a product that was launched last December. AMD really needs to get serious if they intent to compete. RDNA 3 loses badly in both energy efficiency and ray tracing, but is priced only $100 to 200 bucks less.
