Surprise, surprise, generating artifical frames is creating fake fps. 🙄
I hope AMD can take a significant market share from NVIDIA while NVIDIA is too busy counting money from the AI bubble
I agree with Steve from Gamer’s Nexus - I think if AMD released the 9070 for $500 instead of matching the 5070 at $550, AMD’s market share would probably double. As it is, we’ll just have to see what the market thinks about $550.
I don’t actually think that’s true. Not because people wouldn’t want it, but rather because yields are good enough that there won’t actually be many 9070s (which is a cut down and lower clocked die).
That’s fair. More 9070 XTs for me!
Let’s face it, Nvidia doesn’t care if you buy a gaming card or not right now. You can complain, but they can’t hear you over their money counting machines.
Nvidia is only selling enough gaming cards to keep their market share from falling too low. All the rest of their silicon is allocated towards data center.
Enough stock to still be in the consumer market but just restrictive enough to encourage predatory pricing. Yay!
It’s even worse for Europe. Prices start at €800 (~$866), making any talk about ‘MSRP-to-performance-ratio’ absolutely pointless.
Even the 9070XT was launched recently and after 30ish minutes, minimum prices went from €695 to €924 (~$1,001) in my country.
Fuck the GPU market.
As someone who preordered it, is CP2077 really a valid mechanism for performance testing?
Now? Yes, definitely. It’s not at all the same game as it was at launch.
