I understand why he is confident. AMD is no treat at all. AMD needs to take that money that they would give to companies for optimisation, and marketing, and free coffe for workers, and create one uber mental GPU and just bump it on the market. No announcements, no marketing. Just come one day and say here is our GPU and it destroys the green team. Then we would have proper competition. Until that day nVidia will rule like they have ruled all this years, and AMD would just get scraps at the lower end market. Even with their "new" RX 500 cards they are not worth buying.
Well I don't think it is. Yes you get 2GB more memory on RX than 1060 but at 1080p (which is the resolution for this cards), it doesn't make a difference. 1060 is 20-30 euro/dollar/pound more but you get cooler card, way more efficient card considering power draw, works better on most games, and you get PhysX which is lovely on games that support it.
When will they announce the GeForce parts you think? Come summer maybe? Or much closer to the end of the year?
IMO, the problem for AMD is that Ryzen is better in production, but worse or on par in gaming.
And for most people gaming is all that matters. It's a booming business.
But there is no reason to upgrade from 2-3 year old intel hardware, it's better to get a better GPU. And if VEGA is "only" 1070/1080 class, then they lose in my book. Those cards are 1 year old by now.
But according to steam 95% game at 1080 or below
I think we agree. My point were, that if they want to lure people into shifting, they needed benchmarks showing they were better than Intel. And with lower clock speeds, that's not the case![]()
