Not cheap enough given the disparity in features. Techspot themselves say this.This is just complete and utter nonsense. The 7900 XTX matches the 4080 but is priced $200 lower ($900 vs $1100). The 7800 XT matches the 4070 but is priced $100 lower ($500 vs $600). The 6700 XT (not replaced by a 7000 model yet) matches the 4060 Ti but is priced $80 lower ($320 vs $400) and crucially comes with 4 GB more VRAM (12 GB vs 8 GB) on top of that. The 7600 matches the 4060 but is priced $40 lower ($240 vs $280). AMD consistently prices their products lower than Nvidia's counterparts.
Halo products sell a whole line up. Nvidia's features are the best, this is objectively true.Halo products are an minuscule, insignificant part of the market, and are completely irrelevant to the vast overwhelming majority of GPU customers.
Looking at the Steam survey, halo products account for less than 1% of the GPU market, while mainstream products in the ~$200 to ~$500 range completely dominate the chart. In this segment, AMD and Intel GPUs are priced strongly, and Nvidia's products are by far the worst value of the bunch (despite, sadly, being most of the marketshare, as most buyers are not tech savvy).
Attempted gatekeeping of SAM to certain generations"My source is that I made it up!"
Attempted locking out of ryzen 5000 from 300 series chipsets
f*ckery with blocking or otherwise heavily disincentivising competitor upscaling in sponsored games, despite having the worst solution. Yeah I don't care it's not proven in a court of law, AMD are/were doing F*ckery.
Been lots of backlash against these alone, which achieved action, which is nice.
Am I here saying they're perfect? I'm saying they innovate, and AMD is far from perfect.Nvidia literally just launched the worst value GPU series of their entire 3 decades of existance. That was much, much bigger than a "miss-step".
I'm used to AMD defense, Nvidia hate, and the likes swinging a certain way, doesn't phase me, I say what I come to say.
At the end of the day, I'm not here to convince you, or the other vocal members that make up an exceedingly small and disproportionately loud minority, you won't change your mind, but uninformed buyers need balance. I'm here to provide balance, among other things.
