you are basically praising AMD then ....
that's so nice, since technically the card that get over them in nearly anything that they are not designed for (dominating gaming) are way cheaper than the one they designated to do anything else the prior can't do (not dominating gaming) too bad they gimped the Titan XP ... since now it's just a "overpriced gaming dominator" instead of a "prosumer" card ...
There's really no such thing as "prosumer card". It's just a 2x2 matrix of possible scenarios:
1) You either use a card for gaming or for productivity/computation.
2) You either use it for profit or with no profit in mind.
This "prosumer" nonsense is really pretty boring by now. You can sense that it's made up by 30-year-olds that want to get powerful gaming PCs, but feel embarrassed for spending so much.
The thing I like about NVIDIA is that they make cards for gaming and cards for professional use - 2 very well separated groups.
And, because they know what they want to make, they succeed: they make the most powerful products in both segments. And the most efficient. And, coincidentally, the best selling (by far).
Sure, you can game on Quadro M6000 and you can solve PDE on an MSI 1050 Gaming (really, I've checked both!), but you know what to expect and what these cards were made for - what they'll be really good at.
AMD is trying to make "universal" products. They (usually) make good gaming cards that are best at calculations and mining. They make good pro cards that hardly anyone buys (apart from Mac Pro owners).
I'm sure many gamers buy AMD cards with the idea that "they'll do some serious stuff now!" but these plans end up as participating in WCG or something like that. Or, most likely, nothing. You know... this is another topic in which I see praise for Vega's FP16 performance from people that don't seem to understand what FP16 means.
Here's the inevitable car analogy. For me NVIDIA is like a refined manufacturer: doing great cars for consumers and for professionals. Think: Mercedes. Yes, you can carry potatoes in an S-class or take your children to school in a Sprinter, but you can feel that this is not what they're best at.
AMD is like... well... like this:
And this is all very sad for me. I really liked the old days when Intel and AMD were making similar products. When the choice was down to refinement/robustness, not the whole philosophy...
