Exactly how could they do any better than selling out pretty much every one of the cards that they've made? By charging less and selling the exact same number of cards for less money? Math doesn't actually work that way. The ACTUAL reality is that they've ALREADY gotten market share gains. MANY...

The literally thousands of us who have gotten them for $600 (and in my case an overclocked model for $600!) are the proof that $600 IS a avery real price for the 8070 XT. Meanwhile, Micro Center keeps restocking them and STILL hasn't raised the prices of 4 of the 9070XT models from 4 different...

And then the AIB's tell them to get stuffed and switch over to completely Nvidia. Thinking that major corporations will just do what they're told, against their own financial best interests in incredibly naive. AMD needs the AIB's more than the AIB's need AMD. That put them in a weak...

I think that the biggest problem with their system was that they made everyone wait to checkout to pick up their cards, and that took forever! We were watching inside while waiting, and some people took over 10 minutes to check out, which is absurd, with hundreds of people waiting! Either they...

Ok, so I'll relate my experience, if it helps dispel some myths and rumors. Just to be clear, I'm only talking about the 9070 XT models, since I wasn't paying any attention to the non XT ones. I decided fairly last minute that I wanted to upgrade from my 7900 GRE, after watching the reviews. My...

So, a while back, I discovered these fans while researching fans. All I was really looking at was the airflow, and these guys are the kings. So, I bought a bunch of the 4000RPM models for my case and CPU coolers. I originally thought the noise wouldn't be a big deal - until I bought one. I...

Except that AMD has now announced that they're going to be $550 in the US. That's about what I would have fairly expected to pay for the 7800XT if it had been a moderate improvement on the 6800XT, like this is. That seems pretty reasonable, considering the market today. Let's see how much...

Well, it's Feb 28, and the x3d chips are out, and still no drivers on the AMD site.....

Says the guy pretending that needing multiple PCIe slots is some kind of mainstream configuration in 2022! Or that needing more than 4 SATA slots in 2022 is some kind of mainstream configuration. Again, representatives from the motherboard makers have repeatedly polled their users and found that...

Yes, people wanting the latest and fastest technology on a site called techpowerup is absolute madness! So, just to recap. 1) Your personal needs are extremely uncommon, as I pointed out. 2) You seem to think that the rest of us should have to pay more for an excess of old technology features...

Except that they are still giving you four SATA ports. It's not like they're not giving you any SATA ports. If you're buying 22 TB drives, why the heck would you need more than 4 SATA connectors? I have 3 SATA HDD's and a DVD-burner I never use in my system. The 3 HDDs give me a total of...
