AMD is Taking Time with Radeon RX 9000 to Optimize Software and FSR 4

Easy to say as we pick one up off the shelf (or click a button). If people could see germs...

It's an easy pick - whichever one serves your needs better and gives you the most bang for your buck. Problems arise when you start to see the world in red or green.

The story of the king and the green tinted glasses comes to mind! (which might have saved some people some money)

I really hope the 9070XT knocks it out of the part (relatively), I have some friends waiting desperately to upgrade their GPUs instead of picking up RDNA3. Otherwise they would've waited this long for nothing.

Unrelated but I am a little tired of the tribalism nonsense in every single thread about the recent GPU releases, in particular the AMD threads. Yes, some AMD users are doing the same thing in Nvidia threads but the ratio seems to be heavily in one direction.

I don't understand the desire to see the competition fail and I don't understand the need to poo-poo on people's purchases like they're "doing it wrong". I'm glad you like your Nvidia cards but an Nvidia monopoly is not going to be the gaming utopia some of you seem to think it will be.

In summary, give it a rest, sheesh.

Finally someone outside of "the AMD hardcore circle" noticed!

It's enough to look at the 5080 to see where an Nvidia monopoly leads: 2-3x MSRP scalped prices, artificial supply shortage and zero gen on gen performance increase. Have at it, lads! I hope you're ready for the $10k 6070.

Next generation AI-driven rendering and a price tag too good to be true do not belie the concerns Nvidia's RTX 50 Series GPUs have sparked.

Optimize price too?
