Radeon extremely low market share, only 8% in Q3 2022?

What do you want from AMD to improve, so that makes you buy a Radeon?

"7970Ghz Crossfire gpu usage, 6950/70 stability after core unlocking" those are of your own fault. Just because you had a different experience does not mean those things were not enjoyed. You obviously did not win the Silicon lottery. All of this talk of RT is the narrative and only that. AMD is not in trouble and just because new Games have it does not mean a damn to most people. If you are on a budget what has a better chance of being a better RT experience? A $1200 GPU + PC or a PS5? Please tell me you think a 3050 or 3060 is good for RT.

As I have stated before as much as Youtube trys to paint a picture that AMD is in trouble or brain dead in the GPU department. The 7900XTX is faster than a 3090 in every way but the only thing it gets compared to is the 40 series cards now we have the 4070TI and all of a sudden the 3090 is again a part of the narrative making the 7900XT viable and actually
When you start comparing prices, that by itself proves that amd cant compete. The prices can drop the 7900xtx on the other hand can't get faster. Nvidia dictates amds prices cause they do in fact have a better product. It has nothing to do with marketing
In what way is the 3090 better than the 7900XTX?

Yeah the fact that you are comparing the 7900xtx to the 3090 totally doesnt prove my point...

Don't they cost the same?

No, RTX 3090's price fluctuates between min 1350 and max 4500 euros.
While RX 7900 XTX is around 1200-1300 euros.

RTX 3090 is older, slower and more expensive - the market is flooded with it, I guess no one buys them..

That was the point I was trying to address. The 3090 has not been in the narrative until the 4070TI launched. Now that card is $100-200 more than the 7900XT in Canada. I went to the PC store on Friday and sure enough there were way more AMD cards waiting for pickup vs Nvidia. Then when I went to the GPU section there were plenty of 3060s, 3090s and 6 4070TIs. I spoke to a tech and he told me that the Asus cards had sold out but there was plenty of everything else. He also told me that whenever the 6600s or 6700s go on sale they sell out really quickly but 3060s don't sell as well as 6600s. I feel at the Grassroots AMD is making inroads. There are plenty of people younger than me that want a PS5 but can't get one. With some of the biggest PS Games coming to PC people have suddenly realized that they can build a machine for less than the PS5 and enjoy Horizon Zero Dawn and Spiderman too. Uncharted probably sealed it.

I wrote various issues, not important or breaking ones. I enjoyed all AMD cards apart from the 5700XT and R9 Nano that much due to the noise. Performance wise they were very good.

There are games that may run well on 3060 or AMD cards but in general and in order to see practically the difference that RT makes, you need a 3060Ti/3070. That's the minimum.
My 2080Ti is the minimum as well.

RT shadows or reflections only (with low resolution) or ambient occlusion/GI with 1 light bounce offer nothing to improve the graphics. The prebaked lighting is preferable but you can find it well implemented only in a few AAA titles.

Now I know your a troll.

You didn't answer my points but made sure to classify the 2080Ti as the minimum to use RT.

Why did Nvidia bother with Dlss when it's user's dismiss it's effectiveness.

A 2060 is the minimum technically possible and is also able to do RT in use in games, I get 60fps @1080p in most games with RT with just a few tweaks and compromises but your blinkered.

I can run everything on bar dlss3 and see what I would be enjoying if I bought a 3090Ti, and I am still not bothered, I'm missing little to nothing.

instead of spouting crap, watch this and be educated to the myth your spreading.

-Keep the titles for yourself.

-A 2060 can only technically run RT, not practically. Yes you can barely run 2+ years old games with simple RT effects using DLSS and that's it. Try playing Dying Light 2, CP77 using GI(Ultra/Psycho settings), Atomic Heart when it's released etc.
The 2080Ti is the minimum for the next gen games like Atomic Heart, probably Alan Wake 2, Control 2 etc. Meaning the minimum to actually see a difference in lighting using RT. Not just enable it for shadows or reflections.

The video you attached includes games that has limited rt options or even none. So it's useless.

I stop the discussion here and to stay on topic, the 7900XT/XTX offer a good RT performance but they should cost less.
The 6800/6900 gpus can match the 2080/2080Ti in some games and in others perform way less than that. That's the reason I didn't buy a 6800/6900 but I would buy a 7900 if the price were correct.

Rumor has it that MSI's N31 delay was due to marketing reasons (because they wanted to implemented the same marketing message in 7900XT as they did with 4070Ti):
MSI says GeForce RTX 4070 Ti cost is ‘not as bad as RTX 4080
LOL, just kidding

What same marketing message? Bad pricing?
What about N32 and N33 ? Are they cancelled already ?

Yep, bad pricing.
Cancelled, what are you talking about?
(the message would be then 'buy it before they get cancelled'? lol)
Full N32 (7800XT?) probably will have $649 SRP based on AMD's pricing strategy, but full N33 is still difficult to foresee, it will struggle at $379.

Drivers. They really need to improve drivers. They're worth a lot for someone's first impression of a GPU.

Very bad plan, if true. N32 the same performance as the 2-year-old N21 at the very same price tag ?
It will be DOA and will cause even further decline in reported GFX shipments.

It should be just -10% vs 7900XT at least in QHD (depending also on the frequency that N32 can achieve), so at $650 it isn't so bad (but not good either) still regarding raster it will have +20% performance/price vs 4070Ti, the only way Nvidia will make it obsolete is to release 2 more AD104 based models (one with 80ROPs/216TC/6912 cuda cores with still 12GB but with lower clocks at $699 (-10% vs 4070Ti at 4K, less in QHD) and another one with 64ROPs/184TC/5888 cuda cores with 160bit bus and 10GB memory at $599 (-20% vs 4070Ti at 4K less in QHD) but it's hard to predict what Nvidia will do and AD104 is less than 300mm² so no real need regarding yields to have 3 AD104 based models, so probably the above scenario will not happen.

What on earth are some of these poll options?

  • Significantly decrease the prices! - They are already undercutting in many markets
  • Add maximum mining performance - 2020 talking point...
  • Improve ray-tracing, DLSS, PhysX and/or other proprietary nvidia features - how can they improve Nvidia features, do you mean competing features? might be the most merit in an option yet.
  • Go back to legacy control panel like nvidia's window tab - why go backwards? I have no issues with NVCP, and the radeon one is a bit loud and all over the place (IMO), but theres nothing wrong with it and it would be daft to go backwards.
  • Decrease image quality to be inline with nvidia - this is possibly the silliest thing I've read on this forum in a long time, and that's saying something with the amount of crap takes and non-factual facts people spew out here.
  • Increase the prices even more - ... what?
  • Something else (write it in a comment) - ok, take the top spot, a halo card that's outright the best (and make features a wash, something I'm not convinced of yet), remain sharp on prices, keep issues (especially launch issues) to a minimum, and that'd just about do it.
Upscaling is for people who got greedy in their display choice and didn't have enough money left for a decent graphics card.
Lol, well that's one way to put it I suppose, I got greedy and my 3080 isn't decent enough :p good one :roll:

I think that AMD should lower the prices and become the budget kings like they once were. That's how they got to this position in the first place. Oh and recall all the 7900 XTX's that would be a decent thing to do.

Not all batches suffer, so stop the parroting, and amd cannot afford to drop the price now, it won't make any difference

I think the Minimum requirement for Ray Tracing is the RTX 2070. Even with the RTX 2060 it can work ideally with a few tweaks and DLSS.

Not all batches suffer, so stop the parroting, and amd cannot afford to drop the price now, it won't make any difference
