A missed opportunity in Intel's history.. REAL3D.....I hope history doesn't repeat itself..
I still have the Real3D poster...and i remember the eager wait for the gpus release and the disappointment.....

Intel will either fail or will going to kill nvidia or AMD. There is no room for the third player in the market. Because consumer simply will not going to let that happen. We will have that short three way competition for 10 years. Maybe 15 if we are lucky. Then we most likely going to stuck with another duopoly.

We need a third player no matter what, not sure how anyone can go against that choice

I am not saying this from a fanboy point of view but i'd like intel gpus to succeed so as to be able to find and buy NVIDIA easier and potentially cheaper. I need CUDA, I need the nvenc, so NVIDIA is pretty much the only choice for me. Secondary stuff like better RT perf and DLSS are welcomed but I could do without them if AMD or Intel had CUDA support and just as good an encoder.

Third Player is really needed on the Market, Amd and Nvidia push them selve the Price Range that isnt only mining.

Intel use TSMC for theyr Cards?, good in the next year we will see who take that high prices TSMC or Amd and Nvidia

Why is it we only allowed to select one answer?!
Not sure but it seem whoever wrote this poll has a singleton mind!

I have a feeling that it's gonna be special, so waiting for the reviews coming up should be my best bet. Not too concerned about the drivers stuff, either.
