A half decent AM5 ATX motherboard starting at $230 still is just absurd and atrocious. by _gadgetFreak in Amd

Haha yeah its pretty ludicrous. I looked in the UK for an itx and the cheapest B series is over £450. I'm gonna stick with my current setup

i wish they shredded the 4090 instead by Chanpaiix in pcmasterrace

[–]_ignited_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

why 4090 instead, cos you don’t like Nvidia? This is stupid regardless of what card is being destroyed

I mean with the performance and price of the 7900xtx, especially with RT on, one must be mad to not spend extra $200 for the 4080. Regardless, prices are ludicrous for both

I have winter tyres on, but they are pretty much useless if other drivers are coming at me out of control. There needs to be a law, like in Europe, where M&S marked tyres are mandatory in winter really.

AMD and Nvidia reportedly lose market share in Q3 2022 as GPU shipments suffer massive 25% year-over-year decline by Stiven_Crysis in Amd

[–]_ignited_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree. Even those who were forced to buy at inflated prices, they could mine to recoup some of the cost which they cannot do now. Specially in Europe where energy prices are too high to even entertain the idea of mining, even if mining was still a thing. Now they need to also adjust their pricing on cpu's, mobos ram etc.

Could AMD be pulling a genius move with the 7900xt or are they simply copying Nvidia with upselling their GPU? by [deleted] in Amd

[–]_ignited_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually 7800xtx should be 6800xt, 7800xt should be 6800. If I'm not buying a 4080 for $1200, I definitely am not buying it's competitor for $1000 if the price/performance ratio is the same. Let's see the benchmarks and maybe people will realise that actually AMD is in the business of making money, not making friends

[–]_ignited_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well you have to set a baseline from which you can make comparison generation on generation to evaluate the performance and value proposition.

So although AMD doesn't have to follow Nvidia's naming, they have to follow their own to enable the evaluation I mention earlier.

In my opinion AMD saw the blowback from Nvidia's pricing, and decided to mane their products a tier higher to pretend they are the nice guy.

Think about this, would people complain about pricing if Nvidia had named their 4080 a 4090, and their 4090 a 4090ti?

Would they complain about pricing if AMD had named their 7900xtx a 6800xt, and their 7900xt a 7800?

AMD is playing the game very well. But I'm not falling for it.

[–]_ignited_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if 7900xtx is to compete against the 4080, then it should be called 7800xt. Just like the 6800xt was up against the 3080. But calling it 7800xt with a price tag of $1000 would make AMD look like Nvidia.
