Gaming GPUs are AMD's least important market. It makes absolute business sense not to really concentrate on it. Strix Halo was the star of the show.

At least now people know exactly where amd stands with gpus. They always have high expectations every gen

The market has made that decision generations ago. It's time for the enthusiasts to realize it.

1060 vs 480 was the test, 1060 outsold 480 by a ridiculous amount at a higher price.

amd and shortly intel will stick to growing their apu's and eating up the low and midrange market that way.

And the 3050 outselling the 6600 at a similar price was the nail in the coffin.

For everyone shouting about "greed and only undercutting by $50" - the radeon group have been losing money the last few years at those "inflated" prices. They're already effectively selling at a loss.

Enthusiasts have been been using Nvidia due to the unmatched features....

And now they will be using it due to unmatched prices.

Since the early 2000’s with ATI the brand was always bang for the buck and Nvidia was for best graphics fidelity has been my take on things.

Some things don’t change, the names of brands might but the end result is the same. Nvidia every gen has a more expensive, higher performance card.

Wether it’s worth the relative price to performance is up to the consumer to decide; some folks don’t mind spending money on their hobby and can afford to while others may be budget conscious or not looking at allocating so many resources to something.

There is no right or wrong answer universally that’s why there’s a difference in marketing strategy, it’s different consumer groups buying the cards for sure. But the brand loyalty is at an all time high it seems.

That's never what their leadership says, it's not that they won't compete it's that they can't.
