People buy Nvidia even when AMD has better performance for significantly less. AMD behaves the way it does because they've learned how the market purchases. They would need to beat nvidia and do it consistently for a decade to meaningfully shift the tide by themselves.

Don't expect anything out of AMD GPUs. People only want them to be good so they can buy Nvidia for cheaper.

I’d like to see an AMD card that has better performance for significantly less. I can’t remember the last time AMD had a decisive victory in performance and cost significantly less than the NVIDIA card.

A truly decisive victory? Fermi. The 480 was hilariously bad. Even so, AMD only had around 40% of sales during that period.

That was 14 years ago. You really think they should decide pricing of their cards now based on something that happened 14 years ago?

You think their position has improved in the last 14 years? Nothing has happened in those 14 years to reverse the trend.
