Yeah, we're pc part nerds. We upgrade much more often than the average person.

Since we are on the same page now as similar consumers. Where is the value in the current GPU market?

Can you elaborate? When you say where is the value, what precisely do you mean? Are you asking what company in which there is the most value? Are you asking if there any value at all in the industry itself?

Entire GPU markets pricing to the type of customer theyre targeting.

I think they're targeting entities that will buy in bulk, either crypto mining or companies/groups pushing AI development

Exactly. Which is massively driving up prices from overwhelming demand. Resulting in continued low stock for the general non-enterprise buyer where the price will never decrease.

I poorly replied to your last question. Pc gamer that AMD are targeting with this launch. What type of GPU do you think they are replacing?

5070? Ti? I don't know. I'm a retard

Pre-Covid release GPU or one of those horrible GPU's Nvidia put out during/post Covid.

They're targeting midrange, the largest segment. PC gamers don't update cards every few years, that's really rare.

You're working backwards here, 9070 specs would have been locked in about 2 years ago.

AMDs most successful GPUs in the US have bt far been what PC gamers would consider entry level, RX 7600 and before that RX 6700.

For context, AMDs highest selling models in the past couple years for US has been whatever GPU goes into Cyberpower's previous at Walmart. Not even close.

The 9070XT is a great deal. I don't know what sort of dope you're smoking, but you should lay off it.

Its a top of the line GPU if it were released 4-1/2 years ago. That retails under Nvidias current day price to performance structure.

They did win, NVIDIA also won, cause they sold everything, the only ones losing here were the people expecting to get an affordable GPU lol

To quote Gamers Nexus;

This is like when AMD's other now former executive after seeing Nvidias prices for a prior GPU launch. That AMD as part of grand strategy 6D chess move against Nvidia quote "jebaited" Nvidia. When in fact what we think happened AMD just like this time saw the Nvidia prices, and fucking panicked. And they dropped them and then tried to retcon it into some kind of marketing strategy. AMD when you do this shit your fucking yourselves over. Stop doing this!

Gamers Nexus very next point:

AMD continually riles up and plays into this tribalistic mentality of pitting fans of two companies against each other. But then we think its using Nvidia as a shield to do the same shit!

I'll take my victory lap now, lol:

Since this website hasnt loaded for me in the past month i'll make this quick. The 9070XT performance results are bad. Its basically a mid-tier Nvidia 3000 for $600 in 2025. When the 3070 cost around $500 in November of 2022.

Only users who should be buying this are those on 2000 series and lower Nvidia GPU's. However those who will primarily be buying this are ones who buy useless GPU's like the 3050.

These are game performance results in unoptimized games using obsolete Nvidia skus that when released were bad values and products.

Given inflation the 9070XT is a $400 GPU, not $600.

You have become the laughingstock of this forum over the past week. Nobody is going to take your opinion about hardware seriously again. Your fanboyism wasn't about supply issues at all, originally. You were disparaging the card based on its MSRP.

 

[KaNesDeath]

You were disparaging the card based on its MSRP.

Where its still overpriced.

This cudgel of me being a Nvidia fanboy is demonstrably misguided. Its flailing to re-characterize a billion dollar company trying chasing a trillion dollar company.

If i were such a Nvidia fanboy. Why am i using a two generation old Nvidia mid-tier GPU?

 

[Madmick]

[KaNesDeath]

For once in your life, view my posts here not under your perceived perception of me being a fanboy towards a specific company. An forgo the meme'ing and belittling replies to realize your own stubbornness of redirecting the topic since you didnt post about it first.

Best Buy Canada goofed and posted some RTX 5060 prebuilds early. Mid-June release date for the card, price is the same or slightly less judging by the price increases. Nothing earth shattering.

Looks like AMD has figured out how to match game performance in 8+ core X3D CPU's to their 8 core X3D CPU variant.
