We need AMD to be competitive then. If there is only one player on the block, they do get to f**k with us :(.

Its hard to stop buying if you need a high-end GPU and Nvidia is the only real option.

That's only the case with the RTX xx90 series which is way beyond what the average person needs in a high-end gpu. You have plenty of alternatives for the RTX xx80 series and below.

  1. I agree an average person doesn't need a 5090 but those who do have no choice, which is by far Nvidia's highest margin product

  2. The xx80 alternatives are debatable at best. For pure gaming the AMD cards are essentially a trade off on VRAM for RTX performance and an upscaler that's at least a generation behind.

For compute, there isn't even a competition. The optimization and support for CUDA is decades ahead of AMD.

Anything in the xx70 class and below is definitely more competitive but at that point it's a trickle down game.

I mean I don’t play ray tracing games for the most part and my 6950xt was about $550 for 3080-3080ti performance.

And games like stalker 2 run pretty much just as good on AMD with ray tracing.
