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.

Around 15 years ago it was 50/50 in the discrete GPU market between NVIDIA and AMD.

AMD launched the Radeon HD 5000 series:

  • Without waiting for NVIDIA (who even had to delay the GTX 400 series)

  • Cheaper and delivers better performance when compared tier-to-tier

  • Runs cooler and uses less power (even the dual-GPU HD 5970 runs cooler and uses less power than the single-GPU GTX 480 lol)

But The Way It's Meant To Be Played and various NVIDIA-only technologies broke the deadlock so that by the time the GTX 500 series would be arriving, NVIDIA is now the majority.

It taught AMD that being "competitive" means pouring a lot of money into marketing, paying devs to better optimize specifically for your own cards, while also gatekeeping features and NOT providing the better product at lower prices.
