you know funny thing

frigid stag
#

You could boot up a 15 year old game and it’ll just run

hoary zodiac
#

there's a quote from GN's latest video

wise wigeon
#

think i got my brother's xfx 6800 for like 360

hoary zodiac
#

people used to buy nvidia because they were the "just works" option

opaque sedge
#

I ordered the new tmr joystick controller but missed the batch that had next day shipping 💀 had i ordered an hour earlier i would have had it in my hands today

hoary zodiac
#

that's not the case anymore

#

GN said this btw

frigid stag
#

Apart from no physx they’re fine

wise wigeon
hoary zodiac
#

uh

#

what

#

excuse me?

mortal grail
#

My favourite comment of this launch "Nvidia could burn your house down at this point and people will still never pick AMD"

wise wigeon
frigid stag
#

I can bet u half my bank account I can buy a 5080 rn and it would be fine without any issues

mortal grail
frigid stag
#

Aside from no physx obv but I can deal with that. I can run a 2nd gpu

wise wigeon
#

but no we're talking blackscreen and rops issues mostly

mortal grail
frigid stag
#

I play older games sometimes but haven’t needed physx in any of them in years

mortal grail
#

Or yeah

#

Missing rops

frigid stag
#

Last physx game I played was probably 9 years ago

mortal grail
#

Black screens

#

RMA availability

#

Availability period

frigid stag
#

It’s overblown like most things

mortal grail
#

Starting prices over 2x

wise wigeon
mortal grail
frigid stag
#

I mean I can pre order one for non extortionate prices so

mortal grail
#

Imagine AMD did proper balancing

devout forum
#

Cuz nGreedAI is outright scarcity market

frigid stag
wise wigeon
frigid stag
#

I’ll probably forget I ordered one by the time it arrives

devout forum
#

The GPUs exist
But it makes more money for nvidia if you can't buy it

mortal grail
wise wigeon
wise wigeon
#

if i could get a 70 ti for 750-800 i would but thats not in the cards rn

frigid stag
#

Well it’s arriving 1 month later so it makes sense why it’s cheaper than usual prices

frigid stag
#

If I were to get one right now as in next day delivery I’d probably need to pay at least 1500 to 1600

wise wigeon
#

i mean i been waiting 2+ weeks on this xtx

frigid stag
#

😦

wise wigeon
#

@mortal grail bruh

#

i cant believe they started that promotion literally the day after amazon charged me

#

apparently GN talked to amd people and they have no idea how to price the cards

#

HOWWWW

#

you've had 2 months

unreal chasm
#

Yes I reinstalled newest drivers for it

mortal grail
#

Can't find the pcb

#

Deadinside

mortal grail
wise wigeon
#

how is it a day or 2 bfore announcement ya'll still dunno what price you want

mortal grail
mortal grail
#

I'm not surprised

#

They'll do this until the launch day

#

Lol

wise wigeon
#

if they fumble again i won't be surprised

#

but like its the fumble of the decade at least

mortal grail
#

Mentioned this before

#

If they slip up this time, that's it

#

I don't think they'll give us another gen

mortal grail

#

Now I want $4,985.99

hoary zodiac
#

They're probably closer to the Hohenzollerns tbh

#

Or the Bourbons

#

Actually Bourbon would be a perfect fit

#

no ROPs? just get a RTX 5090

gentle canyon
#

in new gn video he keeps mentioning intel 2016

#

what was so big about that year

hoary zodiac
#

4c/8t

#

that's just my interpretation tho

nocturne flicker
#

Intel 2016 was when Intel was sitting around doing nothing, allowing AMD to cook up a big comeback swing

hoary zodiac
#

kaby lake moment

nocturne flicker
#

Yes

hoary zodiac
#

the 1700X had 8c/16t

#

the 7700k ad 4c/8t

nocturne flicker
#

Well, Ryzen launched March of 2017

hoary zodiac
#

Coffee lake Q4 of 17

#

Kaby lake was Q1 of 17

#

I wonder what would've prompted that coffee lake launch hmmm

wraith fern
#

khaby lame

worthy meteor
#

14nm+++++++++ era

frigid stag
#

Funny how ryzen was like 4 gens behind intel

#

Was getting gapped by 22nm kekw

#

3770K go brrr

nocturne flicker
#

Ryzen was 4 gens behind Intel because that is basically where they left off with FX derpyBlob

gentle canyon
#

RYZEN, GIVE ME 12 CORE CCD X3D, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

hoary zodiac
#

Ryzen being 4 gens behind still posed enough of a threat for coffee lake to become a thing

frigid stag
#

More cores go brrr

#

The marketing was stronger for it than intel

hoary zodiac
#

because they actually had something to offer

#

yes zen/zen+ ipc was garbage

nocturne flicker
#

The environment naturally favored AMD. Because everyone was annoyed with Intel and AMD coming back was an underdog fighting back against the titan

frigid stag
#

I mean if you needed a cheap workstation cpu then ye

hoary zodiac
#

but it was good enough to catch people's attention

frigid stag
hoary zodiac
#

innovation always catch people's attention

#

it wasn't just workstation

frigid stag
#

It basically was. They were so much worse for gaming

hoary zodiac
#

I remember zen being quite popular with streamers

frigid stag
#

But techtubers just spammed 1440p/ ultra settings benchmarks to show how “small” of a difference it was

#

Even then the difference was pretty large, took them a while to find a use for it

#

They were cheap for Black Friday sales at least

hoary zodiac
#

I think you are exaggerating on how bad ryzen actually was

frigid stag
#

Early ryzen was that bad

#

Zen 2 was ok and then from there they’re fine

#

zen 3 and up are decent

hoary zodiac
#

you're making it sound like that the only thing propping up ryzen was fake numbers

frigid stag
#

Pretty much was

#

For most people at least

hoary zodiac
#

define most people

frigid stag
#

Games were heavily single core

#

Most people still don’t use 8 cores let alone 7 years ago

hoary zodiac
#

because they didn't have 8 cores

frigid stag
#

Ye so why does it matter for them

hoary zodiac
#

wh

#

so you're saying that innovation doesn't matter

frigid stag
#

Like what’s the goal of having 8 much slower cores for a task that needs fast single core

#

It was an improvement from fx 100% but I don’t think they were worth buying personally

hoary zodiac
#

I think you're missing the entire point

#

the point is that it was a disruptive product

#

they gained market share because they made something that consumers wanted

#

simple as that

#

it wasn't a marketing conspiracy

#

they made a good product

frigid stag
#

Ye that’s where I disagree on the last part

hoary zodiac
#

you can argue about specs and real performance all you want

frigid stag
#

It wasn’t good but the effect of it was

#

Bad product, good outcome eventually

hoary zodiac
#

let's agree to disagree

frigid stag
#

Sure

#

I’m not a fanboy of either btw, I’m actually a fan of the 9800x3d

#

It’s a solid option

hoary zodiac
#

I'm not either

#

I absolutely despise AMD

frigid stag
#

Oh

hoary zodiac
#

same with nvidia and intel for that matter

frigid stag
#

They make good CPU’s now at least they’re available

hoary zodiac
#

I just don't agree with what you said

worthy meteor
#

At the time 1600af was amazing value for gaming and for a platform that lives on to this day

frigid stag
#

I’ve tried a zen + pc and almost everyone who I know that did said the same thing when they upgraded

worthy meteor
#

Early ryzen still has a lot to offer

hoary zodiac
#

sample size?

frigid stag
#

They were just garbage in performance

#

Zen 1/+ created the amdip meme

worthy meteor
#

Once new generations came in, yea

hoary zodiac
#

again that's not the point

#

the point wasn't raw performance

#

they had no chance of going up against intel head on

frigid stag
#

Where your average fps was high but the 1% lows would dip so hard

hoary zodiac
#

the point was to create a disruptive product

#

that would appeal to the mass consumer

#

zen and zen + was extremely successful in that case

frigid stag
#

I mean for it to be disruptive it either has to be price or marketing

worthy meteor
#

But Ryzen was very competitive for the time, especially compared to pre-ryzen AMD, the market share increase was huge

hoary zodiac
#

you can argue about gaming performance all you want

frigid stag
#

Or some special feature

hoary zodiac
#

but that's not the entire story

#

and even then the am4 platform has a lot of benefits

#

like say

worthy meteor
#

Ryzen was disruptive with a long lasting platform, high core counts, and cheap price

hoary zodiac
#

overclocking on B boards

frigid stag
#

Well yeah in the long term you could get more out of it

hoary zodiac
#

I'm trying not to include hindsight

#

but even in 2017 there were a lot of benefits of going ryzen

#

again

worthy meteor
#

At the time of launch they promised 4 years

#

Not even hindsight

hoary zodiac
#

gamers are not the entire market

frigid stag
#

I mean they were decent for multi core especially at the price

worthy meteor
#

Hindsight says 9 years on, am4 still lives

worthy meteor
#

Or 3100/3300x

frigid stag
#

Yea it just took 4 years to get the same performance you could’ve had in 2018 with ☕ lake

worthy meteor
#

The near and sub $100 CPU option

hoary zodiac
#

here's the thing

worthy meteor
#

With a ddr4 platform

hoary zodiac
#

you could not get a 6c/12t for that cheap

worthy meteor
#

9100f+board and 8350k+board were more expensive

hoary zodiac
#

9100f is stretching it

worthy meteor
#

Especially with how cheap you could get a320 boards

hoary zodiac
#

that's getting close to zen 2

worthy meteor
#

We're in the range of iirc $75 for 1600af and ~$60 for an a320 board, brand new

#

It wasn't something you could do with Intel without going used

#

All of the lga1151v2 boards were $80+

hoary zodiac
#

again

nocturne flicker
#

They weren't that bad for gaming. The 1600x was rather close to the 7600k. The biggest reason why 4 gens behind Intel was a thing was not because Zen 1 was really bad, it is because the stagnation of Intel and OC potential for the older higher end chips was really good

hoary zodiac
#

here's the thing

#

computers aren't solely for gaming

#

let's say you're a twitch streamer

#

or a 3D modeller

worthy meteor
#

It wasn't just appeared good, they were competitive where Intel didn't offer anything at that price

#

There weren't any z370 boards as cheap as a320 boards

hoary zodiac
#

narrowing ryzen down to poor performance in gaming does it a massive disservice

worthy meteor
#

Again, that's not $60

hoary zodiac
#

and exaggerates how bad the performance actually is

#

what if

worthy meteor
#

Zen 1 big issue was the imc just couldn't do anything really

hoary zodiac
#

you can do BOTH

#

on the same machine

worthy meteor
#

Zen + at least 3200 worked

hoary zodiac
#

it's not exclusive

#

that's the appeal of ryzen

#

they offer MORE options

worthy meteor
#

Zen+ was competitive for being cheaper and offering equivalent workstation performance for significantly cheaper

#

Gaming wise Zen+ was just cheaper but behind

hoary zodiac
#

exactly

#

you can't measure ryzen by gaming performance alone

#

that's a terrible metric

worthy meteor
#

Problem with Intel at the time for low end was non-Z boards locking memory frequency which kinda took away their advantage

wicked oriole
#

Do I grab a used 4090 FE for 2k plus tax?

hoary zodiac
#

you can't say that ryzen is a garbage product because it didn't offer good gaming performance

worthy meteor
#

A320 limit was 3200 iirc

hoary zodiac
#

that ignores the entire purpose of ryzen

worthy meteor
#

Intel anything before b560 was 2400/2600 iirc

hoary zodiac
#

it offered a great value proposition to consumer

#

you get a less powerful cpu sure

worthy meteor
#

It was i3/i5 got 2400, i7/i9 get 2666 on most of them

hoary zodiac
#

but it's more versatile

#

and they were more cost effective

worthy meteor
#

3200c16 was the standard way before that

#

There was also the 3000c15 aegis kit back then that was popular

hoary zodiac
#

I think that's got more to do with ram pricing than anything

worthy meteor
#

I paid like $70 for 2x8 3200c16 iirc

#

Late 2018 or so, I'll have to check when my order was

hoary zodiac
#

there was a ram shortage?

worthy meteor
#

It was under supply

hoary zodiac
#

covid?

#

huh

worthy meteor
#

Prices were high but I would not call it a shortage like anything we've seen since

hoary zodiac
#

is that a US exclusive thing?

#

or global

worthy meteor
#

Afaik global

#

Was like Samsung hynix and co underestimated demand for a bit

#

Honestly not really

#

It was like $60 or so for EVGA BR

#

$70 for CX

hoary zodiac
#

or near bomb tier

worthy meteor
#

Granted it was 550w but that was also before 30xx power draw became an issue

hoary zodiac
#

true

worthy meteor
hoary zodiac
#

oh 💀

#

I usually set the bar at C tier

worthy meteor
#

CX is B tier

#

I'll need to double check the tiers

hoary zodiac
#

make sure you use a 2018 list

worthy meteor
#

It was back during the LTT forum tier list not the cultist tier list

hoary zodiac
#

2023 list probably isn't accurate

worthy meteor
#

LTT forum tiers are different from cultist tiers

hoary zodiac
#

I mean

#

it was accurate for 2018

#

🤷‍♂️

storm narwhal
#

It'll only explode in the future

hoary zodiac
#

older models were more usable back then

worthy meteor
hoary zodiac
#

a s12iii would've been a decent budget psu back then

#

today it's probably a bomb

#

thermaltake

worthy meteor
storm narwhal
#

Where's the newest PSU list

worthy meteor
#

I know s12iii was one tier below br

hoary zodiac
#

It's not a good psu

#

but it didn't cross into bomb

worthy meteor
hoary zodiac
#

at least for 2018

worthy meteor
#

Whole brand F tiers are generally lying in advertising and lying in reviewer samples so there's no way to tell what piece of crap you get

#

Iirc gamemax sent different samples for 80+ verification than what was shipped to consumers

pseudo patrol
#

wait why are people saying linux is better than w11

worthy meteor
#

I mean the problem that put gamemax into F tier is pre-2021, I don't keep track with what has happened since

hoary zodiac
#

you have to pay money for windows

#

and your data is monetised too

#

with all that money

pseudo patrol
hoary zodiac
#

and they still can't deliver a good consumer experience

storm narwhal
#

w11 is pretty crap

hoary zodiac
#

in fact

storm narwhal
#

it just broke itself randomly trying to force an update

hoary zodiac
#

there are documented cases where games on linux run better than on windows 11

storm narwhal
#

Just had to reinstall it

hoary zodiac
#

like

#

it's a paid product

storm narwhal
#

and yeah, linux with proton compatibility supports a lot more games now

hoary zodiac
#

it should not be in the state it is

worthy meteor
#

It's a problem with the credibility of the company, they can't trust gamemax after it came out reviewer samples were different from what was sent to consumers iirc

hoary zodiac
#

10 is tolerable

#

Linux has as many bloat as you install

storm narwhal
worthy meteor
storm narwhal
#

doesn't matter if someones copying your brand

hoary zodiac
#

I'd say even a bloated 7 install is usable

storm narwhal
#

The consumer should just avoid it entirely

#

Hence, F tier

hoary zodiac
#

at least more usable than a bloated 11 install

#

win 10 you can probably get by

#

maybe...

pseudo patrol
#

I've also seen people could pirate LTSC for windows 10 to allow a further security support past the due date

craggy shoal
gentle canyon
#

i will run on w10 until my pc just doesnt work unless i go to w11

worthy meteor
#

Debloated w11 is fine for now but who knows what Microsoft will add next

storm narwhal
#

LTSC is not the same as normal windows

worthy meteor
#

Why only record your screen when they can record your voice at all times or smth

hoary zodiac
#

the problem is charging people money for the OS, directly or indirectly through OEMs, then MONETISING their data, and deliver a crappy product at the same time

pseudo patrol
storm narwhal
#

missing a few consumer features and games might need extra installations to work

hoary zodiac
#

people are willing to jump into the linux rabbit hole because they're sick of microsoft's crap

pseudo patrol
#

I'll jus keep running ethernet tho

storm narwhal
#

And gets much slower updates than general release

hoary zodiac
#

if they can't get windows to work

#

they go to the competition

pseudo patrol
#

yeah w11 got so many bloated background running programs it'll be so much slower in the future

hoary zodiac
#

it already is

#

in some instances game run slower on windows than linux

storm narwhal
#

there is so much bloat that you can just uninstall with revo

hoary zodiac
#

despite the fact that for a lot of games you have to run a compatibility layer

storm narwhal
#

it's like, 5-6 random microsoft apps

hoary zodiac
#

like

#

it's not just the bloat

#

it's the bloat and the data collection and the os just being annoying to use in general

#

oh and it's unstable too

storm narwhal
#

data collection and instability for sure

#

but I mean, it has things that just don't even need to be there

hoary zodiac
#

I had a dual boot linux and win 10 install for the longest time

#

now I don't bother anymore with 11

#

it's more hassle than running a windows vm

frigid stag
#

More people would use Linux if they knew what it even was kekw

#

They probably think it’s some hacker os

hoary zodiac
#

I mean

#

a lot of academics at my uni use linux

#

that says a lot

#

especially for institutions that's been traditionally entrenched in windows

frigid stag
#

I mean it’s not that hard to pick up as a beginner

hoary zodiac
#

they still bear with it

#

and work out the issues

frigid stag
hoary zodiac
#

I'm more talking about using linux professionally

frigid stag
#

Ye it’s much more popular there

storm narwhal
#

Just do about an hour of searching and you'll probably find the solution you're looking for

frigid stag
#

Most servers and things run on Linux I’d assume

hoary zodiac
#

it's a lot more difficult to use linux in a professional environment

#

than just using it personally

storm narwhal
#

90% of server things run on linux

frigid stag
#

Can do more with it though

hoary zodiac
storm narwhal
#

the internet relies on linux

hoary zodiac
#

a lot of applications are windows exclusive

#

especially with science and engineering

frigid stag
#

Wonder how much market share % windows server has compared to Linux

hoary zodiac
#

it's gotten a lot better recently

hoary zodiac
#

which has in turn helped linux adoption

#

I'd say linux adoption has surged in the past couple years

#

line that up with the launch of windows versions

storm narwhal
#

Can't wait till SteamOS officially releases

hoary zodiac
#

maybe there's a pattern

storm narwhal
#

Technically there is bazzite

hoary zodiac
#

I'd say it's more

#

microsoft greed

#

windows itself isn't bad

#

the NT kernel is decent

#

it's what microsoft decides to put on it

#

like windows is a great platform

#

if microsoft actually did something with it

#

depends

#

some "normies" never used a pc

#

or are mac users

#

in that case linux is possibly as easy to learn as windows

storm narwhal
#

nah

hoary zodiac
#

windows is just the de facto standard

storm narwhal
#

They want you to use crappy w11

hoary zodiac
#

a lot of infrastructure runs on windows

storm narwhal
#

So they have more data to sell

pseudo patrol
#

i mean technically if you have a decent anti virus and stay away from malicious sites W10 will be the ultimate home instead of being forced to migrate

hoary zodiac
#

to be fair

#

viruses are usually a skill issue

storm narwhal
#

In theory it should be fine

pseudo patrol
#

exactly

#

my Windows defender never detects anything anymore

storm narwhal
#

Until there's a critical vulnerability that is like kernel level or something

pseudo patrol
#

my downloads have changed since I was a young one

#

I used to download those roblox exploits on my old laptop which had malicious items lol

#

but now that i'm older I stayed away from allat

hoary zodiac
#

yeah don't download Star_Wars_Ep7_x264.BDRip.moviedealer.mp4

pseudo patrol
#

jus avoid zip files

#

torrents are a lil skeptical

dense locust
#

Window was committed to make everyone hate windows 8

Anyone notice this year that manufactures of electric clothing dryers are no longer listing if dryer is 110v or 220v? Did some kind of set standard take place?

Everytime i close tabs

Least I didn't buy a new dryer and find out the hard way. Unlike 2023 where I bought all new parts for 3 gaming server systems, each in a $300 glass case, and got suprised when the Blu-ray tray kept trying to come out and hit the front glass panel, and stood looking at it 10 minutes before I realized most cases don't fit DVD players anymore 😳

sage sluice
#

Unironically just buy like a PS3 for a dvd player

edgy lantern
#

Had to jury rig all 3 systems to use sata. For some reason, using USB was causing some old game titles copy protection to kick in and not run the game. Old origin cds for one that ran off the cd.

#

Not a waste of time though. Those $129+ anime rpgs sold in boxes come with dvds and USB. But dvds seem faster.

nocturne flicker
#

I bought a disk drive specifically to read PS3 discs derpyBlob

frigid stag
#

How you didn’t have one already is kinda concerning kekw

nocturne flicker
#

You need a specific model to read and dump PS3 discs on PC

edgy lantern
#

I don't know about PS3, but I do have PS1 titles like Lunar I &II and the emulator plays them flawlessly. Better than the ps1, and I can cheat easily now. Hated having to rely on game shark codes when I can just use a memory editor and make my own changes.

fresh timber
#

Im addicted to cobblfmon

nocturne flicker
#

There are about 53 blu-ray disk drive models capable of dumping PS3 disks

#

Some of them are not sold anymore and some on have specific revisions capable of it

edgy lantern
#

Oh, I also own a lot of PS2 RPGs. My two favorites are wild arms 2 & 3

#

Can't recall if I ever tried to run a ps2 game on my pc.

#

When my bulky TV died, found out the ps1 and ps2 won't work on my flat screens. Bought a switch, but didn't help.

nocturne flicker
#

PS2 disks are unencrypted so any drive can dump the games

edgy lantern
#

Never got back to it because I kinda get distracted and got caught up making plug-ins for Starbound and Ultima Online emulator.

edgy lantern
dense locust
#

Emulators are legal

#

It’s the games that are the issue

nocturne flicker
#

PCSX2 is the best and pretty much the only one

edgy lantern
#

I also got caught up promoting multi player games for a bunch of titles. Kinda funny how I left that line of work, which was promoting Ultima Online for EA, then years later my kids got into gaming and somehow they pulled me back in.

I'm not a handheld computer guy, but iirc PCSX2 also works on the Steam Deck

edgy lantern
#

That's very good to know.

#

Thanks.

Nintendo switch also works on steam deck so I think it can handle ps2 just fine

edgy lantern
#

Switch titles I don't like messaging with. Each of my kids and my wife own one, and several incidents scared me into not trying. Year after it was out, someone used a game shark type device on a single player game rental. It resulted in their deck getting locked and banned. Once they returned it, the next renter used the game and it resulted in their deck getting locked out as well, and his children's as well that were linked. Nintendo is not to friendly when the switch is concerned. My Nintendo 3dxl I could care less about though heh.

#

Rune Factory titles are my favorites. I got them on Steam as well, though game play on the deck is annoying. My windows pc runs them better.

dense locust
#

Their deck, not the switch?

edgy lantern
#

Sorry. I'm saying before I started talking about the 3dxl, is that all my familys switch games I wouldn't risk trying to play on my steam deck, because I'm worried of triggering a Nintendo ban on the games and my familys Switch systems. We own both Nintendo switches and Steam Decks, though I slip up sometimes and all my Steam deck, a Steam Switch lol

edgy lantern
dense locust
#

Emulated games couldn’t even attempt to connect to the internet

#

The only way to try to even get banned by Nintendo is by using the mig switch to play a copy of a game at the same time as another switch and go online

#

Also mod chip but that should be obvious

edgy lantern
#

I don't play the Nintendo switch like rest of family so don't know much. If you wanted to cheat on a legal multi-player game, that I can do with my eyes closed. Legal meaning the person who is hosting says it's OK. I don't make them for games like TF2 and now a days only make plug-ins on Steam Workshop. Got tired of people yelling at me they got banned when my utilities clearly have check agreements before running, only to use on title it's made for. I'm on steam under same name so all my workshop titles are listed, though not updated in a year. Kinda got burned out for a while.

#

I made a lot doing repairs back in the days on the ps2 and wii systems, from people who failed moding and knocked off surface mounts in the process. Can't do that now. Half blind.

Ran a BBS in the 80s, first on a C128d, then Amiga C-Net. Called it Video Game Mansion. I almost put one up on my PC 7 years ago, but person who took over, kept running into issues and didn't have the code for 2.0.

That kind of perf has been shown a good bit so you can assume at this point that it will be at that level

#

Bigger thing is price. I still think its gonna be 650 but real world price may be higher

I lowkey might get a 9060 xt

It's still 50-100 bucks more than it really should be to ACTUALLY win major market share

wise wigeon

yuh

1 dollars off lmao

#

or 1 cent

devout forum
#

To be fair

#

I was calling 650 for the 9070

#

And 750 for the XT

elfin mural
#

and ofc some cards bleed into 1k

#

or rather..

wise wigeon
#

I’m hoping the ones I. The right are placeholders

devout forum
#

That's so ass

elfin mural

ALL of them

but asrock

devout forum
#

Anything over 700 for XT is bad value

#

Especially when in some cases a 7800 XT beats the 9070 XT

devout forum
#

If they priced the 9070 like the 7700 XT was
They'd be massively winning rn

wise wigeon
#

Thought the general performance was 7900xt to xtx tier

devout forum
#

But instead they managed to fumble even when every star aligns

devout forum
#

9070 is GRE tier iirc

devout forum
#

And it costs like the same the GRE went for

#

It's stagnation in it's purest form

#

AMD seems like they truly can fumble any GPU launch even when they're literally offered a win on a silver platter

wise wigeon
#

I hope it’s not a complete fumble

#

But considering AMD is asking YouTubers about prices

#

And still doesn’t have a concrete one after a 2 month delay

devout forum
#

Yeah it's an absolute fumble

wise wigeon
#

Is like disheartening

devout forum
#

I have zero doubts that they will fumble now

#

At this point I am convinced this is another fumble

elfin mural
#

9070 red devil costing 1099 is WILD

devout forum
#

Ikr???

#

It's stagnation in it's purest form

#

Unless you can OC the XT to beat a 4080

#

That's just craptastic

elfin mural

#

If the general street price of a xt bleeds into 850-900

devout forum
#

100% will

elfin mural
#

it will

devout forum
#

It's just inevitable now

elfin mural
#

the asrock cards will run outta stock

wise wigeon
#

Honestly just wait for a 70 ti

#

Or get a xtx

devout forum
#

Street prices rn go like "MSRP+200"

#

Just in general

wise wigeon
#

Ray tracing isnt likely to be like 40% better

elfin mural
#

they're also the challengers

#

oof

devout forum
#

Ironically if AMD actually cared they'd have lowered MSRP by 200-250

wise wigeon
#

And you lose 8 gb vram

elfin mural
#

the msrp priced cards

devout forum
#

Then they'd get GLOWING reviews even if the prices are actually like 650-700 bucks

elfin mural
#

well

wise wigeon
#

I mean hub thought 550 was reasonable

elfin mural
#

let's just wait until amd realizes they have fumbled and barely get any sales

#

because the 5070ti got a chokehold on it

devout forum
#

Cuz at 700
The XT would still be okay value

#

Not great but at least not terrible

wise wigeon
#

For current market

devout forum
#

But an MSRP of 700 means street price of 900

And at 900 the XT is practically a waste of silicon to me

wise wigeon
#

In general it’s a worse value than a msrp 70 ti

elfin mural
#

once 5070ti returns to msrp (eventually)

#

the 9070xt is cooked

devout forum
#

AMD as a whole is cooked

#

At this point, there's no hope left

#

Single-digit market share come here

wise wigeon
#

Like I’m ok with the xtx but if I’m able to get like a 70 ti at msrp to 800 I’m willing to return

elfin mural
#

no one cares about radeon if it costs the same as its competitor

#

more vram? sure, good, but they will buy nvidia regardless

devout forum
#

It's joever

wise wigeon
elfin mural
#

compared to 5070ti i think

devout forum
#

Radeon is done for

wise wigeon
#

Ti has 16

At this point it's over

There's no point for hype anymore

Ok doomposting is crazy

elfin mural

it's over

well, a supposed self created shortage

elfin mural

amd knows they can get away with this shortage thing

wise wigeon
devout forum
#

AMD managed to somehow screw up so monumentally that there's nothing short it nGreedAI getting slapped with a billions-large class action over the 50 series to save AMDone

elfin mural
#

but when stock normalizes and 9070xt remains 699

#

and when nvidia stabilizes

devout forum
#

It's legitimately impressive how big a fumble this is

elfin mural
#

people will happy pay the extra $50 to get the nvidia

wise wigeon
#

AMD has to shave off another $50 in discounts in the first three months

devout forum
#

50?

#

Nah

#

Try 150

wise wigeon
#

First 3 months

devout forum
#

50 bucks over 3 months is nothing

#

50 bucks in the first month MIGHT make a difference

wise wigeon
#

An almost 20% discount so soon is gonna piss off aibs

devout forum
#

At this point the AIBs won't have a partner to buy chips from

#

Because AMD is done

mortal grail
#

Are we doomposting again

elfin mural

i don't think amd is done

mortal grail
elfin mural

it's just gonna be a moment for amd to go

They’re going kinda crazy with the doom posting

elfin mural

"oh! let's dump the prices!"

devout forum
elfin mural

which is a great thing

elfin mural
#

just funny lol

balmy solstice
#

they just need to chop the 9070 and come up with a better gpu. we know they can

wise wigeon
#

Let’s just wait a day and see if they took any feedback from creators

elfin mural
#

wait a few months and prices will be what we want

devout forum
#

Way too high launch prices leading to middling reviews meaning nobody will care to buy them anyway

balmy solstice
#

if it had 20gb vram or more, it'd be worth buying

devout forum
#

It's 16

elfin mural

xtx was eeeehhh value at launch

balmy solstice

yeah that's what I'm saying

It was $200 cheaper than its competitor

devout forum

I no longer believe AMD actually intends to make competition

elfin mural
#

24gb vram is nice

#

for what was 1k at launch

devout forum
#

9070 series was literally getting a win offered on a silver platter

And AMD somehow manages to turn it into a disappointment

elfin mural
#

tbh all companies do is make money

#

can't blame em

they're not charities

wise wigeon

that's the question

will they just refund you

and leave you 50 series gpu-less

wise wigeon
elfin mural

fair

wise wigeon

Vendor probably refund

elfin mural

i can't imagine how much of a pain it'll be to only get a refund

wise wigeon

If no stock is available

balmy solstice

manu gonna send you the missing parts and gonna tell you how to put it together yourself

Still I don’t see it hurting Nvidia that bad in the long run unfortunately

elfin mural

sends you only the chip

good luck soldering it on

It'd be really funny if then they turn around and sell the same GPU as new again

elfin mural

they def will

i bet

With like a 10 dollar discount

elfin mural

it's still functional

or "refurbished"

aka returned and resealed

Used 50 series market is gonna be even worse than used 40 series/used 13/14th gen

yikes for the refurb market on 50 series in the future

devout forum
wise wigeon

elfin mural

they'll just replace the ports

wise wigeon
#

Probably

devout forum
elfin mural
#

gotta do whatever it takes to resell yknow

minimize losses

devout forum
#

Or just put it through a machine at the factory

wise wigeon
#

I mean the port was functional it was just hard to take in and out

devout forum
#

Ah

#

Then just

#

Slap a discount on it and send it

elfin mural
#

for $100 less

wise wigeon
#

But I payed msrp for it so I’m not getting a damaged product

devout forum
#

That's fair

elfin mural
#

valid

#

i'd be upset too if my brand new gpu came with a defect

wise wigeon
#

I mean the io shield was bent too

devout forum
#

Wack

wise wigeon
#

Which probably cause the display port deformations

devout forum
#

Possible

#

Still, a fairly easy fix for the manu

wise wigeon

But it also prevented me from installing the support bracket correctly

devout forum

Got spare parts and spare ports
Take it apart, get the connectors off if need be, solder on new connectors if you have to, new IO shield, package and go
