    The crushing majority of people are not spending $3000 on a graphics card. Chasing the fastest for the sake of it is something most people are not doing.

    All other pricepoints are covered, and slightly better served on average at that by AMD.

      Welp. That’s another lie. Until very recently, if you wanted performance over NVIDIA’s 60-tier on AMD, your only options were the Vega 56, 64 or the Radeon VII, which were all trash. It wasn’t until the 6000 series that AMD was able to come close to NVIDIA’s 80-tier and they’ve come out and said they’re not doing that anymore, so we have a grand total of TWO high end Radeon cards. Your assertion that AMD has covered every price point below $3000 is pure fantasy.

        you took a specific period where, yes, AMD was struggling.

        my assertion is correct because we are not at that time anymore.

          Did you miss the part where I pointed out AMD said they were gonna stop trying with high end? We were barely out of it for 2 generations and now we’re right back into it.
