Seeing the RX 7600 leap so far ahead in higher resolutions in CS is interesting. Ultimately both seem… ugh.
Both team green and team red thought they could charge pandemic era scalper prices this generation, which of course wont happen because ETH mining is dead
I wonder if we will ever see a proper return to form for GPU pricing. As you mentioned, most if not all other PC hardware has come down to pre-pandemic pricing but without GPUs joining them it makes budget builds impossible*
Unfortunately, I think no. Nvidia sells every AI chip wafer they can get from TSMC, so if gamers won’t pay the same margins as datacenter customers Nvidia will simply stop selling to them. As such, Nvidia does not need consumers/home users anymore.
As for AMD, they just decided their pricing strategy is “whatever Nvidia does, but 10% cheaper”
It’s really again just a giant douche vs a turd sandwich, both cards are shit value. 6700x is near the same price new sometimes cheaper on sale and crushes them, i understand Nvidia doing this since their cards have a monopoly but why amd would follow such rediculously high price to performance is beyond me when their ai scene is non existent so they don’t sell many sever GPUs and opencl is shit compared to cuda, meaning their primary target for these releases is consumers. They do have a monopoly imo on apus however, but that’s a different category imo.
