The consumer GPU market is becoming a dystopia at the top end. AMD has publicly retreated from it and Intel is likely a decade away from competing there. I guess I'll stay in the midrange moving forward. Fuck Nvidia.
I don't get why people are so keen on handing over such a huge amount of money just for bragging rights. The midrange is perfectly fine for playing any game these days. Those top end GPUs are getting an absolutely inordinate amount of attention compared to the relevance they have to most people.
If AMD was smart they would release an upper-mid range card with like 40+ gb of vram. Doesn't event have to be their high end card, people wanting to do local/self serve AI stuff would swarm on those.
yeah, I've been wanting a card like that to run local models since 2020 when I got a 3080. Back then I'd have spent a bit more to get one with the same performance but some 20GB of VRAM.
Nowadays, if they released an RX 9070 with at least 24GB at a price between the 16GB model and an RTX 5080 (also 16GB); that would be neat.
