Because the 2022 GPU amd 7900xtx has better raw performance than the 9000 series, and I'm pissed off they didn't try to one-up themselves in the high-end market. I'm not buying a new Nvidia card but I'm not buying a 9000 series either because it feels like I'm paying for a sub-par GPU compared to what they're capable of.
Well, same for me TBH. I’d buy a huge Battlemage card before you could blink, but the current cards aren’t really faster than an ancient 3090.
But most people I see online want something more affordable, right in the 9000 series or Arc range, not a 384-bit GPU.
how is it a sub par GPU given it targets a specific segment (looking at it's price point, die area, memory & power envelope) with its configuration?
You're upset that they didn't aim for a halo GPU and I can understand that, but how does this completely rule out a mid to high end offering from them?
the 9000 series is reminiscent of nv10 versus vega10 GPUs like the 56, 64, even the Radeon 7; achieving equivalent performance for less power and hardware.
Is there a name for this thinking?
