Now that AMD is supposedly out of the high end graphics card market, it seems like high end gpus are going to go for a fun pricing range.
What? When did they say that? I just bought a high-end AMD card and it's wicked fast.
They said, about a month ago, that their 8000 series GPUs won't have a high end option, only low and mid tier.
But rumours also say that RDNA 4 will be somewhat of a half-assed generation and that they're putting resources in something maybe called "UDNA" instead, which will compete at the top end.
Poor Volta
That's crazy! But cards are so fast these days it doesn't seem like you need a high end model anyway. My machine with a 980 to can still run everything on Ultra, except for VR which it runs on medium.
A lot of newer AAA games rely on ray tracing and AI upscaling to even be able to properly render at 1080p . This is their way to make up for developer's shit hardware optimization and insistence on investing in diminishing returns for graphical realism.
I think a lot of games these days are keeping low powered devices like the steamdeck in mind. I think we are heading for igpu only for gamers and all the dgpu resources are going to go towards AI.
