I don’t get this.
Well, if this includes laptops, I get that. Just try to find a dGPU laptop with AMD or Arc these days.
…But in desktops, everyone seems to complain about Nvidia pricing, yet no one is touching Battlemage or the 9000 series? Why? For gaming specifically, they seem pretty great in their price brackets.
Maybe prebuilts are overshadowing that too?
Its always been this way: they want AMD and Intel to compete so Nvidia gets cheaper, not that they will ever buy AMD or Intel. Gamers seem to be the laziest, most easily influenced consumer sector ever.
People who say buy Intel and amd probably either did or will when they upgrade, which is probably not anytime soon with the way everything seems to be going.
That one stung XD. I went with an AMD GPU in 2023 after only owning Nvidia for decades. I went with AMD because I was not satisfied with the amount of Vram Nvidia offers and I did not want burning power connectors. Overall it's stable and works great. There are some bugs here and there, but zero regrets.
No shame in that; AMD and Nvidia traded between 'optimal buys' forever. There were times where buying AMD was not the best idea, like with how amazing the Nvidia 900/1000 series was while AMD Vega was very expensive.
Others, it wasn't obvious at the time. The old AMD 7000 series was pricey at launch, for instance, but aged ridiculously well. A 7950 would still function alright these days.
This market's such a caricature now though. AMD/Intel are offering these obvious great values, yet being looked over through pure ignorance; I can't remember things ever being like this, not all the way back to Nvidia Fermi at least.
We've come to a point where PC gaming is so mainstream that the average PC gamer likely doesn't even know that AMD makes GPUs. They'll just complain about the prices and then pay for Nvidia directly or indirectly via prebuilts.
I buy this.
And I can’t really blame people for not diving into components and wanting stuff to just… Work.
No one (on average) knows their graphics card off the top of their head.
I’m doing my part. I picked up an Arc B580.
