Every time AMD seems like it can hit its stride next generation (looking at last gen) they somehow make some weird, unexpected decision that kneecaps their next one (this gen).
The fact this barely keeps up with last gen is honestly disappointing. The only real upgrades this gen are at the high end of the stack which is prohibitively expensive. I guess I'll be sticking to my 3060ti for at least another gen.
The industry seems to be rhyming with the old 3dfx days where the low and mid tier were completely ignored and gamers were being squeezed for money with only high end really being available same worth anything.
Absolutely! And because this is Gen 1 of AMD's chip let design architecture, whatever isn't the high end is more of a last gen equivalent (as in near identical performance) over even an incremental upgrade.
I wonder how much longer this can go on for.
Looks like my Vega64 lives another year
