News AMD Radeon RX 7000 RDNA 3 GPUs Could Arrive In December

I hope one day AMD releases their top card and just blows Nvidias top card out of the water by like 40%+ across the board. Then the argument will shift to features and drivers as a distraction from the loss.

4090 was / is quite fast so maybe navi 31 is quite near, but lets see. First multi chip CPU is not easy task to make optimal.
I am more waiting for Nvidia 4070 and Navi 32 aka 6700XT that may be less than $900... But those will be released somewhere next year. Hopefully before the summer.

$200 GPUs are practically dead and I don´t expect to see sensible GPUs in that price category. Maybe 4050 and 6400XT could be near $400 to $500...

If the rumours about Nvidia selling their RTX 3000 (being the mid-range to entry level range now) series concurrently to the RTX 4000 series are any true, it would seem that these $200-250 graphics cards wonder will always end up being one generation late. With the supposed release of new variants of the 3060, 3060 Ti and 3070 Ti, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to sell both generations at the same time with the 3000 series being the low to mid-range, and the 4000 series being the higher-end until they release mid-range models in mid to late 2023.

Unless Intel really brings their A game and manage to push AMD and Nvidia midrange pricing down, but they still have to manage a few things like idle power usage to really catch on.

I think that every gamer wants lower priced graphics cards that are competent enough, but we haven't seen that since Pascal, partly due to raytracing units in gaming products.

Not so sure about this for 2 reasons:
  1. If Intel were to make a card that was good enough to put pressure on Nvidia and AMD, then Intel very well might want to make lots of money instead of just playing the role of "spoiler". Intel has a record and reputation in the industry and "budget brand" isn't it.
  2. Maybe, just maybe, it costs a lot to make these cutting edge graphics cards. Lowering the price by a significant amount will fail to make the kind of money needed to justify making better and better cards.

Huh. It already does.

Don't you know that AMD GPU's heat the wintery home, strain the energy infrastructure, have PC bricking drivers and, moreover, anything less than full RT and DLSS is for peasants (even if a laughably small number of games feature either still nm needing the latter to use the former to a halfway decent level)

Go hang around any regular gaming/tech forum a while, Reddit especially. Nvidia fans are full of it and excuses for their brands... less than, er, transparent... strategies too. Though I'll admit this 12Gb 4080/it's a 4070 really thing seems to have actually got a lot of ppl quite vexed. A bit late but very fair though it'll blow over once ppl get their goodies.

After RDNA2 getting on to doing to Nvidia what Ryzen did to Intel, the only reason AMD didn't have at least a third of that market locked down by the start of this year is due to Nvidia hype, mindshare and trickery.
