Wow!

With all the Newegg shenanigans for years now, I'm just surprised at the number of consumers that still purchase from that site.

Who knew? 😳

People who would by AMD are waiting for the refresh?

refresh or not people simply buy more nvidia.

I'm on the fence. Have been team green for a long while. Haven't had an AMD card since Radeon 7800 series, They seem to be well priced but all the review sites rag on their RT performance, and even though that is only a small percentage of games, if makes me hesitant. I'm guessing a lot of others are in the same boat. Worried about being burned if RT becomes more important.

Nvidia prices have come down significantly while 6800XT prices remains stubbornly high. Hard to compete with the 3080 if the 6800XT is priced the same.

The 6800XT ref card has an awesome price but it's about as unobtanium as the FE 3080 is.

But the 3080 was phased out - likely artificially - by the 3080 12GB and 3080Ti. The difference in performance between those 3 is small, but the profits from selling the same GA102 chips can't be...

Just before the launch of the 4000 series the 3000 series are finally selling for what they should have at LAUNCH. Only fools are buying them now.

NVIDIA sells 4 cards to AMDs 1 card.
That is just pure market share.
Its just that graphics card prices have started dropping . So sales are up.

I need that 12Gb of Vram or more (3d art).

My EVGA 3060 cost me $432 (including tax & shipping). A 12Gb AMD card (RX6700XT) is nearly $600 (including tax & shipping).

And then there is the fact that all of my render engines use Nvidia for raytracing, whereas only Blender can use the AMD card.

In a perfect world, all of my 3d apps would use the AMD proRender engine (it is a better render engine) - alas, we do not live in a perfect world.

I wouldn't say ONLY fools, in some situations it makes sense. There is a lot of imagining to do with rtx 4000. Wacky power connectors, huge power draw, availability? I bought a 3060ti a month or so ago and traded it with a buddy for a 3080. Even in six months when 4000 series comes out the 3080 will still be a great card. Not like a load of new games are being launched with new gpus.

The ASUS TUF 3070 Ti has been price jumping a lot lately when Newegg has it in stock. Right now (10:35 PM EDT) it is in stock for 699.99 (with $10 shipping)

I think that is why it is #1 - when it is in stock at that price, it sells out. People move to the Gigabyte version if the ASUS version is only available through 3rd party sellers (like at the $910 from the article).

I wouldn't worry too much if the games you play and will play in the future don't gain much from that, or if you prefer more stable FPS.

The hit for RT is pretty high for current games, so for future ones it's going to be higher, so you'd need a newer card anyways.

I'm of the ones thinking RT will be scaled back significantly because of that, like will only be put on shadows or certain surfaces only, for cinematic effect during exploration.

Developer probably go all out with RT ditching all the baked effect used up until now. But they will make the usual thing they have been doing with pc. So we probably going to see low, medium, hing and ultra RT effect. But even on low RT will still going to be more demanding.

Maybe but I think its just because nvidia cards are favored. Dlss, better rt, nvenc, better drivers according to most, and I think people just see nvidia as the main or dominant brand so they go with that. Kinda like how people will favor something from apple or Samsung

AMD fanboys believe AMD are not greedy and fighting the evil nvidia. they are very proud to call AMD as the king of price/performance. hence as a hardcore AMD fanboys they will not going to buy AMD GPU until it is heavily discounted and then brag about it later.

The term is mindshare, separate from marketshare.
