Well, it used to not be that way. Decline has been steadily ongoing for years.....

Have you seen their headquarters?

No, but that would make an excellent strawman. If one had bothered to read my previous post however, one would know the answer to that question.

Unless a GPU is required for one's work, you absolutely can.... and the vast majority of people will. But I'll let Nvidia's quarterly report reflect that....

Read the edit. Unless wages increased by the same amount, price matching inflation will result in substantially less sales. Because basic needs take priority.

It seems like a nice enough card, but the pricing remains out of touch, at least if Nvidia wants to sell these with any considerable volume. The primary reason most consumers get excited for new generations & node shrinks is because, for the last 3 decades, that has meant a performance / $...

Interesting.... according to the chart, it would actually be very slightly more cost efficient to use a bigger die on 7/6 nm in order to target the same performance vs 5/4 nm (and this includes the efficiency advantage of the smaller node as well). Of course, for the absolute top end, one can't...

Any news on when N32 hits?

Figured out the answer to my own question.... 1.5x RT perf per CU. But CU counts didn't increase very much due to the new design, so 1.575 for the XT and 1.8 for the XTX. RIP.

Kinda feel bad for them.... They seem to have made great progress in every area except RT. Pricing for the XTX seems "reasonable." XT probably not the best value. Will have to wait for real world RT benchmarks I suppose. I had thought the 1.5x RT performance uplift would be multiplicative...

Yeah, I'm dubious about the chiplet design... but I guess we will find out soon enough. Honestly, I don't think they even really need to compete with the 4000 series RT perf. As long as they can offer something better than the 3000 series at a reasonable price, they will have a winner...

They shouldn't have launched the 4080 12GB. 4090 at 1600 was fine (it is a whale card, nobody cares). 4080 16GB over 1K feelsbadman. Should have been $999 max. 4080 12 GB - Don't launch it. Hold until you clear inventory, launch at $749 - $799, when inventory clears. And don't call it a...

Whatever the stock situation is, it is bound to be less severe in absolute numbers for AMD just due to volume. The problem I can see though is a conflict of interest for many of their board partners who also make Nvidia boards. How happy are you going to be to sell a new great value chip...

If perf / $ of 4N is that garbage, they should have just fabbed Ada on N6. (x)

In case it wasn't clear, I was not referring to DLSS 3 in my previous post...
