Yes, that is the video. Considering how familiar people are with hardware unboxed and like to post links to them, I thought I would not need to post it and give it a time stamp. Thanks for the link btw. Looking At AIB partner cards at the same tier when comparing the rtx 3080 to the 6800xt, we...

Hardwareunboxed did an investigation and they believe it AMD was responsible for HIGH AIB pricing. They found that selling at AMD suggested MSRP was basically near cost for them and it was the lowest margin ever on a videocard for them. As a result, they cannot sell the cards at AMD MSRP. In...

Nvidia cards aren't even that good for mining Ethereum. The 5700xt is a far more plentiful card with a higher performance per watt card and in far greater supply. It just doesn't makes sense for them to buy them up and it doesn't make sense for Nvidia to sell them to Chinese miners. Nvidia is so...

The 5700xt and 5700 although selling well, are not selling that well. You can tell this is the case by the specials and new game bundles with the 5700 and 5700xt. If your selling well, you would not need to have sales. But as we can see, manufacturers have been selling $290 5700 and $350 5700xt...

There appears to be an issue with the memory controller for the architecture more than the memory itself. All Ram should have some form of overclocking headroom, but from what I have seen, there is almost none. There are some users claiming something like a 7 % memory overclock on memory...

That is not quite true. When AMD had products with downright superior performance or a strong value proposition like the hd 4870 and 5870, their marketshare reached near 50 percent. This underdog attitude which AMD seems to have fabricated exclusively for itself is not unique in any way and...

"You People may get as angry as you want, but you will still be gaming on RDNA next year" This part of your quote implies Nvidia is not coming out with 7nm products even next year and the futures is set in stone and Nvidia product stack will not move forward. It reeks of extreme arrogance...

This is astroturfing at its finest. Considering your join date, your ferocious post frequency and the content and ad like nature of your posts, it is highly suspect. Just saying you own a Nvidia card in your main computer is not enough. Someone could say they own 4 RTX titans with a slice of ham...

Absolute terrible speculation from Adored TV there. There might be one product in that lineup that could resemble what Navi is but that has got to be the stupidest segmentation strategy I have ever seen when chip development cost are at a all time high. Why would AMD need two separate chips...

It doesn't make sense to make such a big downgrade in your case. The rest of your system is top end when it comes to processor, ram and storage. Putting a 100 dollar videocard in that type of system seems like a shame. The RX 580 is so underpriced at the moment because the market is flooded...

No way. The over supply of codes have lowered the value on this bundle. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/AMD-Bundle-3-PC-Games-Resident-Evil-2-Devil-May-Cry-5-The-Division-2/333118357314?hash=item4d8f66bf42:g:uaYAAOSwOttcjCI6 60 cdn for all three games which is around 45 USD. I would say having more...

Which is something I mentioned. Too limited a term and doesn't account for variability enough. Not enough math or anything to determine what dictates a luxury good even within an essential good. E.g What foods are luxury foods, when does clothing start to become a luxury good, what houses are...

The entire videocard market is not luxury goods. That's a flawed assumption. Because it assumes the market generally responds favorably to price increases. As we have seen with the RTX launch, a brand isn't enough to sell card, you need increases with price to performance to go along with it...

The reason why they should charge less is to gain marketshare. Right now, their marketshare is 18% which is close to an all time low. Look at any of their recent launches and its basically AMD just matching the price to performance of Nvidia. This is on top of having worse efficiency, higher...
