I still running my 10 series (i dont play many new AAA games so it does fine) but I am going to need an ugprade eventually and nvidia is what? near 1 grand for a 16GB vrma gpu that isnt the 100% useless & overpriced 5060? I'll prolly end up team red when I upgrade. (and i havent had a team red since my ati x1300) Reply
thesyndrome This is most likely going to keep growing, with Nvidia now neglecting it's gaming division in favour of AI, it has led to drivers being so bad that the old meme of AMD having bad drivers is now Nvidia's wheelhouse, combined with their pricing still being ludicrous. If you also take into account that AMD are closing the gap in Nvidia in terms of performance and features (9070xt trades blows with a 5070ti for £200 less, even in terms of raytracing, which was always AMD's weakness), and the fact that Intel have pretty much taken over the low-end market, I can see Nvidia's market share dropping quite a lot by the new generation of GPUs. The only way I can see Nvidia holding onto this 92% is if they come out swinging next generation and reveal a great value product, but judging the launches of the 40 and 50 series, I wouldn't count on it. I have a 4070 super now, but if the 9070xt was out when I was making my purchase, then I'd probably have that instead, and I can very easily see myself switching to AMD for my next card, and I never thought I'd say that after swearing off ATI graphics cards back in 2008 following a series of cards failing one after another.

The VRAM thing had been massively overblown, the only real issue is the 5060ti 8GB and that’s more down to the x8 connector Reply

I'll prolly end up team red when I upgrade. (and i havent had a team red since my ati x1300) I swapped my 1060 6GB for a 3060 12GB just before the 4000 series came out. Had i waited a month i could have ended up with a 4060 instead. I did not know the 4000 series were about to get released. All i saw was a decent deal for the 3060. So i got it. They were dumping stock and that is why is was cheaper Since then i bought a 9060 XT 16GB. Paid 389 pounds just two months ago. I got the Sapphire Nitro + for its good cooling reviews. My 3060 2 fan job was not up to the spec of cooling so i wanted to get my first 3 fan job. Just saw this card on amazon today for less than 330. pounds. Not bad savings. I am part of that swing to AMD. I am on AMD cos i moved to linux. Nvidia was not really nice to deal with when on linux. Yes, they work but the way they work is not always nice and their drivers are months and months behind. I still have two 1060 and they still play games quite well. But i will now be selling both on ebay. Ill set the postage and see what they fetch in open bidding Reply

I don’t see how constantly spanking AMD in performance and being about par in price with better software tricks is neglecting the segment tbh. The 9070XT is in a weird spot of being slightly faster than the 5070 in faster but worse in RT but nowhere near the 5070Ti and bang in the middle in terms if pricing. Reply

Not saying you're wrong because I don't own any of those cards. However, all the videos I have seen on YT, especially the episode from GN where Steve Burke shows how the 9070XT, trades blows back and forth with 5070 Ti appears to demonstrate that the 9070XT can compete with the 5070 Ti and that seems to be the consensus in Newegg reviews of the 9070XT.

call101010 If you add console gaming , AMD is the clear winner and not Nvidia in the gaming industry. Reply
g-unit1111 Because who wants to spend $1500 on a 5080? Or close to $2500 on a 5090? No thanks. Reply

Admittedly, that would be me, an ASUS TUF RTX 5080 OC edition $1485 from Amazon about 6 months ago. FOMO and wanting to assemble my build for MSFS 2024. It does run great and my card has yet to hit MSRP, though it has come close for those with Amazon Prime. Reply
