This is an EVEN BIGGER opportunity than AMD had with Intel to have a “Ryzen moment”.
With trash uplifts (5070 may not even beat the 4070Super) and blatantly swapping of the names of their GPUs (the 5080 is XX70-level hardware – at best)… Nvidia has effectively doubled the price of GPUs in a few short years.
If AMD decided to finally not just-follow-Nvidia, I would RUN to buy a $550-600 RX9070XT with RTX5080 performance.
“$550-600? That’s unrealistic, Brad, you fuckin’ idiot!”
Fuck off. $1,000 RTX5080 performance is twice what the $500 two-gens-old RTX3070 had. And also…
- The $599 RTX4070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $499 RTX2070 Super
- The $499 RTX3070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $379 GTX1070
- The $499 RTX2070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $329 GTX970
- The $379 GTX1070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $399 GTX770
I wonder whose decision it was to make a bunch of former Titanfall 2 devs make yet another live service game.
Because that person probably put all of those TF2 devs out of a job.
