    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

      There’s no opportunity. Intel sat on their ass for years, but NVIDIA is actually innovating. One bad-to-mediocre gen won’t do anything, especially since AMD decided to sit out the high-end market this time.

      They also have to follow NVIDIA, because they’re just too big. If AMD introduced the RT and ML hardware six years ago, nobody would have cared, because they had like 15% market share. Now it’s even worse and AMD has to fight for the scraps with Intel.
