Ey bro, I can't wait to be proven wrong

My wallet is bottlenecking.

I can rebuild a used motorcycle for cheaper than I can buy a video card. That's a problem!

“It’s gonna go to 600w” LOL without connectors melting?

I think focussing on their X600, X700 and X800 lines instead of trying to fight Nvidia with the X900 sounds like a winning strat. If your budget is the infinity sign you'll usually buy Nvidia anyway, but if they can beat every single card of Team Green in the 200-600 dollar range that would be neat.

The 1060 costed less than 300. As long midrange cards are above 400 and low-end above 200. most people ain't buying

I just picked up a 7900XTX and I couldn’t be happier honestly. Insane improvement over my 1080Ti.

With 80% of the 4090's speed at 4K for a grand less, I'm very happy with my 7900XTX.

I'm fine with AMD not releasing new GPU's this year if it means they focus on improving FSR and the existing feature set.

Misleading title. Implying that AMD is giving up because they are focusing on the most profitable segment is a bad joke.

Happy to be one of the 0.36%. Haven't regretted the purchase at all.

Stop looking at Steam surveys. I have SIX AMD PC's all with Radeons, and not ONCE the past few years have I been invited to submit any survey...

Those same steam records also show a clear trend of AMD cards including the 7000 series increasing percentage wise month over month while there are many decreases in Nvidia's higher end, except for the top end cards. It shows a clear trend that people are not only buying AMD cards but also changing from Nvidia to AMD in some cases. There are many negative percentage valuses for the 2000 and 3000 series for Nvidia with the only clear win being the 4000 series, with AMD having increases across the board for 5000, 6000 and 7000 series.

Kinda smart ngl. Their highest end card is like $800 less and only 21% slower at 4k but can't reach the 4090, like ever. So if they make all their lower end cards just like that, same same performance as nvidia but like 20 - 50% cheaper? Could be better for us all.

Happy with 7900 GRE. It's a heck of a value.

I absolutely love my 7900XT. Overclocks like a beast and can handle cyberpunk at 3840x1620 with 60+ graphical mods and still get 90+fps average. Best purchase ever.

AMD should start to focus on mid end GPUs again, like it was on RX 400 and RX 500 generations, for me these were the best GPUs from AMD.

Why would you spend hundreds of dollars more so you can see a nicer reflection in a puddle?

I have an AMD GPU and I'm proud of it, the value for money is miles better than what I would get if I went to the green team.

My 6850m XT = 6700XT is so amazing 🥺 Thank you AMD 😢

I guess they are planning to go back to RDNA 1 era. The issue is that AMD still struggle with ray tracing RDNA4 is probably a test to see if their new ray tracing engine can rival NVIDIA. Plus, there's a strong bias against AMD regarding their driver. Those biases are very, very hard to get rid of.

For me higher consume is not progress, it's just an old thing being forced to it's limit

Videogame crash is happening, because of absolute idiocy of "Game Passes," and Monopolization; due to this, the quality of games is decreasing, so there's literally no need to keep making ever more powerful graphics cards, when you can start focusing on Efficiency, Memory, Power Consumption, etc.

I returned my 4070 to get a 7800 xt and have not regretted my decision. 5800x3d with a 7800 xt, I´m very happy with my setup.

The people who bought 1200w power supplies are no longer looking silly. 600w GPU is crazy, throw in a 300w CPU and that's 900w just from 2 components lol. With overclocking you'd probably crash the PC from running out of wattage, not to mention the components would be on fire regardless of what cooling you use.

Don't forget that most PC gamers still play on 1080p.

6800XT here, first AMD card since...the HD 5850..no wait I had a 470 for a couple months in the middle somewhere that I was faffin with repairs on(used to repair GPU's for people) (I have some older AMD cards now, but I got them cheap for old PC's after I got the 6800XT for my main machine) after having Nvidia cards for ages(GTX 770, 1070, . when I was looking for a card it was during the late end of covid lockdowns etc, my choices were the 3000 series cards(with 4k on the horizon) or the 6000 series cards second hand. the 3000 series cards were going for the same price second hand as they were new, and the 3060 Ti was $1000NZD at the time, 3070 was 1400, 3080 was 2100 and the 3090 was 2400, and god knows what a 3090 TI was at the time, I saw one for sale for over 3k nzd. I ended up buying a 3060 TI and was pretty unhappy with it for the price, and that raytracing was annoying(it darkened corners and made stuff I want to see not visible, made reflections I don't look at prettier, but otherwise didn't do all that much to make it look better to me but cost a huge performance hit. a second hand red dragon 6800XT was going for $850 came up the only cards in my price range were the 3060 TI and the 6800XT, after looking at the stock speeds, and working out if I would use raytracing ever with a 3060 TI really, I checked benchmarks and framerates and realized the 6800XT smashes a 3060ti. I then checked overclocking related stuff and realized the 6800XT had massive potential to overclock like a beast, then be modded and overclock some more and the Red Dragon had so much high quality powerful fully populated VRM goodness. so I sold the 3060 TI for the same price I got it for and got the 6800XT. and a water block for it was $100, a second hand D5 pump and rad went for $40. so I had a water cooled 6800XT. then liquid metaled it. Then MPT to mod the power table to let it pull then used an EVC2SE voltage controller on it. now it gets 22k in time spy and found if I don't give a shit about raytracing, it floats between just above a 3090 to just above a 3090 Ti in performance depending on the game. I have no regrets getting the 6800XT. would I get another AMD card? yea, yea I would. still wouldn't fanboy for em tho, if Nvidia comes out with something that competes for the price I'd go them instead. but 8gb vram shitbuckets for stupid money that don't even perform that well? yea no thanks, then right after that cards that cost even more, still have only 8gb vram, and BARELY perform better than the last gen? yea no thanks.

Love seeing ur channel growing mate, closing in on 100k

Last time they refused to compete in high-end segment was actually a good move for them. RX400 series were just a great value mid-range cards. Because in mid-range greater amount of VRAM and highter raseter performance is still a great selling point. In high-end you would have more VRAM and raster performancethan you need anyways so only features like RT and upscaling become a decisive factor - and Nvidia wins effortlessly. So I would ultimately see it as a positive change. It's better to just refuse to compete when you can't win rather than loose money on a product that cannot compete and thus will fail to bring profit.

If AMD wants to steal the market, they gotta start innovating and make something new that's headline and hypeworthy. Instead of following Nvidia they gotta make their own "Rtx" or "Dlss" moment

What players want: low power consumption native 60fps@1080p $200 What brands and KZfaqrs push: high power consumption dlss fake dps@1440p/4k $2000 This is why.

Built my niece a PC for Christmas, Built 2 more, upgraded my desktop, about to do so again, upgraded my gaming rig. So far 3 Intel Arc GPU's, A380, A580, A750. 2 AMD, RX7600, RX7600XT. The XT is now in my Gaming Rig does RT just fine over the RX6600 then the RX7600, the 7600 is in my desktop. So just in the last year I have grabbed 2 RX580's, 1 RX5500XT, the 7600 and 7600XT and 3 Intel GPU's so a little over 1300 bucks total 8 GPU's. Still less than 1 4090. All my PC builds plus my old Board in a test rig frame are AMD CPU's.

Prices are ridiculously high, most people wont buy Graphics Cards at the current price. Which is a bit of a issue because they increase the prices because they don't get enough sales, but the higher the price increases the less people buy them. I for one only buy AMD, Nvidia in my country is about 30-40% more expensive.

I was really shocked to see AMD's own GPU sales figures, down 48% on this time last year.

I’ve got a 1080 Ti and have been holding off. What shall I upgrade to in 2024? My CPU is a 12400F. And I have a 2560 x 1440 monitor (144Hz).

I don't know why so many people still run after Nvidia. The GPUs are far too expensive for what they do. I currently have an RX 7700XT and my god am I happy with it. I have no problems with either the drivers or the GPU The price of the GPU was bad before but now it's a blast. I don't think AMD will stop, they're also getting better and have better prices

I'm waiting on high powered APUs, powerful enough to game at 1440p ultra. that way it'll make my next build heaps easier to build and quicker, and les power cables needed too. 2x 8-pin CPU cables will be the future for APUs at the moment 2x 8-pin is for over clockers. If they stopped making current High-ENd AMD GPUs could be a clear sign that they maybe still making high-end GPUs for RX 8000

Well, we're done this new Gen if it's true that the 5080 will be "just" at the same level of the 4090, but costing $1200-1300, that's just insane. Second best GPU from a new gen has always been much better than previous gen flagship. If AMD can hopefully make a mid/high end card for $649 that matches the 7900XTX raw performance with better ray tracing, that would be the way to go

7:05 there's also 7900 GRE now, it has similar performance/price ratio to 7800 XT, but a bit higher in hierarchy

You should check how many of those 4090s are still functional. Most of them have melted power connectors, cracked PCB and no functional warranty.

Does the Steam Hardware survey work?. I wonder

gj on your content bro, you just got another subscriber. your doing great, all the best.

Do we know what is reported as AMD Radeon Graphics and AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics in Steam survey?

I'd only upgrade my 7900XTX if there's a GPU equal or better in performance with way less power draw at 4k.

Your content is generally good and well researched but the level of clickbait in your titles and thumbnails is getting a little out of hand bro

A friend of mine got a 7900xtx just to find out it was slower than his old rtx3070. DDU was used in safemode to remove drivers and everything, 7900xtx was still slower. Maybe it was a defective unit, but after all of the throubleshooting he just returned it and got a 4090 instead

4:28 If your compatibility filter is on when selecting GPU's, you'll only be able to select what fits in the case you have in the build list.

14:43 Nvidia has traditionally not been first with new technology. It has always been a back and forth between the two. ATI created Tessellation in 2001, Nvidia was behind for a good while before they marinated an even greater solution. In 2002 ATI created the first DX3D 9 compatible GPU. In 2015 AMD gave us Async compute, paving the way for DX12 and Vulkan. Then that same year gave us the Fury X, the first GPU featuring HBM memory. Most recently in 2021 AMD gave us the worlds first chiplet based GPU, the MI200. Nvidia gave us stream processing units and CUDA in 2007, which were both exceptionally important developments. Most recently Nvidia is pushing Ray accelerators and AI which are both hugely successful.

They could certainly get Ray Tracing improvements to the moon in one go if they wanted to, same as Intel did. They have the ability to kind reverse engineer what's already been done too, they probably know to a very high degree what they need to do to get up to par.

We had rumors of the 4090 going to 600w as well. Lots of them. But that's the power limit with an OC on some expensive models like the Strix. I'm sure they'll stick to under 500w.

it feels like this happenned wayyyy wayyy back before on the vega vs 1000 series era when vega 64 and radeon 7 trying to close the gap to 1080 non ti and gave up since it can't close the gap to its superior 1080 ti and a few years later dated now 2024, they're like ... its time.

NVIDIA smartness is like Aizen planned level 🤣🤣

AMD cant compete and people act surprised? Took them until RDNA4 to implement ray tracing hardware that nvidia had back on the 20 series. Then intel came in and beat them in the low end on their first try... with much better upscaling.

Great Vids man imma sub

I still remember when it used to be ATI. How different are they since AMD now makes them?

Sounds like a good time to raise the prices. Because in the end, YOU BUY IT ANYWAY! LOLO!LL!L!L!LL! Thanks for the leather!

Lol.... Funny that the intel iris xe integrated GPU is one of the popular gpu lmao! Dunno but makes me feel quite proud cuz I own one haha! great video btw 👍👍!

I'm still holding on to my RX 5700 XT and I'm not in a hurry to upgrade. I left nVIDIA behind 20 years ago when ATI released their Radeaon X800 card and I have not regretted that choice at all. I got a allround more stable card and I have never had any blue screens of death since with any Radeon card or any driver since. I don't use raytracing and so it's not a problem for me. I rather have a bit slower card and stable than an insane over-priced card and unstable. Not alot have changed in 20 years sure but apparently alot of the issues I had back then are still pressent in the current drivers.

I love my 6800XT but the first one was a dud and had to be RMA'd. The newer one is doing great but a little louder than it should be. This is my first ALL AMD system I have build in over 13 years. Usually I build with Intel / Nvidia and in all honesty, I will be going back to that combination on my next build in a few years.

Happy with my 6700xt. Getting ready to install 7800xt. Coming from the 1070

stupid ads, lemme watch Vex’s new vid

Around 0:50 what s the ost?

There's gotta be like a ceiling here....in gpus and game graphics

I found a youtube channel of my country that brainwashes people saying amd cards have problems and if you don't want problems buy nvidia and all of people trust him and go yeah bro thanks for telling us and informing us i feel so bad for those people who trust him (Most people in my country are poor and want to buy a cheap card just to play old games like takken 6-7 and gta iv-v)

DLSS changed the game. I am playing AAA games on my 2022 midrange laptop with a 3050, on high graphics, at constant solid 60fps, only drawing 45watts of power. You people don't understand how game changing Nvidia's hardware accelerated ai super solution is. It basically extended the life of entry level Nvidia GPUs.

I'm on a 1080. My next upgrade will be a Radeon, but waiting for next series and price drops. Bang for buck is most important.

Is there any reason to question whether or not the steam hardware survey is accurate? If the mid range AMD cards are selling so well compared to Nvidia's, wouldn't it follow that they should be showing up in the steam hardware survey? I feel like I'm missing something. Is it pre-built PC's coming with Nvidia gpu's that's keeping their numbers so high?

The problem with the steam hardware survey is that *nobody does it*

Waiting for you to talk about ASUS's Scam

I don't see them releasing RDNA 4 until November, December most likely, what are they doing to do with the old stock? RDNA 2 is still unsold.

Pretty soon at Nvida’s power consumption you’ll need a dedicated circuit just for your PC, most homes only have 15 to 20 amp circuits with multiple outlets on one circuit. The average person doesn’t understand wattage to amperage, 120 watts = 1 amp this is a subject you should make a video on. So a 4090 is pulling about 5 amps, a 4K monitor pulling up to 2 amps (some less) cpu maybe 1 amp so on a 15 amp breaker your already at 50% of what it can handle before tripping. Also sustained heat on a breaker weakens it, they are at the point say your microwave and pc are on the same circuit if your pc is on and someone uses the microwave the breaker will trip.

Did you go to Business School or something? Your Titles and Thumbnails are on another level man..... I dont think I have ever seen you make a title or thumbnail that is nearly impossible to not click for someone interested in the PC space. I am actually being serious because you are very talented at what you do & would like to get better at it myself.

AMD being AMD... You can't charge 90% of what Nvidia charges when your product is clearly inferior... Nvidia has better upscaling, better Ray Tracing, better frame generation and they have convinced a lot of people that that stuff matters... AMD could fight back with more V-Ram and better prices, but they refuse to... Their low-end cards have the same pathetic 8GB V-Ram that Nvidia's cards have, and they cost about the same... but Nvidia has a better up-scaler and better ray tracing, does it matter on this class of card, well, no not really, but if the cost is the same why wouldn't I. This has always been AMD's problem. They have never been the first to implement a new feature, they are always copying Nvidia... and the copy is never as good as Nvidia, and they don't offer a big enough discount for customers to accept an inferior copy of whatever Nvidia's doing. AMD isn't as good as Nvidia If they want to compete they need to: 1. Offer more V-Ram than Nvidia AT EVERY PRICE TIER. 2. Stop with the fucking clamshell design and actually offer the wider memory bus that Nvidia refuses to offer to up memory bandwidth. 3. TAKE THE FUCKING RAYTRACING SHIT OFF THE LOW-END CARDS THAT ARE NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO EVEN TURN IT ON. 4. Accept a smaller margin on their products so they can LOWER THE FUCKING PRICES, cuz no one is going to buy AMD for 90% of Nvidia's price, they have to make it more like 75%... See, the 4060 is a clamshell 8 Mb V-Ram card on a 128-bit bus and it costs about $300 USD. The 7600 is a clamshell 8 Mb V-Ram card on a 128-bit bus and it costs about $270 USD, that's a 10% discount. NO ONE IS GOING TO BUY AMD FOR A 10% DISCOUNT. Now imagine that the 7600 has 12GB of V-ram NOT ON A FUCKING CLAMSHELL DESIGN, with a real 196-bit memory bus, and the price is $225 now would you be interested. OK, so the up-scaler still isn't as good, and the Ray Tracing still sux, but the memory is much better and so is the memory bandwidth and the price... but AMD couldn't do that and make a profit on the card. YES THEY COULD YOU GODDAMN MORONS. They wouldn't make nearly as much profit as they would like to make, the margin would be much smaller, but they would absolutely still make a profit, and they would take over the market segment that the majority of people buy in. Most people cannot afford a 4090, If you look at the steam survey the market is dominated by the more affordable cards. The card Nvidia offers in this segment is a joke, the 4060 is crap, problem is the AMD offering, the 7600 is just as crap and not any cheaper so why wouldn't I buy a 4060 and 90% of people do... AMD is stupid, Nvidia isn't even trying in the budget GPU segment, the 4060 is a joke... All AMD had to do was make the 7600 not dogshit... and they couldn't do it... so Nvidia wins again without even trying, cuz AMD is Stupid.

There needs to be a drastic change in the technology. I believe we reached peak with current tech. I'm taking a guess based on what I've been reading that Photonic technology will be the next evolution. This will be for all areas of chip technology.

I just can't with the prices for either of the brands. At the moment I have to buy second hand 2 generations back basically. It's just gone ridiculous

As a 7900 xtx owner, I really don't get why everyone is buying Nvidia

I hope they are trolling and release a beastly gpu 😭

i forgot what city it was but thats a pokemon theme you played at the beginning from the diamond/pearl/platinum series

I got offered 6800xt for 250euros, but it's used. Good deal?

don't like fake tweet thumbnails at all tbh..

The thing that I wonder, though, is if it's really smart to focus on the lower end cards. That only works if they dedicate their time to make them *far* better in price to performance. And they'd basically cut off the level of card that is currently their best-selling according to the Steam hardware survey.

I got a 7800 XT between Xmas and new years. Have yet to get a steam hardware survey pop up. Felt a bit expensive, but also probably the most bang for my buck

Dlss and frame gen were reasons I was leaning more towards nvidia for newer graphics cards.

2:35 How much of that gaming revenue is crypto. That's what I want to know, especially since CUDA is a big player when it comes to efficiency.

Kind of hard to point out RTX performance when arc cards still have issues in other titles

In my new build. I want RX 7600, but at that time it was not available. So i just settle for 4060. Maybe availbility in some area is the problem

Doesnt most of consoles run on amd gks ?

what really confuses me is i got a 7900xtx and ive been enjoying it. I put my old 3090 in my media and game server home-lab and i got the steam survey. I've reinstalled windows 3 times on my main pc for the new gfx card, a later mobo / ram upgrade and a later ssd upgrade/replacement and haven't got the survey. I wish they would just collect the "current actual numbers" instead of this "random" selection BS. when it comes to data like this, a few "tens of thousand" more entries isn't really a big deal for any reason than processing time or storage size although i only work with a data set of about 40k entries at my job so i understand that pales in comparison to the amount of data steam has to contend with.

I have a 7900 XTX. In either raster, RT, PT, native fps or FSR3 FG, AFMF or Lossless Scaling Frame Gen, I'm doing 120 fps locked in basically any game. Resolutions vary wildy, but you can inject FSR 2.1, 3.0 or XeSS in almost every modern game, so it's all good.

The risk of rain music for the outro was a pleasant surprise.

As a 7900 XTX user im standing here clueless. Whats wrong with people?

We need "ryzen root" pricing on amd gpu

I paid $750 in December 2021 for my RTX 3060. I can't justify changing for anything else right now. I have to keep this card at least until the end of 2025. Only then will I consider AMD... If they are still in the GPU segment. On second thought, I still have haunting memories of the RX 570 I bought several years ago: onscreen stutters, continuous coil whine, intense heat and fans blowing like a Jumbo jet is about to take off. So maybe not AMD.

I jump from rtx 2060 to a rx 7700xt and can't be happier. Really nice price i got here in Portugal.

The Steam survey isn't perfect last time I was asked I was on my laptop with an RTX 2060 in it. On my desktop I've been AMD for my last three cards. The last time I put this anywhere somebody else said the same thing so it depends what system your using when you decide to get rid of the survey. I suspect I'm not the only one.

The W7000 series for video work is actually pretty impressive, and multiple cards + AMD cpu can work together.

So far I've had a 5700xt, 6600xt for my son's build and upgraded to a 7800xt. I'll probably upgrade for the 9000 series.

We will never get back to the days where x60 was ~ $200, x70 $350, and x80 $500. Prices decreased from 2007 to 2012 but then rose again dramatically around 2018. Even accounting for inflation, a x80 should be ~$800-$900.

I wonder if a m d was able to figure out the hardware glitch with the seven serious cards. I hope the eight series doesn't have this problem.

The 600w report is about cooler capability right? I would expect Nvidia to want this to be over spec'd, I'm just saying, I wouldn't be surprised by a 450-500w card with 100w of OC' potential on the cooler, rather than a all out 600w GPU. Also a cooler having extra headroom, might be to ensure cooling capability in poor airflow environments, essentially reducing potential RMA. just speculating here.
