What’s up, link?

Appa.

Yep. This was, indeed, the worst generational leap in the last 10 years. The performance isn’t as bad as the price, though.

Oh, wow. No, buddy. No. Asshole is a far cry from Nazi.

As soon as you stop being a useless idiot.

give me your work for free

Geez. Just build it yourself, you lazy leech.

Literally anything would be better than plugging your ears and going “lalalala” which is what you’re doing right now.

That’s not true. Again, they have had 2 good cards in the last 10 years.

They don’t have any powerful GPU. Stop it with the denial, brother.

Did you miss the part where I pointed out AMD said they were gonna stop trying with high end? We were barely out of it for 2 generations and now we’re right back into it.

Welp. That’s another lie. Until very recently, if you wanted performance over NVIDIA’s 60-tier on AMD, your only options were the Vega 56, 64 or the Radeon VII, which were all trash. It wasn’t until the 6000 series that AMD was able to come close to NVIDIA’s 80-tier and they’ve come out and said they’re not doing that anymore, so we have a grand total of TWO high end Radeon cards. Your assertion that AMD has covered every price point below $3000 is pure fantasy.

Well, that’s just not true. I’ve been using AMD exclusively for 10 years now and they haven’t had a proper competitor to NVIDIA’s high end in since then. I’m willing to settle for less performance to avoid a shitty company but some people aren’t. It can’t make “less and less sense” to go with NVIDIA if they’re the only ones making the product you want to buy. More importantly, though: it doesn’t matter. The point is that people wanting performance above a 4080 are screwed because NVIDIA shat the bed with the 5000 series and AMD just doesn’t exist at that price point so the comment I’m replying to makes no sense.

Not at the higher end, it doesn’t.

Saying it’s “not a competitor to a 5080” is disingenuous. It’s also not gonna be a competitor to the 5070 and will barely compete with the 5060, and that’s assuming NVIDIA somehow only improves upon the 4060 by 15%, which would be their worst generational leap in like 10 years. The B580 is an almost 2025 card with 2023 performance. Its only purpose is to force NVIDIA and AMD to cut down their prices.

Amazing! Or it would have been in an alternate timeline where the RX7600 and RTX4060 were just released. Over here in the real world, Intel is more than a year late to the party with a lackluster product. NVIDIA and AMD have new cards releasing in early 2025 and, given that the B580 is within 15% of last year’s offerings in 1080p, it’s probably about to be outclassed. I really hope its existence at least forces the other two to stop with the 8GB of VRAM insanity but unless you need to upgrade right now, you shouldn’t care about this. So can we stop pretending it’s a good product?
