I feel good to have gotten a 9070XT. I also suspect it’s going to be hanging around as my gaming GPU for about a decade…
Duopoly is as duopoly does.
Duopoly? Intel is viable nowadays too. But people look at amd and nvidia the same way they look at gucci and whatever.
We gotta forget brands already. Especially when there’s an option as good as Intel is right now.
Which Intel GPU is competitive? Benchmark/testing links?
Competitive with what?

At price point it’s beating everything with RX 9060 XT 8GB being close.
If I’m reading this right, you could spend $50 more ($300 vs. $250 for the Intel) for a 9060 and get an almost 50% perf improvement.
This seems to say that if your limit is the dollars, the Intel cards may be a semi-workable option, but I guess it hinges a lot on your definition of “viable.”
This is ridiculous. I recently bought a card at $100 more than launch price and I’m starting to feel like I got a good deal.
How can they justify the price raises?
Do their production costs also go up or is it just “fuck you, you’ll buy it”?
GPUs use VRAM
I… I don’t think they have to justify it
They just don’t care about this segment anymore. Th money is elsewhere.
Just for anyone who sees your comment but doesn’t get what you mean: AMD’s revenue is 44% hardware related. They’re an ai company. They own multitudes of small scale slop farms
Edit: gross exaggeration
All they care about is money. They don’t care about justifying prices at all.

On one hand, I’m pleasantly surprised it’s rumoured to be only 10% with memory price inflation being much higher. On the other hand, how big was the markup on MSRP that they can withstand the memory price increases with “only” a 10% price hike?
