IMO there’s zero reason to buy an nvidia gpu if there’s a similarly performing amd card because the price will just be better.

Meanwhile framework’s new AMD offering has nvidia slop in it. Just why. We want AMD. Give us AMD.

I do local ai stuff and i get more support with nvidia cuda, and you usually get exclusive gaming features first on nvidia like dlss, rtx, and voice

I wish they shipped with more vram though

My theory is that they’re just scared to annoy Nvidia too much. If they priced their GPUs so as to really increase their market share, Nvidia might retaliate. And Nvidia definitely has the deeper pockets. AMD has no chance to win a price war.

I’m doing my part. I picked up an Arc B580.

But in desktops, everyone seems to complain about Nvidia pricing, yet no one is touching Battlemage or the 9000 series? Why?

Its always been this way: they want AMD and Intel to compete so Nvidia gets cheaper, not that they will ever buy AMD or Intel. Gamers seem to be the laziest, most easily influenced consumer sector ever.

If Intel/AMD provides an LLM capable card, by the time I get around to making a big boy server, then that’s what I’ll get. Ideally Intel for the sweet AV1 encoding and Quick sync. Then again, if the card runs LLMs, then transcodes won’t be a problem. Cuda looks nice, but fuck Nvidia, I’ll go without.

Don’t look at me, I’m an Android gamer these days, and my home lab runs on integrated Intel graphics.

Maybe one day I’ll build a gaming rig, but mine’s so old now (gtx970) that I’m pretty much starting from scratch. I can’t justify the expense to make a rig from nothing when my Retroid pocket is >£300 and I can play most everything PS2/Gamecube and before.

It mentions desktop GPUs, which are not part of this market cap survey.

Basically I don’t see what the server market has to do with desktop dGPU market share. Why did you bring that up?

I love my high end 1440p165hz IPs G-Sync monitor.

We’ve come to a point where PC gaming is so mainstream that the average PC gamer likely doesn’t even know that AMD makes GPUs. They’ll just complain about the prices and then pay for Nvidia directly or indirectly via prebuilts.

Just saw a “leak video” that 9070 is outselling 5070, and so 5070 and 5080 supers are being released very soon.

I buy this.

And I can’t really blame people for not diving into components and wanting stuff to just… Work.

No one (on average) knows their graphics card off the top of their head.

Seems like a weird strategy to not compete out of fear of success.

Amd promised a msrp of 600 for the 9070xt, it rarely goes below 750. All amd had to do was stick to their prices and have ample stock. Amd is satisfied with second place

They did. There’s just no new amd mobile gpus. Like I think they only have 100 watt tdp or Max cooling to work with and the 7700S is the fastest amd mobile gpu currently.

If amd makes a new mobile gpu, framework will probably make it into a module.

I only upgraded from my 380 this year

They have the hardware for hpc, with their instinct cards. Software support is slowly growing. Rocm is fine, ZLUDA is pain and suffering on amd cards. I have a 6800xt, so old but decently supported and even then it’s annoying

What I mean is they need to sell reasonable high VRAM cards that aren’t a MI325X, heh.

There’s not really a motivation to target them over a 3090 or 4090 or whatever, but that would change with bigger VRAM pools.

It’s fear of failure not success because success isn’t an option.

Cause if they start to “succeed” then they actually fail since they will be crushed by Nvidia.

Their options are to either hold the status quo or lose more because they angered the green hulk in the room

That is concerning
