Anything to help them take on Nvidia and stay competitive is a good move. However, I wish they would also announce a recommitment to driver and software stability. I had to move to Nvidia for my workstation rig after having constant stability issues with numerous AMD cards across multiple builds. I can handle a few rough edges or performance that isn’t top-of-the-line but I can’t put up with constant crashes ad driver timeout errors. It’s annoying in games and devastating when I’m working.
I wish their GPU line received even a portion of the polish and care that their CPU line did.
Damn, I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I had to move away from a 1080 Ti that I was having constant instability with, even after I went back to the retailer and got a new card.
Unfortunately at the time, AMD didn’t have anything performance competitive. But it was worth the downgrade for the better drivers.
Will I even be able to afford one? Still rocking a Radeon VII here…
If you bought it for $700 back in the day, that’s $1000+ in current dollars
Yep. My paycheck has sadly not scaled in a similar manner :(
