    This is an EVEN BIGGER opportunity than AMD had with Intel to have a “Ryzen moment”.

    With trash uplifts (5070 may not even beat the 4070Super) and blatantly swapping of the names of their GPUs (the 5080 is XX70-level hardware – at best)… Nvidia has effectively doubled the price of GPUs in a few short years.

    If AMD decided to finally not just-follow-Nvidia, I would RUN to buy a $550-600 RX9070XT with RTX5080 performance.

    “$550-600? That’s unrealistic, Brad, you fuckin’ idiot!”

    Fuck off. $1,000 RTX5080 performance is twice what the $500 two-gens-old RTX3070 had. And also…

    • The $599 RTX4070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $499 RTX2070 Super
    • The $499 RTX3070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $379 GTX1070
    • The $499 RTX2070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $329 GTX970
    • The $379 GTX1070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $399 GTX770

    I’ll be buying a new graphics card in maybe 5 years. Hopefully AMD will not be just “discount NVIDIA”. At best, there’ll be a new contender on the market. Maybe even from China.

    It’s too early to hope for one from the EU. They need another 10 years. 4 years for the EU to realise they need sovereign hardware and actually fund it, another 4 to flip flop on the issue after the US votes out the fascists and seem like possible partners again, and 2 during which they will have finally put their balls on the table and committed to it. Actually, writing that, make it 12 - 15 years.
