No problem pointing out AMD for what they do that is shitty, but I really can't say that they are "worse" than Nvidia in anything you've listed. They are certainly not sending their CEO out to lie our faces like Nvidia did with the 5070=4090 nonsense and that is before even getting to the stuff that GN and HU are addressing (haven't watched all of it). Nvidia is definitely the greater evil of the two and it isn't even close, imo.
thats why i only buy local, free-range GPUsThis just in, corporations are not your friend!
Absolutely, that 5070 = 4090 was so laughable that everyone called it the moment Jensen said it. And yes, their attempts to make the GN (and previously HU) change their policy are the definition of stupidity. Let's also not forget that they removed the 32-bit CUDA support from the 5000 series GPUs (again, such a stupid decision). I believe we agree on all of these that are shitty decisions. No gamer will say otherwise.
At the same time, you can't overlook the other things that NVIDIA has done. DLSS was a game-changer (newsflash to our console friends, but 90% of their games are not running at Native 4K, so they shouldn't be commenting about "real 4K". And when a game uses Ray Tracing... yeah... enjoy that 720p-1080p image). I still remember when people were hating on DLSS Frame Gen (just because they couldn't use it), and they were hailing AFMF and FSR Frame Gen as something extraordinary (which were STILL WORSE than DLSS 4 Frame Gen).
Right now, the NVIDIA GPUs are also closer to their MSRP than the AMD GPUs. With the current prices, you have to be an idiot to buy an AMD GPU. There are no whys or buts here. That's the truth. In the video, Steve tries to justify this by saying that by the end of the year, things will get better for AMD. Well, by the end of the year, the NVIDIA GPU stock may be higher, and their GPU prices may drop even more. You should never use a crystal ball to justify something. You should always judge what's currently available, end of story.
Nope. I just feel like he's beating a dead horse at this point. Probably chasin clout because those generate more views.is he wrong?
Reviewers should just shut up and let us consume whatever Nvidia wants us to. Gimme that 5060 with 4090 performance or whatever! Oh, the innovation!Yes the chief innovator in PC gaming hardware is destroying PC gaming, comrade! But you know who's saving it? A poorly groomed midwit who rakes in ad revenue complaining about them. True hero right there.
This dude is bitter as fuck at Nvidia for a long time. It's kind of tiring.
This chart doesn't factor in the cost of an early upgrade stemming from 8GB cards having a shorter useful life than 12GB+ cards. It only speaks to the here and now. We all know nVidia intentionally hamstrings the VRAM in their lower end cards because they want to encourage the expensive price jumps./but hey it is easier to play the bitchy bitching persona and get more viewers' outrage

but what is it with the hate for nvidia specially?

This has to be the most retarded reply ever considering who made the video and how much he has defended consumers against all corporate greed. gtfo.
It's Youtube. That's what Youtubers do.
RIP PC Gaming 1962-2025.
I'm glad im not paying too much attention then. To busy enjoying all these amazing games that keep coming out.If you aren't bitter towards Nvidia to some degree, you're not paying attention.

I've had zero issues with my 5090 and 5070 TI, except for the high price (which no one forced me to pay)
I totally get that Nvidia is doing lots of stuff that consumers don't like (just like most big companies.)
They're not our pals, and they just want as much money as possible (of course).
Good to see AMD giving them some competition this year, and I would love for them to keep it up and make the choice for my next GPU harder.
DF not playing the baiting game, and just say it straight
Euro prices include 20% tax. However in US we have been "liberated" with tariffs so don't see prices dropping any time soon.Isn't that more because of the Euro vs Dollar?
The cheapest 5080 I can find is $1400. Most are in the $1500-$1800 range. The MSRP of the 5080 is $1000. I don't know what AMD prices are but jsut in context this is absurd.Right now, the NVIDIA GPUs are also closer to their MSRP than the AMD GPUs.

For sure!This is a Pollyanna take it I've every seen one.
It's because AMD isn't even competing.Will all this criticism ever bear any fruit? People keep complaining, companies keep on being shittier and scummier, while demand was never higher ironically, lol.
so a corporation which effectively has a monopoly in the gaming market has been repeatedly pulling shady practices on both its customers AND its business partners. It has repeatedly screw customers with price gouging AND outright misrepresentations with its products. And when a youtuber points out how bad this is for everyone, somehow it's the youtuber's fault?
Keep sucking that jensen dick.....
Isn't AMD the manufacturer though? Aren't they the ones that set the prices?AMD also releasing 8GB GPUs and low stock cards way above MSRP.

Nvidia does suck for pricing now, and the 5000 series does offer minimal performance gain...but I'm more annoyed AMD isn't doing more to correct the market.

Because AMD wants to make money too.

They keep making weird choices with their GPUs, instead of pricing them lower, and making them more available at their actual MSRP. The 9070XT if it was $500-550 available anywhere would force Nvidia to improve, and I hope AMD's upcoming budget card is better value.
Only good thing is graphics are hitting diminished returns, so high-end cards will erode their value over time, and less people will even need to buy them.

I think the difference is companies using clearly Nvidia based RT Apis. Notice with things like RE: Engine or in general titles with RT that aren't imbedded with Nvidia tech the differences disappear.Seems like this dude is on AMD payroll. Its tiring now. Amd aint saint. I have noticed a thing, ppl dont talk about mfg and DLSS q in their benchmarks. As a reviewer you need to be unbiased and talk about all the pros and cons.
Simple test MFG and DLSS and show the benchmarks, show the fps latency and let ppl decide. upscaling and fg is the future which amd is trying to catch up with nvidia.
Rocking my 4070 and able to play pathtraced games like cyberpunk, alan wake 2, indiana jones which atm was not possible on amd. DLSS AND frame generation is an amazing tech by Nvidia. would def pick it over amd anyday
One acts like someone interested to use feature sets and tell customers what they can get for their money, detailling what they can do with their GPU. You don't like feature set? You skip. But the information is there.
The other one is on a war against DLSS & RT since dawn of Turing and hasn't let go. Can't even do a proper review of features to save their lives, insisting on using 1080p FSR quality for RT suite benchmarks, no comparisons between scalers, when sometimes that's a performance loss for Nvidia cards because some titles DLSS 3 was performing better. Why would anyone with Nvidia want to know performance in FSR. Otherwise they go native and almost never DLSS.
Test MFG? Why not drama farm with "fake frames"?
Tech jesus is marshalling troops to war vs Nvidia and drama farming Nvidia hate for a long time now.
To me this is just too much fucking drama. Even when making a video on 9060XT specs, not benchmarks, specs, he cannot even not start off the video by throwing nvidia under the bus with snarky comments. Nvidia has nothing to do with 9060XT specs FFS.
I've been following GPU reviews since mid 90's from ALL kinds of sites, some of them long gone. Never seen such an unprofessional reviewer.
Much like Hardware unboxed drama circa 2020(?), if you don't like the guidelines because you can't stop dog piling on new tech because its not interesting for you, old man yelling at cloud style "mah rasterization!", then by all means buy the card on shelve like anyone else and make a review in due time. Actually they should all be doing that, independent and unbiased reviewers should mean they go out of their way to buy these GPUs on shelves with their own money with the same situation as we face to get one, fighting bots, MSRP jacked prices, delivery guy stealing your shit, etc. Big fucking boohoo that the company is giving you away multi thousands $ worth of GPUs and ask you to feature some of the tech on it.
You're not looking very hard. There are 5090's regularly appearing in stock at Newegg for ~$2600 the past few weeksWhere? I see RTX 5090 for $3500 at Best Buy, B&H Photo, Dell, etc.
3500 fucking dollars.
Thank you buggy, this is exactly the point i was trying to make in a previous thread about this guy, you wrote it down perfectly.One acts like someone interested to use feature sets and tell customers what they can get for their money, detailling what they can do with their GPU. You don't like feature set? You skip. But the information is there.

This.If there were more games pushing the boundary I would feel more salty about all of this.
