It's really good. I can see the 9070 and the XT being GTX 970 and GTX 1060 levels of long term relevance in gaming PCs

Honestly this whole "AMD sells more!" "Well Nvidia sells more in THIS place!" is a fool's errand to keep fighting over. Different locations in the world will have different pricing and thus it will shift which brand/card is better value for the money, and it will also depend on local tax laws and a ton of other variables. Brazil, for example, has AMD have somewhat lower prices overall thanks to AMD having an assembly plant here, something neither Nvidia and Intel have, and thus, their GPUs/CPUs are more expensive.

They'd probably sell even more of their naming scheme was less confusing.

I use AMD mainly because FLOSS values closer to mine than NVIDIA, but I wish nearly everything in late-stage capitalism wasn't a duopoly. Really a monopoly when the oligarchs own them both via multinational asset managers. I agree with the comments about older cards and the future of gaming though, I think the AMD vs NVIDIA conversation is going to move away from gaming as CUDA vs ROCm continues to evolve.

Great card. I am surprised how well this card performs on Bazzite.

I saw a Black Friday sale for a 5080 for around €1k, a decent OC model too. I have no interest in supporting NVIDIA or their fire hazards with the way they've been acting.

The 9070XT is a good card for the price, and that doesn't tell us a lot, there's going to be markets where AMD does better and some where Nvidia does better, as an AMD user I feel like they still fall behind with their drivers, I've had many Driver timeouts with my RX6700XT just because I was hitting alt tab on CS2, I've never had it on Nvidia.

Also someone who does a lot of upscaling with Topaz I would have loved to see AMD making some serious grounds there there's no reason why they should be that behind with content creators, I don't think we'll ever see the GPU department catching up as the CPU did with Ryzen but I feel like everytime Nvidia fucks something up, AMD does the same so It's a game of who's going to fuck up more.

I bought the 6700xt just because I was contemplating on the 3070 but I saw it was an 8GB VRAM card and I thought yeah miss me with that shit.

NVIDIA made like 4 billion on gaming GPUs and like 58 billion on AI GPUs last quarter. I'm sure 80% of those gaming GPUs were used for AI as well. To them it's likely irrelevant how they're doing in the gaming market.

The 9070xt is a great card and much better value than the equivalent Nvidia offering, last time I checked the benchmarks. The Linux compatibility was the other major draw. My system is now 100% AMD and I'm preparing to trial Steam os and Bazzite.
