Well run corporations take a long term view and don't blindly chase quarterly profits. Increasing their standing in gamer's mindshare would likely lead to them making more money in the future.
I mean it won't because they are going to sell every product they make regardless of the price. You can't increase supply so the excess demand above the entire supply is ultimately irrelevant. If I can price a product at $2000 and sell them all, why would I choose a price of $200 instead? I'm not retarded
Insufficient supply is a temporary short term phenomena. If AMD increases mindshare, they can increase demand in the long term, when there won't be any supply issues.
To compete with Nvidia. Lets get real and people are not going to buy these cards in Masses for those prices. AMD is miles behind in software because DLSS4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FSR anything. AMD has to sell cheaper to entice the masses to want to buy it. If these prices are true then they failed again. They will sell some cards but again will be no competitor with Nvidia.
To provide a competitive market so NVidia can't keep raising prices 25-50% each gen with less improvement. Also competition not only results in better prices but also better products.
Raster or full perf? There's no way they improved so much that rtx is comparable to high end nvidia's offering.
Not that I believe the goal would ever be open like this but the meme is too fucking funny
AMD :
It’s even dumber if you look at the AIB prices. You just know even $699 will be scarce. And if we have to pay $900-$1100, might as well wait for 5070Ti and 5080 stock to catch up.
AMD can only set an MSRP for the basic model, the partners are free to charge whatever they want for the OC cards.
AMD could heavily hint at the prices they want to see and restrict supply if vendors don’t oblige. They could also knock off with Nvidia -$50 pricing.
Fair, but they should at least be equal in power to their competitors at that price.
And miss the opportunity for memes?
It's just common sense. If you want to go up against a juggernaut in any business, you have to do something extra ordinary to entice people to change brands. I currently am a new pc builder with an rtx 4070. I was considering buying the XT if it offered great price/performance. DLSS 4 as really been a game changer now starting to doubt I will bother and stick with my older card. The software on Nvidia's side is just miles better than what the competition has to offer.
Why don’t you wait until pricing is revealed and reviews happen before acting like a little bitch
The RTX5080 is not available anywhere near the MSRP, but even if it were available at $1000, the 9070 XT would still be a lot cheaper at $699. I think many people would still prefer a cheaper card, even if DLSS looks a little better.
If or when stock stabilises they can knock down the price. They know that the nvidia cards aren't selling at MSRP at the moment so it is more than a $50 discount for most. Alternatively Nvidia may have even known AMDs price targets and matched them knowing they will not sell for their MSRP and have little supply at that price regardless.

You can easily ride to the PS6 era with a 3080 man. No question. Especially at sub 4k.
Do we have a corporate shill here? Don't worry hun you don't need them to go "leave Brittany alone" for them.
That's not PC gaming. You're only PC Gaming if you upgrade every year. I remember Voodoo 1 to Voodoo 2. Those were great times. The jump from 486 to Pentium? Wow. 8mb to 16mb? Amazing. Playing Command & Conquer, Warcraft II, Diablo, Quake, Duke Nukem 3d, Final Doom, Quest for Glory 4, and the huge amount of stuff at Software ETC and Babbages along with the discount rack on KB Toystore? I'll never get to live such a wonderful era again.
Telling you to actually fucking wait and see the prices isn’t being a corporate shill.
