Nvidia CEO: "Radeon VII is lousy and nothing new"
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made some unusual harsh remarks on yesterday's announced Radeon VII from AMD. In an interview at PC World he mentions this: “The performance is lousy and there’s nothing new,” Huang said.
He finds the product underwhelming and then went on and says: “[There’s] no ray tracing, no AI. It’s 7nm with HBM memory that barely keeps up with a 2080. And if we turn on DLSS we’ll crush it. And if we turn on ray tracing we’ll crush it.”
He then added some more, “It’s a weird launch, maybe they thought of it this morning,” Huang then stated. Huang spoke before a small group of reporters and addressed a wide range of topics. It is very unusual harsh language from the CEO to talk down a product that is not yet on the market. The new Radeon XII will not be available until February 7, no objective independent reviews have been published yet.

Most important thing is that his cards just works.
We cant wait for that 1180 cards, Jensen.
11XX make no sense for me, Nvidia is all about RTX this RTX that.
I think the 11XX were made as a backup plan if sales are weak or if AMD poses a real threat.

Harsh words. I sense a bit of stress. RTX sales are slow and Nvidia actually lost half its value in the past few months.
anyhow it seems like Nvidia is going to play alone in the GPU market for now.
