Since when are AMD's RX series inferior to the competition?
Even the vega series is comparable to nvidia offerings in the same msrp bracket

Some games deserve to be "remade" and updated a bit....

'Optimized for Radeon' - as in making nVidia cards never reach high gpu usage...

That is not true.
Its true for gameworks tittles though,
Stop judging others by Nvidia standards pls thank you.

If AMD doesnt have a top end GPU that doesnt beat Nvidias by 15% or more, AMD is a complete fail. Its just fanboy BS.
I remember one thread where a Nvidiot was going on and on about the GTX 295 still being the fastest GPU over the HD 5870. That ATI/AMD sucked and cant even beat the GTX 295 eventhough it was a dual gpu and even the GTX 285 was faster by nice margian over the HD 4890.
Seen it many times over the years.
The HD 7970 was a bad ass gpu, and was 6 months older then the GTX 680 and in many games it beat it. Not by much but things were great till that GTX Titan OG came out. That ruined everything for a while.
For the people that think if you have a Vega or less, your not gonna have a good gaming experience, your an idiot. Mining ruined things for AMD gamers and Nvidiots just ran with it.

Can we have less of this Nvidiot bs? Cheers.

Fine with me. It's mostly just marketing mumbo jumbo with the occasional title that performs oddly over another. AMD wants to put their secret sauce in just as much as Nvidia does.
The only thing RE7 had was HBAO+, but it was poorly implemented resulting in unfortunate ghosting and smearing, even with TAA off IIRC. (And the in game AO was only passable quality, so I played with no AO at all)
Wish AMD had their own equivalent, or rather that they had developed HDAO further into a more efficiently performing, higher quality version. As it is often not worth the performance hit it commands.
(Mostly I just wish AMD made their own Gameworks like effect to compete, and create competition to drive improvements from both sides. A better SSR technique would really benefit the RE Engine, as the SSR in RE7 was absolute trash, awful quality that added temporal artifacts.)

Why they exist, just like any fanboy. I hate them, but they are even more elitist now then Intel ones.
Its going back to the damn crappy 2006-2009 era. Yea the HD 48XX series helped get back to competition, but it still sucked majorly during that time.

since....ever?
you can snag 780Ti for under 200$ *used, and rx 580? used? Yea, good luck getting it under 250...used. Want to compare rx 580 to 1060 3gb or 6gb, go ahead.
yes, AMD does have better cards than those, they are from 2xx and 3xx series, there is Vega to compete with 1070, maybe 1080, but what do they have in the middle? Nothing.

Anyone remembers AMD response back when OG TITAN was released?
It went something like:
- Our graphics solutions are doing fine. We are competitive in brackets in which we are competing.
- Are you going to respond to Nvidia's newly released Titan?
- WTH that's not even a graphics card
I swear a god. They said Titan is not a gfx card LOL
I see what you did there. You reached for "MSRP", instead of simply calling it "the price".
MSRP had become meaningless long ago. And with Vega, MSRP never made any sense to begin with.
Remember the Vega launch pricing fiasco? AMD wanted Vega 56/64 to be sold at $399/499. They had limited sales under MSRP. Quickly after that they bundled "free" games which were not free at all.
Of course AIBs were supposed to take a hit due to this optimistic pricing. Naturally no one bothered to make custom cards under such ridic pricing scheme. Until mining came to "rescue"
TL;DR
We are buying at street prices. No one cares about MSRP.

The thread is off topic.

RX series always were of the competition since launch. R9 390X-RX 480-RX 580 all these cards have the almost one and same rival through the ages gtx 980 4gb/1060 6gb. Pathetic to the bone mid range from red team.
But not better upper-mid range, Vega56 hardly beats or is equal to old 980ti/1070. No power juice here. Vega64 struggles against 1070ti/1080. Guess what little guy, all nvidia cards are cheaper than all AMD rivals. 😀
Yogi
By that logic why would anyone buy a 1060 over a 780ti?
Of course we're buying at street prices, I would always recommend buying the best bang for your buck. In fact for the last couple of years I have recommended nvidia gpus to friends. And at the moment if a friend was building a casual gaming system from scratch, I would recommend a 580/570 with a freesync monitor. For a higher tier it would be more difficult.
MSRP is useful to determine a cards tier and what its performance should be against its competition.
At the moment AMD has offerings of comparable street price and performance for all of nvidias cards with the exception of the 1070, 1080ti and Titans

working and optimizing with AMD, doesn't mean performance is gonna be bad on other vendors (Doom, Farcry 5 etc)
Texter
After being asked how they're collaborating with AMD the Capcom guy just says the team is currently working on optimization (so in general, for any PC) but they're happy to say they'll be supporting DX12 and they're going to be working with Freesync. That's it. No special AMD sauce was announced at all, just a working game with hopefully improved AMD performance when running in DX12 is what I make of it.

It's 2018 dude, let it go.
