    Try as AMD might to break the stranglehold Nvidia has on the GPU market

    They’re not trying. They knew $1000 was the absolute most they could get away with charging without having literally 0 market for the 7900xtx. And they fully knew nobody was going to buy the XT for $900. They saw Nvidia taking advantage of customers and said “hey we can do that too”.

      In addition to them still trying to one-up nVidia on who can cost the most, a bunch of people bought GPUs during covid. Vast majority of people aren’t due for an upgrade yet. I have a 6800 XT and haven’t glanced at a new GPU yet. No real point yet.

      I picked up the 7900GRE for $550 and have been pretty happy with it. I don’t have much of a reference because I came from a GTX 1080 but even then the 7900xt and xtx didn’t seem worth it. I actually went for a 7800xt at $500 but I figured 10% more price for 10% more performance was worth it to me since I plan to keep it for awhile.
