    It’s inexplicable to me. Why are folks ignoring Battlemage and AMD 9000 series when they’re so good?

    Because the 2022 GPU amd 7900xtx has better raw performance than the 9000 series, and I’m pissed off they didn’t try to one-up themselves in the high-end market. I’m not buying a new Nvidia card but I’m not buying a 9000 series either because it feels like I’m paying for a sub-par GPU compared to what they’re capable of.

      Well, same for me TBH. I’d buy a huge Battlemage card before you could blink, but the current cards aren’t really faster than an ancient 3090.

      But most people I see online want something more affordable, right in the 9000 series or Arc range, not a 384-bit GPU.
